  • Publication number: 20240105189
    Abstract: This application disclose an encoding method and apparatus, a decoding method and apparatus, a device, a storage medium, and a computer program, and belong to the field of encoding and decoding technologies. In embodiments of this application, a first whitened spectrum for media data is whitened to obtain a second whitened spectrum, and then encoding is performed based on the second whitened spectrum. A spectral amplitude of the second whitened spectrum in a target frequency band is greater than or equal to a spectral amplitude of the first whitened spectrum in the target frequency band. It can be learned that, in this solution, the spectral amplitude of the first whitened spectrum in the target frequency band is increased, so that a difference between statistical average energy of spectral lines for different frequencies in the obtained second whitened spectrum is small.
