Multi-mode Harmonic Transform Excitation LPC Coding for Speech and Music
نویسندگان
چکیده
A multi-mode harmonic transform coding (MMHTC) for speech and music signals is proposed. Its structure is organized as a linear prediction model with an input of harmonic and transform-based excitation. The proposed coder also utilizes harmonic prediction and an improved quantizer of excitation signal. To efficiently quantize the excitation of music signals, the modulated lapped transform (MLT) is introduced. In other words, the coder combines both the time domain (linear prediction) and the frequency domain technique to achieve the best perceptual quality. The proposed coder showed better speech quality than that of the 8kbps QCELP coder at a bit-rate of 4kbps.

متن کاملA mixed sinusoidally excited linear prediction coder at 4 kb/s and below
There is currently a great deal of interest in the development of speech coding algorithms capable of delivering toll quality at 4 kb/s and below. For synthesizing high quality speech, accurate representation of the voiced portions of speech is essential. For bit rates of 4 kb/s and below, conventional Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) may likely not provide the appropriate degree of period...

A new method for two-band approximation of excitation signals in an LPC model, to improve speech naturalness in very low rate coding, is proposed. Based on a simpli ed model of Multi-Band Excitation, the method accurately determines the degree of periodicity, using the concept of Instantaneous Frequency (IF) estimation in frequency domain. The harmonic structure in the spectrum of LPC residual,...
متن کاملEfficient cross-fade windows for transitions between LPC-based and non-LPC based audio coding
The reference model selected by MPEG for the forthcoming unified speech and audio codec (USAC) switches between a non-LPC based coding mode (based on AAC) operating in the transform domain and an LPC-based coding mode (derived from AMR-WB+) operating either in the time domain (ACELP) or in the frequency domain (wLPT). Seamlessly switching between these different coding modes required the design...
