Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a perceptual weighting device for encoding / decoding an audio signal in a given frequency band. It also relates to a hierarchical audio encoder and decoder comprising a coding / decoding device according to the invention.
  • the invention finds a particularly advantageous application in the field of transmission and storage of digital signals, such as audio-frequency signals of speech, music, etc.
  • waveform coding methods, such as MIC or ADPCM (PCM or ADPCM) coding
  • CELP coding Code Excited Linear Prediction
  • the coder generates a fixed rate bit stream.
  • This fixed rate constraint simplifies the implementation and use of the encoder and decoder, commonly referred to together as "coded". Examples of such systems are: ITU-T G.711 coding at 64 kbit / s, ITU-T G.729 coding at 8 kbit / s or GSM-EFR at 12.2 kbit / s.
  • variable rate bit stream the bit rate values being taken in a pre-defined set. It is thus possible to distinguish several multi-rate coding techniques, more flexible than the fixed rate coding:
  • the multi-mode coding controlled by the source and / or the channel as implemented in the AMR-NB, AMR-WB, SMV or VMR-WB systems the hierarchical coding, or "scalable" coding, which generates a so-called hierarchical bit stream because it includes a core rate and one or more enhancement layer (s).
  • the 48, 56 and 64 kbit / s G.722 system is a simple example of scalable rate scaling.
  • the MPEG-4 CELP codec is scalable in terms of bit rate and bandwidth; other examples of such coders are found in the article by B. Kovesi, D. Massaloux, A. Sollaud, "A Scalable Speech and Audio Coding Scheme with Continuous Bitrate Flexibility", ICASSP 2004.
  • the invention is of interest here more particularly to hierarchical coding.
  • the bit stream comprises a base layer, or core, and one or more enhancement layers.
  • the base layer is generated by a fixed low rate codec, known as a "core coded", guaranteeing the minimum quality of the coding; this layer must be received by the decoder to maintain an acceptable level of quality.
  • Improvement layers are used to improve the quality; it may happen that they are not all received by the decoder.
  • the main advantage of hierarchical coding is that it allows an adaptation of the bit rate by simple truncation of the bit stream.
  • the number of layers namely the number of possible truncations of the bitstream, defines the granularity of the coding: we speak of coding with high granularity if the bitstream comprises few layers (of the order of 2 to 4), while a fine granular coding allows for example a step of the order of 1 kbit / s.
  • the invention relates to scalable bandwidth and bandwidth coding techniques with a CELP heart-coder in a telephone band and one or more band-enhanced enhancement layer with respect to the actual telephone band.
  • Examples of such systems are given in the article by H. Taddei et al, Scalable Three Bitrate (8, 14.2 and 24 kbit / s) Audio Coder; 107th Convention AES, 199, with a high granularity of 8, 14.2 and 24 kbit / s, and with fine granularity of 6.4 to 32 kbit / s in the article by B. Kovesi et al supra.

  • the objective of the G.729EV standardization is to obtain a G.729 core hierarchical encoder, producing a signal whose band extends from the narrow band (300-3400 Hz) to the broadband (50-7000 Hz). ) at a rate of 8 to 32 kbit / s for conversational services.
  • This encoder is inherently interoperable with Recommendation G.729, which ensures compatibility with existing VoIP devices.
  • perceptual weighting filtering allows to put shaped the coding noise by attenuating the signal at frequencies where its intensity is strong and where the noise can be more easily masked.
  • the most common perceptual weighting filters used in narrowband CELP coding are of the form ⁇ (z / y ⁇ ) / ⁇ (z / y 2 ) where 0 ⁇ 2 ⁇ ⁇ i ⁇ 1 and ⁇ (z) represents the spectrum LPC of a signal segment of length 5 to 30 ms.

  • the perceptual weighting device performs the desired filtering in one or more subbands and not in the overall coding / decoding band, which limits the complexity of the calculations.
  • the possible disparity of the gains of perceptual weighting filtering from one subband to another is solved thanks to a gain compensation which ensures the spectral continuity over the entire width of the frequency band.
  • the invention therefore makes it possible to obtain a homogeneous band at the output of the perceptual weighting filtering even if the subbands that constitute it have been treated separately from this point of view.
