Title: Efficient coding of digital media spectral data using wide-sense perceptual similarity
Inventor: MEHROTRA SANJEEV
IPC: G10L25/90
Filed: 2016-09-02
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem in which conventional audio encoders may conserve a coding bit rate by encoding fewer than all spectral coefficients, which can produce a blurry low-pass sound in reconstruction.SOLUTION: An audio encoder using wide-sense perceptual similarity encodes a perceptually similar version of omitted spectral coefficients, represented as a scaled version of an already coded spectrum. The omitted spectral coefficients are divided into a number of sub-bands. The sub-bands are encoded as a scale factor and a shape parameter. The shape parameter may be in the form of a motion vector pointing to a portion of the already coded spectrum, an index to a spectral shape in a fixed code-book, or a random noise vector, thus representing a scaled version of a similarly shaped portion of a spectrum at decoding.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
