Progress Report of a Project in Very Low Bit-rate Speech Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background work in various levels of speech coding is reviewed, including unconstrained coding and recognition-synthesis approaches that assume the signal is speech. A pilot project in HMM-TTS based speech coding is then described, in which a comparison with harmonic plus noise modelling is also done. Results of the demonstration project including samples of speech under various transmission situations are presented in an accompanying web page. The report concludes by describing and enumerating the shortcomings of the demonstration system that define directions for future work. This work is a deliverable for the armasuisse funded project “RECOD Low bit-rate speech coding”

Speech Compression Using Linear Predictive Coding
The aim of the project is to develop a system for encoding good quality speech at a low bit rate. To implement this we have used most powerful speech analysis technique called Linear Predictive Coding (LPC). It uses 10 order Levinson-Durbin Recursion algorithm to accomplish the task. It provides extremely accurate estimates of speech parameters, and is relatively efficient for computation.The s...

We present a new Trellis Coded Vector Residual Quantizer (TCVRQ) that combines trellis coding and vector residual quantization. We introduce new methods for computing quantization levels and experimentally analyze the performances of our TCVRQ in the case of speech coding at very low bit rates. The results obtained show that transparent quantization of Linear Prediction (LP) parameters can be p...
متن کاملSpeech and Audio Coding for Multimedia Communications
We have seen rapid progress in high-quality compression of telephone speech and wideband speech signals. Linear prediction, subband coding, transform coding, as well as various forms of vector quantiza-tion and entropy coding techniques have been used to design efficient coding algorithms which can achieve substantially more compression than was thought possible only a few years ago. In the cas...
متن کاملSpeech Compression Using Linear Predictive Coding(lpc)
One of the most powerful speech analysis techniques is the method of linear predictive analysis. This method has become the predominant technique for representing speech for low bit rate transmission or storage. The importance of this method lies both in its ability to provide extremely accurate estimates of the speech parameters and in its relative speed of computation. The basic idea behind l...
متن کاملLow Rate Speech Coding Using Contour Quantization
Vector quantization-based approaches to speech coding have generated new interest in very low bit rate speech coding, that is, speech coded to bit rates below 1200 bits/sec. To achieve such low bit rates, it is necessary to quantize the pitch and energy parameters at rates below 100 bits/sec. Contour quantization is introduced as a technique in which the contour of a given parameter is normaliz...
