Definitions

• the present invention relates to audio signal coding, and, in particular, to an apparatus for encoding a speech signal employing ACELP in the autocorrelation domain.
• the spectral envelope (or equivalently, short-time time-structure) of the speech signal is described by a linear predictive (LP) model and the prediction residual is modelled by a long-time predictor (LTP, also known as the adaptive codebook) and a residual signal represented by a codebook (also known as the fixed codebook).
• LTP long-time predictor
• codebook also known as the fixed codebook
• the latter, the fixed codebook is generally applied as an algebraic codebook, where the codebook is represented by an algebraic formula or algorithm, whereby there is no need to store the whole codebook, but only the algorithm, while simultaneously allowing for a fast search algorithm.
• CELP codecs applying an algebraic codebook for the residual are known as Algebraic Code-Excited Linear Prediction (ACELP) codecs (see [1], [2], [3], 4]) .
• ACELP Algebraic Code-Excited Linear Prediction
• main stream codecs such as [17], [13], [18].
• ACELP is based on modeling the spectral envelope by a linear predictive (LP) filter, the fundamental frequency of voiced sounds by a long time predictor (LTP) and the prediction residual by an algebraic codebook.
• LTP and algebraic codebook parameters are optimized by a least squares algorithm in a perceptual domain, where the perceptual domain is specified by a filter.
• the perceptual model (which usually corresponds to a weighted LP model) is omitted, but it is assumed that the perceptual model is included in the impulse response h(k). This omission has no impact on the generality of results, but simplifies notation.
• the inclusion of the perceptual model is applied as in [1].
• the fitness of the model is measured by the squared error. That is,
• the vector d and the matrix B are computed before the codebook search. This formula is commonly used in optimization of both the LTP and the pulse codebook.
• ZIR zero impulse response
• the concept appears when considering the original domain synthesis signal in comparison to the synthesised residual.
• the residual is encoded in blocks corresponding to the frame or sub-frame size.
• the fixed length residual will have an infinite length "tail", corresponding to the impulse response of the LP filter. That is, although the residual codebook vector is of finite length, it will have an effect on the synthesis signal far beyond the current frame or sub-frame.
• the effect of a frame into the future can be calculated by extending the codebook vector with zeros and calculating the synthesis output of Equation 1 for this extended signal.
• This extension of the synthesised signal is known as the zero impulse response. Then, to take into account the effect of prior frames in encoding the current frame, the ZIR of the prior frame is subtracted from the target of the current frame. In encoding the current frame, thus, only that part of the signal is considered, which was not already modelled by the previous frame.
• the ZIR is taken into account as follows: When a (sub)frame N-l has been encoded, the quantized residual is extended with zeros to the length of the next (sub)frame N. The extended quantized residual is filtered by the LP to obtain the ZIR of the quantized signal. The ZIR of the quantized signal is then subtracted from the original (not quantized) signal and this modified signal forms the target signal when encoding (sub)frame N. This way, all quantization errors made in (sub)frame N-l will be taken into account when quantizing (sub)frame N. This practice improves the perceptual quality of the output signal considerably. However, it would be highly appreciated if further improved concepts for audio coding would be provided.
• the object of the present invention is to provide such improved concepts for audio object coding.
• the object of the present invention is solved by an apparatus according to claim 1 , by a method for encoding according to claim 15, by a decoder according to claim 16, by a method for decoding according to claim 17, by a system according to claim 18, by a method according to claim 19 and by a computer program according to claim 20.
• An apparatus for encoding a speech signal by determining a codebook vector of a speech coding algorithm is provided.
• the apparatus comprises a matrix determiner for determining an autocorrelation matrix R, and a codebook vector determiner for determining the codebook vector depending on the autocorrelation matrix R.
• the apparatus is configured to use the codebook vector to encode the speech signal.
• the apparatus may generate the encoded speech signal such that the encoded speech signal comprises a plurality of Linear Prediction coefficients, an indication of the fundamental frequency of voiced sounds (e.g., pitch parameters), and an indication of the codebook vector, e.g, an index of the codebook vector.
• a decoder for decoding an encoded speech signal being encoded by an apparatus according to the above-described embodiment to obtain a decoded speech signal is provided.
• the system comprises an apparatus according to the above-described embodiment for encoding an input speech signal to obtain an encoded speech signal. Moreover, the system comprises a decoder according to the above-described embodiment for decoding the encoded speech signal to obtain a decoded speech signal.
