A method for digital filter reconstruction for lossless audio

PendingCN122177143ASpeech analysisTime domainTransient vibration
The application discloses a digital filtering reconstruction method for lossless audio, and relates to the field of audio filtering reconstruction. Firstly, the transient vibration intensity of the segmented audio frame is extracted in real time to obtain a transient index value, and the transient index value is mapped into a window asymmetry factor by using a nonlinear control curve. According to the factor, a front half cycle attenuation compression and a rear half cycle stretching are applied to a reference window function to generate a dynamic asymmetric window and further obtain dynamic filter coefficients. Finally, the audio is weighted and convoluted by using the dynamic coefficients, and a cross-fading splicing technology is combined to eliminate frame boundary artifacts caused by dynamic adjustment. In this way, dynamic reconstruction can be realized only by relying on time-domain point-by-point modulation of a single set of filters, and the storage of a large number of filter banks or complex offline conversion requirements are completely eliminated.
