    Abstract: An apparatus for compressing a digital input signal compresses a digital input signal arranged into frames of plural samples. The digital input signal is orthogonally transformed by plural orthogonal transform circuits in blocks derived by dividing the frames by a different divisor in each circuit. The resulting spectral coefficients are quantized using an adaptive number of bits. The output of one orthogonal transform circuit is selected based on the outputs of the orthogonal transform circuits. The digital input signal is divided into plural frequency ranges, and frames are formed in each range. A block length decision circuit determines division of the frames of each range signal into blocks in response to range signal dynamics. The range signals are orthogonally transformed in blocks and the spectral coefficients are quantized. The apparatus also includes a frequency analyzing circuit that derives spectral data points from the input data, and groups them in plural bands. A noise level setting circuit finds the energy in each band and sets a allowable noise level in response to the band energy. A block floating coefficient calculating circuit calculates block floating coefficients based on the maximum spectral data point in each band. A quantizing bit number decision circuit determines the number of bits to use for quantizing in response to the allowable noise level and the block floating coefficients. A quantizing circuit quantizes the spectral data points in response to the quantizing bit number decision circuit.

    Abstract: 2083713 9217884 PCTABS00016 Input digital data are arranged into blocks by plural samples and orthogonal transform is effected in each block to produce coefficient data, which are encoded with an adaptive number of bits. A plurality of orthogonal transform units transform the input digital data with different block lengths. Only one of outputs is selected on the basis of outputs of the orthogonal transform units. The apparatus includes a block length decision circuit for determining the block length for orthogonal transform of each band based on characteristics of block data prior to orthogonal transform of each band. Orthogonal transform of each band is effected with the block length determined by the block length decision circuit. The encoding apparatus also includes a unit for frequency analyzing input digital data, a noise level setting unit for finding energies for each block consisting of plural output data from the frequency analyzing unit and setting the tolerable noise level based on the energies on the block-by-block basis, a unit for calculating floating coefficients based on the maximum value data in each block consisting of plural output data from the frequency analyzing unit, unit for encoding outputs of the frequency analyzing unit, and an allocation bit number decision circuit for finding the number of allocated bits at the time of encoding by the encoding unit based on an output of the noise level setting unit and an output of the floating coefficient calculating unit.

    Abstract: An encoding method and apparatus and a decoding method and apparatus in which the encoded information is decreased in volume and in which the encoding and decoding operations are performed with a smaller processing volume and a smaller buffer memory capacity. The apparatus includes a low range signal splitting circuit (261g, 261h) for separating low-range side signal components (260c,260d) from L and R channel signals (260a,260b) converted by a transform circuit into spectral signal components, and a channel synthesis circuit (261e) for synthesizing (L+R) channel signal components from the L and R channel spectral signal components (260c,260d). The apparatus also includes a high range signal separating circuit (261f) for separating the high range side signal components (260h) from the (L+R) channel signal components (260a,260b), a signal component encoding circuit (261j,261k) for compression-encoding low-range side signal components and a signal component encoding circuit (261i) for compression-encoding the normalization coefficient information obtained on normalization of the (L+R) channel high-range signal components.