• Improved concepts for the objective function of the speech coding algorithm ACELP are provided, which take into account not only the effect of the impulse response of the previous frame to the current frame, but also the effect of the impulse response of the current frame into the next frame, when optimizing parameters of current frame.
• Some embodiments realize these improvements by changing the correlation matrix, which is central to conventional ACELP optimisation to an autocorrelation matrix, which has Hermitian Toeplitz structure. By employing this structure, it is possible to make ACELP optimisation more efficient in terms of both computational complexity as well as memory requirements. Concurrently, also the perceptual model applied becomes more consistent and interframe dependencies can be avoided to improve performance under the influence of packet-loss.
• Speech coding with the ACELP paradigm is based on a least squares algorithm in a perceptual domain, where the perceptual domain is specified by a filter.
• the computational complexity of the conventional definition of the least squares problem can be reduced by taking into account the impact of the zero impulse response into the next frame.
• the provided modifications introduce a Toeplitz structure to a correlation matrix appearing in the objective function, which simplifies the structure and reduces computations.
• the proposed concepts reduce computational complexity up to 17% without reducing perceptual quality.
• Embodiments are based on the finding that by a slight modification of the objective function, complexity in the optimization of the residual codebook can be further reduced. This reduction in complexity comes without reduction in perceptual quality.
• ACELP residual optimization is based on iterative search algorithms, with the presented modification, it is possible to increase the number of iterations without an increase in complexity, and in this way obtain an improved perceptual quality.
• the optimal solution to the conventional approach is not necessarily optimal with respect to the modified objective function and vice versa. This alone does not mean that one approach would be better than the other, but analytic arguments do show that the modified objective function is more consistent.
• the provided concepts treat all samples within a sub- frame equally, with consistent and well-defined perceptual and signal models.
• the proposed modifications can be applied such that they only change the optimization of the residual codebook. It does therefore not change the bit-stream structure and can be applied in a back-ward compatible manner to existing ACELP codecs.

• Determining an autocorrelation matrix R comprises determining vector coefficients of a vector r.

Moreover, the apparatus is configured to determine a residual signal depending on the plurality of linear predictive coefficients (a(k)). Furthermore, the matrix determiner 110 may be configured to determine the autocorrelation matrix R depending on the residual signal.
• Equation 3 defines a squared error indicating a fitness of the perceptual model as: ( 3)
• Equation 4 The ACELP algorithm is centred around Equation 4, which in turn is based on Equation 3.
• Equation 3 should thus be extended such that it takes into account the ZIR into the next frame. It should be noticed that here, inter alia, the difference to prior art is that both the ZIR from the previous frame and also the ZIR into the next frame are taken into account.
• e(k) be the original, unquantized residual and e(k) the quantised residual. Furthermore, let both residuals be non-zero in the range 1 to N and zero elsewhere. Then
• Equation 3 Equation 3
• Equation 10 Since the objective function in Equation 10 is so similar to Equation 4, the structure of the general ACELP can be retained. Specifically, any of the following operations can be performed with either objective function, with only minor modifications to the algorithm:
• Some embodiments employ the concepts of the present invention by, wherever in the ACELP algorithm, where the correlation matrix B appears, it is replaced by the autocorrelation matrix R. If all instances of the matrix B are omitted, then calculating its value can be avoided.
• the autocorrelation matrix R is determined by determining the coefficients of the first column r(0), .., r(N-l) of the autocorrelation matrix R.
• the sequence r(k) is the autocorrelation of h(k). Often, however, r(k) can be obtained by even more effective means.
• the sequence h(k) is the impulse response of a linear predictive filter A(z) filtered by a perceptual weighting function W(z), which is taken to include the pre-emphasis.
• W(z) perceptual weighting function
• Equation 10 may, according to some embodiments, be used to determine a codebook vector of the codebook.
• the objective function is basically a normalized correlation between the target vector d and the codebook vector e and the best possible codebook vector is that, which gives the highest value for the normalized correlation / (e) , e.g., which maximizes the normalized correlation / (e) .
• Codebook vectors can thus optimized with the same approaches as in the mentioned standards. Specifically, for example, the very simple algorithm for finding the best algebraic codebook (i.e. the fixed codebook) vector e for the residual can be applied, as described below. It should, however, be noted, that significant effort has been invested in the design of efficient search algorithms (c.f. AMR and G.718), and this search algorithm is only an illustrative example of application.
• step vii If position k already contains a negative pulse, continue to step vii.
• the target is modified such that it includes the ZIR into the following frame.
• Equation 1 describes the linear predictive model used in ACELP -type codecs.
