Temporal decomposition: a promising approach to low rate wideband speech compression

چکیده
In this paper, we present new results on Temporal Decomposition (TD) applied to the Line Spectral Frequencies (LSFs) derived for wideband speech. The paper shows that by incorporating a dynamic programming search algorithm into TD, near transparent quantisation of wideband LSFs can be obtained at approximately 1 kbps. We also show that TD performs significantly better than Split Vector Quantisation at low bit rates. We propose that TD is a promising approach to low rate wideband speech coding for applications such as unicast streaming.

Low bit rate wideband WI speech coding
This paper investigates Waveform Interpolation (WI) applied low bit rate wideband speech coding. An analysis of the evolutionary behaviour of wideband Characteristic Waveforms (CWs) shows that direct application of the classical WI algorithm may not be appropriate for wideband speech. We propose a modification whereby CW quantisation is performed using classical WI decomposition for the low fre...

An investigation into low bit rate wideband speech coding for applications such as unicast streaming is presented. Wideband spectral parameters are quantised below 1 kbit/s using temporal decomposition (TD) applied to the line spectral frequencies. Quantisation using TD performs significantly better than split vector quantisation at an equivalent bit rate. Disciplines Physical Sciences and Math...
متن کاملHierarchical temporal decomposition: a novel approach to efficient compression of spectral characteristics of speech
We propose a new approach to Temporal Decomposition (TD) of characteristic parameters of speech for very low rate coding applications. The method models the articulatory dynamics employing a hierarchical error minimization algorithm which does not use Singular Value Decomposition. It is also much faster than conventional TD and could be implemented in realtime. High exibility is achieved with t...
متن کاملTemporal normalization techniques for transform-type speech coding and application to split-band wideband coders
In this paper we present an efficient coding method for the upper band(4-7kHz) of wideband(0.5-7kHz) speech coding based on a band-split approach. Due to the impulselike characteristics in upper band signal, it is very difficult to efficiently quantize the signal at low bit-rate when we use transform coding techniques. We propose two temporal normalization techniques, direct temporal energy nor...
متن کاملLossless Wideband Speech Coding
This paper investigates lossless coding of wideband speech by adding a lossless enhancement layer to the lossy baselayer produced by a standardised wideband speech coder. Both the ITU-T G.722 and G.722.2 speech coders are examined. Entropy results show that potential compression rates are dependent on the type and bit rate of the baselayer coder as well as the symbol size used by the lossless c...
