Abstract:
A frequency band determining method for quantization noise shaping includes checking whether audio signals obtained from low-pass filtering are transient, determining a predetermined frequency band to be applied as a frequency band to be applied for quantization noise shaping when the audio signals are not transient, and determining an extended frequency band extended more than the predetermined frequency band to be applied as a frequency band to be applied when the audio signals are transient.
Abstract:
A module (100) capable of appropriately selecting a linear predictive coding (LPC)-based (103) or a code excitation linear prediction (CELP)-based speech or audio encoder and a transform-based (104) audio encoder according to a feature of an input signal is a module (100) that performs as a bridge for overcoming a performance barrier between a conventional LPC-based encoder (103) and an audio encoder. Also, an integral audio encoder that provides consistent audio quality regardless of a type of the input audio signal can be designed based on the module.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus for integrally encoding and decoding a speech signal and an audio signal. An encoding apparatus for integrally encoding a speech signal and an audio signal, may include: a module selection unit (110) to analyze a characteristic of an input signal and to select a first encoding module for encoding a first frame of the input signal; a speech encoding unit (130) to encode the input signal according to a selection of the module selection unit (110) and to generate a speech bitstream; an audio encoding unit (140) to encode the input signal according to the selection of the module selection unit (110) and to generate an audio bitstream; and a bitstream generation unit (150) to generate an output bitstream from the speech encoding unit (130) or the audio encoding unit (140) according to the selection of the module selection unit (110).