• the Zero Impulse Response (ZIR, also sometimes known as the Zero Input Response), refers to the output of the linear predictive model when the residual of the current frame (and all future frames) is set to zero.
• the ZIR can be readily calculated by defining the residual which is zero from position N forward as
• the ZIR can be determined by filtering the past input signal as f ⁇ ( ⁇ ) for n ⁇ K
• This target is in principle exactly equal to the target in the AMR and G.71 8 standards.
• the quantized signal d(n) is compared to d(n) for the duration of a frame
• the residual of the current frame has an influence on the following frames, whereby it is useful to consider its influence when quantizing the signal, that is, one thus may want to evaluate the difference d(n)— d( ) also beyond the current frame, n > K 4- N.
• the ZIR of d n) into the next frame may be compared.
• the modified target is obtained:
• the long-time predictor is actually also a linear predictor.
• the matrix determiner 1 10 may be configured to determine the autocorrelation matrix R depending on a perceptually weighted linear predictor, for example, depending on the long-time predictor.
• the LP and LTP can be convolved into one joint predictor, which includes both the spectral envelope shape as well as the harmonic structure. The impulse response of such a predictor will be very long, whereby it is even more difficult to handle with prior art.
• the autocorrelation of the linear predictor is already known, then the autocorrelation of the joint predictor can be calculated by simply filtering the autocorrelation with the LTP forward and backward, or with a similar process in the frequency domain.
• ACELP systems are complex because filtering by LP causes complicated correlations between the residual samples, which are described by the matrix B or in the current context by matrix R. Since the samples of e(n) are correlated, it is not possible to just quantise e(n) with desired accuracy, but many combinations of different quantisations with a trial-and-error approach have to be tried, to find the best quantisation with respect to the objective function of Equation 3 or 10, respectively.
• Equation 12 Equation 12 as the objective function with any conventional ACELP pulse search algorithm.
• Some embodiments employ equation 12 to determine a codebook vector of the codebook.
• E.g., several matrix factorizations for R of the form R E H DE exist. For example,
• the eigenvalue decomposition can be calculated for example by using the GNU Scientific Library (http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Real- Symmetric-Matrices.html).
• the matrix R is real and symmetric (as well as Toeplitz), whereby the function "gs l_eigen _symm()" can be used to determine the matrices E and D.
• Other implementations of the same eigenvalue decomposition are readily available in literature [6].
• the Vandermonde factorization of Toeplitz matrices [7] can be used using the algorithm described in [8]. This algorithm returns matrices E and D such that E is a Vandermonde matrix, which is equivalent to a discrete Fourier transform with nonuniform frequency distribution.
• the vector /' can be quantized by an algebraic codebook exactly as in common implementations of ACELP. However, since the elements of f are uncorrected, a complicated search function as in ACELP is not needed, but a simple algorithm can be applied, such as
• An arithmetic coder can be used similar to that used in quantization of spectral lines in TCX in the standards AMR-WB+ or MPEG USAC.
• Equation 12 since the elements of f are orthogonal (as can be seen from Equation 12) and they have the same weight in the objective function of Equation 12, they can be quantized separately, and with the same quantization step size. That quantization will automatically find the optimal (the largest) value of the objective function in Equation 12, which is possible with that quantization accuracy. In other words, the quantization algorithms presented above, will both return the optimal quantization with respect to Equation 12.
• Vandermonde factorization of a Toeplitz matrix can be chosen such that the Vandermonde matrix is a Fourier transform matrix but with unevenly distributed frequencies.
• the Vandermonde matrix corresponds to a frequency-warped Fourier transform. It follows that in this case the vector f corresponds to a frequency domain representation of the residual signal on a warped frequency scale (see the "root- exchange property" in [8]).
• the path through which inter-frame dependency is generated can be quantified by the ZIR from the current frame into the next is realized.
• three modifications to the conventional ACELP need to be made.
• the error in the ZIR into the next frame between the original and quantized signals must be taken into account. This can be done by replacing the correlation matrix B with the autocorrelation matrix R, as explained above. This ensures that the error in the ZIR into the next frame is minimised together with the error within the current frame.
• Embodiments modify conventional ACELP algorithms by inclusion of the effect of the impulse response of the current frame into the next frame, into the objective function of the current frame.
• this modification corresponds to replacing a correlation matrix with an autocorrelation matrix that has Hermitian Toeplitz structure. This modification has the following benefits:
• Inter-frame correlations can be avoided completely in the quantization of the current frame, by taking into account only the unquantized impulse response from the previous frame and the quantized impulse response into the next frame. This improves robustness of systems where packet-loss is expected.
