Patent number: 8447597Abstract: In an encoding process, a CPU transforms an audio signal from the real-time domain to the frequency domain, and transforms the signal into spectra consisting of MDCT coefficients. The CPU separates the audio signal into several frequency bands, and performs bit shifting in each band such that the MDCT coefficients can be expressed with pre-configured numbers of bits. The CPU re-quantizes the MDCT coefficients at a precision differing for each band, and transmits the values acquired thereby and shift bit numbers as encoded data. Meanwhile, in a decoding process, a CPU receives encoded data and inverse re-quantizes and inverse bit shifts the data, thereby restoring the MDCT coefficients. Furthermore, the CPU transforms the data from frequency domain to the real-time domain by using the inverse MDCT, and restores and outputs the audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2007Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hiroyasu Ide

Publication number: 20080040104Abstract: In a speech coding apparatus, a band-pass filter unit separates a residual signal generated by a predictive analyzer into band by band components. Then, a gain calculation unit and a voiced/unvoiced discrimination and pitch extraction unit acquire information on an intensity characterizing each band, information on a result of discrimination as to whether each band-by-band component is a voiced sound or unvoiced sound, and information on a pitch frequency when it is a voiced sound. The acquired information is coded together with a predictive coefficient and is transmitted to a speech decoding apparatus. The speech decoding apparatus generates an excitation signal while reflecting the feature of each band of the original residual signal. This makes the excitation signal an efficient replica of the original residual signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2007Publication date: February 14, 2008Applicant: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hiroyasu Ide
