Abstract: A method includes detecting whether there is a very short pitch lag in a speech or audio signal that is shorter than a conventional minimum pitch limitation using a combination of time domain and frequency domain pitch detection techniques. The pitch detection techniques include using pitch correlations in a time domain and detecting a lack of low frequency energy in the speech or audio signal in a frequency domain. The detected very short pitch lag is coded using a pitch range from a predetermined minimum very short pitch limitation that is smaller than the conventional minimum pitch limitation.

Abstract: The quality of encoded signals can be improved by reclassifying AUDIO signals carrying non-speech data as VOICE signals when periodicity parameters of the signal satisfy one or more criteria. In some embodiments, only low or medium bit rate signals are considered for re-classification. The periodicity parameters can include any characteristic or set of characteristics indicative of periodicity. For example, the periodicity parameter may include pitch differences between subframes in the audio signal, a normalized pitch correlation for one or more subframes, an average normalized pitch correlation for the audio signal, or combinations thereof. Audio signals which are re-classified as VOICED signals may be encoded in the time-domain, while audio signals that remain classified as AUDIO signals may be encoded in the frequency-domain.
