Abstract: An adaptive "temporal audio scaler" is provided for automatically
stretching and compressing frames of audio signals received across a packet-based
network. Prior to stretching or compressing segments of a current frame,
the temporal audio scaler first computes a pitch period for each frame for sizing
signal templates used for matching operations in stretching and compressing
segments. Further, the temporal audio scaler also determines the type or types
of segments comprising each frame. These segment types include "voiced"
segments, "unvoiced" segments, and "mixed" segments which include both
voiced and unvoiced portions. The stretching or compression methods applied to
segments of each frame are then dependent upon the type of segments
comprising each frame. Further, the amount of stretching and compression
applied to particular segments is automatically variable for minimizing signal
artifacts while still ensuring that an overall target stretching or compression ratio
is maintained for each frame.
