Tree Encoding for the ITU-T G.711.1 Speech Coder

چکیده
This paper examines enhancement to ITU-T Recommendation G.711.1 PCM wideband extension speech coder. To further improve the core lower-band coding performance the use of vector quantization and delayed decision coding is studied. A particular case of delayed decision coding, tree encoding, is implemented in the above standard. The bitstream is compatible with both the legacy G.711 and the G.711.1 decoder. PESQ (ITUT P.862, Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality) is used to evaluate the performance. Both the vector quantizer and tree encoder have better performance than the original core layer encoder.

Improving the Error Resilience of G.711.1 Speech Coder with Multiple Description Coding
This thesis devises quantization and source-channel coding schemes to increase the error robustness of the newly standardized ITU-T G.711.1 speech coder. The schemes employ Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based multiple description quantizers (MDQ). The thesis reviews the literature focusing on GMM based quantization, MDQ, and GMM-MDQ design methods and bit allocation schemes. GMM-MDQ are then des...
متن کاملEnhancing Speech Coder Quality: Improved Noise Estimation for Postfilters
ITU-T G.711.1 is a multirate wideband extension for the well-known ITU-T G.711 pulse code modulation of voice frequencies. The extended system is fully interoperable with the legacy narrowband one. In the case where the legacy G.711 is used to code a speech signal and G.711.1 is used to decode it, quantization noise may be audible. For this situation, the standard proposes an optional postfilte...

متن کاملDual-Mode AVQ Coding Based on Spectral Masking and Sparseness Detection for ITU-T G.711.1/G.722 Super-Wideband Extensions
ITU-T Recommendations G.711.1 Annex D and G.722 Annex B, which are super-wideband (50–14,000 Hz) extensions to G.711.1 and G.722, have been recently standardized. This paper introduces a new coding method proposed and employed in the above ITU-T standards. The proposed coding method employs an adaptive spectral masking of the algebraic vector quantization (AVQ) for MDCT-domain non-sparse signal...
متن کاملA PCM coding noise reduction for ITU-t g.711.1
The ITU-T G.711.1 embedded wideband speech codec was approved by ITU-T in March 2008. This codec generates a bitstream comprised of three layers: a G.711 compatible core layer with noise shaping, a lower band enhancement layer and an MDCT-based higher band enhancement layer. It contains also an optional post-processing module called Appendix I designed to improve quality of the decoded speech i...
