Embodiment 1

[0057] The present embodiment provides a kind of audio coding method, and this method is to utilize the frequency resolution characteristic of warped linear prediction (WLP, Warped Linear Prediction) and traditional linear prediction (LP, Linear Prediction) analysis to be very close to the critical frequency band in the human auditory characteristic and the characteristics of the masking feature, and finally obtain the masking threshold. see figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0058] Step 1: The encoder receives the time-domain audio signal;

[0059] The time-domain audio signal received by the encoder can be a speech signal, an audio signal, or a mixture of various sound signals that can be heard by the human ear. The frequency bandwidth of the audio signal is usually within the frequency range that can be heard by the human ear (ie 0Hz to 24000Hz). The audio signal received by the encoder is usually in a frame format, and the length of a frame is generally between ...

Embodiment 2

[0134] The embodiment of the present invention provides an audio coding method, see Figure 9 , and refer to the audio encoder shown in FIG. 1 .

Abstract

The invention discloses an audio coding method and an audio coder method. The embodiment of the invention also provides a corresponding audio coder. As the feature that the frequency resolution characteristics of linear prediction (LP) and winding linear prediction (WLP) are very close to the critical band and masking characteristic in human auditory characteristic is utilized in the technical scheme of the invention, a psychoacoustics module is built, the masking threshold is obtained, and coding is carried out on audio signals according to the obtained masking threshold, thereby decreasing the complexity of building the psychoacoustic model, being realized easily, decreasing the hardware implementation cost of the psychoacoustic model, and lowering power consumption of hardware.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of audio coding and decoding, in particular to an audio coding method and an audio coder. Background technique [0002] In the audio coding technology, the audio coding technology with distortion can usually obtain a higher compression ratio, but in order to obtain good audio quality, it is necessary to control the degree of coding distortion in the audio coding technology. The psychoacoustic model is a mathematical model commonly used to control the degree of encoding distortion. The psychoacoustic model is a mathematical model that reflects the characteristics of human auditory perception abstracted on the basis of the study of the human auditory system. It reflects the human auditory system's ability to perceive and mask audio and noise. The parameter in the psychoacoustic model specifically used in the audio coding technology is usually the masking threshold, which is the sum of the value of the signal ...
