High-quality and processor-efficient implementation of an MPEG-2 AAC encoder

چکیده
Presented here is MPEG-2 AAC LC Profile encoder software for an Intel Pentium III processor. MDCT and quantization processing are accelerated by the use of SIMD instructions. Psycho-acoustic analysis in the MDCT domain makes the use of FFTs unnecessary. Better sound quality is provided by greater efficiency in quantization processing and Huffman coding. All of this results in high-quality and processor-efficient implementation of an MPEG-2 AAC encoder. Sound quality achieved at 96 kbps/stereo is significantly better than that of MP3 at the same bitrate. The encoder works 13 times faster than realtime for stereo encoding on an 800MHz Pentium III processor.

متن کاملImplementation of AAC Encoder for Audio Broadcasting
MP3 is the popular audio coding standard. But now, a new higher quality audio coding standard Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is proposed and widely used. The quantization/re-quantization is essential in both MP3 and AAC. It proposes a new high accuracy estimation algorithm for MP3 and MEPG-4 AAC audio coding. The algorithm can be applied not only for re-quantization process in decoder, but also fo...

متن کاملDesign of a low power psycho-acoustic model co-processor for MPEG-2/4 AAC LC stereo encoder
A new design of Psycho-Acoustic Model in MPEG-214 AAC encoding is proposed. Differing from the conventional PC-based and DSP-based encoders, it was based on hybrid architectures. It was optimized at algorithmic and at architectural levels. At algorithmic level, MDCT-based PAM and fixed-coefficients were used to replace the original FFPbased PAM and spreading functions. At architectural level, t...
