Abstract:
To provide a bandwidth extension method which allows reduction of computation amount in bandwidth extension and suppression of deterioration of quality in the bandwidth to be extended. In the bandwidth extension method: a low frequency bandwidth signal is transformed into a QMF domain to generate a first low frequency QMF spectrum (S11); pitch-shifted signals are generated by applying different shifting factors on the low frequency bandwidth signal (S12); a high frequency QMF spectrum is generated by time-stretching the pitch-shifted signals in the QMF domain (S13); the high frequency QMF spectrum is modified (S14); and the modified high frequency QMF spectrum is combined with the first low frequency QMF spectrum (S15).
Abstract:
Provided is a band enhancement method that can reduce the calculation amounts for enhancing bands and further can suppress the quality degradation of enhanced bands. The band enhancement method comprises the steps of: transforming a low frequency band signal to a QMF range, thereby generating a first low frequency QMF spectrum (S11); applying mutually different shift factors to the low frequency band signal, thereby generating a plurality of pitch-shifted signals (S12); performing a time decompression in the QMF range, thereby generating a high frequency QMF spectrum (S13); modifying the high frequency QMF spectrum (S14); and combining the modified high frequency QMF spectrum with the first low frequency QMF spectrum (S15).
