چکیده
Recently the MPEG Audio standardization group has successfully concluded the standardization process on technology for lossless coding of audio signals. A summary of the scalable lossless coding (SLS) technology as one of the results of this standardization work is given. MPEG-4 scalable lossless coding provides a fine-grain scalable lossless extension of the well-known MPEG-4 AAC perceptual audio coder up to fully lossless reconstruction at word lengths and sampling rates typically used for high-resolution audio. The underlying innovative technology is described in detail and its performance is characterized for lossless and near lossless representation, both in conjunction with an AAC coder and as a stand-alone compression engine. A number of application scenarios for the new technology are discussed.

Mpeg-4 High-efficiency Aac Coding
The name MPEG-4 High-Efficiency AAC (HE-AAC) refers to a family of recent audio coders that were developed by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) by subsequent extension of the established Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) architecture. These algorithmic extensions facilitate a significant increase in coding efficiency relative to previous standards and other known systems. Thus, they pro...

The H.264/AVC (ISO/IEC MPEG-4 Part 10) video coding standard (Wiegand & Sullivan, 2003), which was officially issued in 2003, has become a challenge for real-time video applications. Compared to the MPEG-2 standard, it gains about 50% in bit rate, while providing the same visual quality. In addition to having all the advantages of MPEG-2 (ITUT & ISO/IEC JTC 1, 1994), H.263 (ITU-T, 2000), and MP...

MPEG-4 Scalable Lossless Coding (SLS) is one of the latest extensions to the MPEG-4 audio coding standard. It provides a scalable lossless extension of the well-known MPEG4 AAC codec. The lossless enhancement is performed in a finegrain scalable way, starting from the AAC core signal in small steps all the way up to a numerically lossless representation, thus also including near-lossless compre...
متن کاملScalable audio coder based on quantizer units of MDCT coefficients
A scalable codec has been constructed by using transform coding and the basic modules for scalable encoder and decoder. It allows users to choose a variety of scalable configrations in the frequency domain. The basic module is a quantizer that can quantize MDCT (Modified DCT)[1] coefficients transformed from a variety of frequency regions. This module mainly works at bitrates of more than 8 kbi...
