Quantization Noise Power Injection In Subband Audio Coding Using Low Selectivity Filter Banks
نویسنده
چکیده
The ISO-MPEG standards are widely used for high quality audio coding. They use perceptual models that require high frequency resolution. This implies two characteristics: they use high selectivity filter bank to decompose the audio signal, and the FFT frame length for the frequency masking threshold calculations is long. Both characteristics carried out a very high delay coding. In applications where the delay is a critical parameter, i.e. when the use of a feedback channel is important, the ISO-MPEG algorithms are not suitable. In this paper we present how to overcome the first handicap: to compatibilize the use of short impulse filter bank response and perceptual model application. These filter banks present low selectivity and so the non-ideal filters frequency responses should be taken into account.

Noise reduction in oversampled filter banks using predictive quantization
We introduce two methods for quantization noise reduction in oversampled filter banks. These methods are based on predictive quantization (noise shaping or linear prediction). It is demonstrated that oversampled noise shaping or linear predictive subband coders are well suited for subband coding applications where, for technological or other reasons, low-resolution quantizers have to be used. I...
متن کاملQuantization to maximize SNR in non-orthogonal subband coders
Recent research in the design of filter banks has shown that nonorthogonal filter banks can potentially provide higher coding gains over orthogonal filter banks. The use of non-orthogonal filter banks, however, poses a difficulty in the quantization of subband signals. The conventional nearest-neighbor (NN) encoding rule for the quantization of subband signals is no longer optimal. In this pape...

An analytical derivation of quantization error in filter banks using additive and signal dependent noise models is presented. The coding gain over PCM is derived for both noise models. Interesting properties of coding gain in optimized filter banks with an AR(1) input signal model, asymptotic performance of multirate systems, and the analytical constraints required to achieve such performance a...
متن کاملImproved audio coding using a psychoacoustic model based on a cochlear filter bank
Perceptual audio coders use an estimated masked threshold for the determination of the maximum permissible just-inaudible noise level introduced by quantization. This estimate is derived from a psychoacoustic model mimicking the properties of masking. Most psychoacoustic models for coding applications use a uniform (equal bandwidth) spectral decomposition as a first step to approximate the freq...
متن کاملQuantization Noise Shaping in Oversampled Filter Banks
The use of a noise-shaping system in oversampled filter banks has been shown to improve the effective resolution of subband coders. Although the filter banks directly determine the noise-shaping coefficients, a comparison between theoretical and simulated results has not been done, while the effect of the selection of the filter banks on the performance of the noise-shaping system has not yet b...
