Speech Coding at 4.8 kb/s with an Improved Pitch Filter
نویسنده
چکیده
The reconstructed speech quality in a low bit-rate CELP coder is very dependent on the performance of the pitch filter. In this paper, we present an improved pitch filter, a fractional pseudethree-tap pitch synthesis filter, which performs better than a conventional one-tap pitch filter. We discuss the frequency response of the improved pitch filter. We explore stability issues for three-tap pitch filters in a CELP coder. We have incorperated a fractional pseudethree-tap pitch filter into a 4.8 kb/s CELP speech coder. Both objective and subjective quality have been improved with the fraction pseudethree-tap pitch filter.

A 4 kb/s toll quality harmonic excitation linear predictive speech coder
The Harmonic Excitation Linear Predictive Speech Coder (HE-LPC) is a technique derived from MBE [1] and MBLPC [2] type of speech coding algorithms. The HE-LPC coder has the potential of producing high quality speech at 4.8 kb/s and below. This coder employs a new pitch estimation and voicing technique. In addition, new DCT based LPC and residual amplitude quantization techniques have been devel...

A high-qulaity speech coding method (SPMEX) at 4.8 kb/s is proposed. The SPMEX selects a suitable excitation signal, based on the decision from aconstic features of speech signal in a frame. lmproved pitch interpolation multi-pulse (PMPC) excitation is selected for vowel-like speech. In PMPC, multi-pulse during only one pitch period is calculated in the frame. Fnrther, gain and phase adjusting ...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Adaptive Codebook for a CELP Coder
An adaptive codebook for a onetap pitch filter has been used for determining the pitch filter using an analysis-by-synthesis procedure in CELP coders. In this paper, we first present the formulations for designing an enhanced adaptive codebook for a pseudo-three-tap pitch synthesis filter, which gives a better performance than a conventional one-tap pitch filter. Then, we focus on the stability...

The purpose of this thesis is to examine techniques of efficiently modelling the Long-Term Predictor (LTP) or the pitch filter in low rate speech coders. The emphasis in this thesis is on a class of coders which are referred to as Linear Prediction (LP) based analysis-by-synthesis coders, and more specifically on the Code-Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) coder which is currently the most common...
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...
