Low Complexity Parametric Stereo Coding in Mpeg - 4
نویسنده
چکیده
Parametric stereo coding in combination with a State-of-the-Art coder for the underlying monaural audio signal results in the most ef cient coding scheme for stereo signals at very low bit rates available today. This paper reviews those aspects of the parametric stereo paradigm that are important for audio coding applications. A complete parametric stereo coding system is presented, which was recently standardized in MPEG-4 Audio. Using complex modulated lter banks, it allows implementation with low computational complexity. The system is backward compatible and enables high quality stereo coding at total bit rate of 24 kbit/s when used in combination with aacPlus.

Low Complexity Decoding in Parametric Stereo Audio Coding Scheme
Parametric Stereo (PS) is an audio coding object of MPEG-4 HE-AAC v2 which utilized the Spatial Audio Coding (SAC) technique to enhance the compressing efficiency. However, the complexity at decoder is higher than that at encoder in PS. In this paper, we proposed a low complexity decoding scheme in PS. To take advantage of SAC, the encoder additionally extracts and transmits the parameters of r...
متن کاملSpeeding up HILN – MPEG-4 Parametric Audio Encoding with Reduced Complexity
Parametric modelling permits an efficient representation of audio signals and is utilised for very low bit rate coding by the MPEG-4 Standard. Here we look at the MPEG-4 parametric audio coding tools ”Harmonic and Individual Lines plus Noise” (HILN) which are based on a decomposition of the audio signal into components that are described by appropriate source models and represented by model par...
متن کاملAn Overview of the Coding Standard MPEG-4 Audio Amendments 1 and 2: HE-AAC, SSC, and HE-AAC v2
In 2003 and 2004, the ISO/IEC MPEG standardization committee added two amendments to their MPEG-4 audio coding standard. These amendments concern parametric coding techniques and encompass Spectral Band Replication (SBR), Sinusoidal Coding (SSC), and Parametric Stereo (PS). In this paper, we will give an overview of the basic ideas behind these techniques and references to more detailed informa...
متن کاملCoding of natural audio in MPEG-4
MPEG-4 standardizes natural audio coding at bitrates ranging from 2 kbit/s, suitable for intelligible speech coding, to 64 kbitls per channel, suitable for high-quality audio coding. Within this range, three categories of coding are defined: parametric coding, Code Excited Linear Predictive coding (CELP) and time/frequency (T/F) coding. The unique contribution of MPEG4 audio is that not only do...
متن کاملHigh Quality Scalable Stereo Audio Coding
This paper proposes an efficient, low complexity, scalable audio coder based on a combination of two embedded coding algorithms: the SPIHT (set partitioning in hierarchical trees) coding algorithm [1] and an embedded, nested binary set partitioning (NBSP) algorithm. The SPIHT algorithm, considered to be the premier state-of-the-art algorithm in still image compression, is used for the low frequ...
