Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for coding a sampled analog signal having a repetitive nature, in which the sampled signal is split into consecutive segments each containing a predetermined number of samples; in which a short-term prediction analysis is performed on said segments and in which the coefficients determined in said short-term prediction analysis are transmitted and are also fed to a short-term prediction filter, in which a long-term prediction analysis performed on a residual signal available at an output of said filter and the information determined in said long-term prediction analysis is also transmitted, and in which the information present in the residual signal is coded and transmitted.
  • Such a method is known from "An error protected transform coder for cellular mobile radio", by H. Suda et al, disclosed during the IEEE Workshop on speech coding "Advances in speech coding", Vancouver, CA, 5-8 September 1989, pages 81-86.
  • This paper discloses in its figure 1 an encoder in which a short-term prediction analysis and a long-term prediction analysis are performed.
  • This encoder comprises a short-term prediction filter for generating a residual signal and comprises a multiplexing unit for multiplexing and then transmitting (after coding) information present in the residual signal, information determined in said short-term prediction analysis and information determined in said long-term prediction analysis.
  • This known method is disadvantageous, inter alia, because it transmits information in an inefficient way, i.e. with a large number of bits/second.
  • the method according to the invention is characterised in that the residual signal is transformed into the frequency domain, in that the amplitudes of at least a number of the frequency components obtained by the transformation into the frequency domain are combined to form a smaller number of frequency components in a manner such that the frequencies associated with the combined amplitudes are situated equidistantly on a linear Bark scale, and in that a signal is transmitted which is representative of said combined amplitudes.
  • the residual signal is coded perceptively, which means that only that information is transmitted which is relevant for differences in the decoded received signal which can be detected by the human ear.
  • the present invention makes use of the insight known for some time that human hearing functions in fact as a chain consisting of a number of filters having adjacent frequency bands but having different bandwidths, the so-called critical bands or Barks, the bandwidth of such critical bands being much smaller for low frequencies than for high frequencies.
  • a frequency scale formed in accordance with this insight is referred to as a linear Bark scale.
  • Bark scale For a further explanation of the principle of the Bark scale, reference is made to B. Scharf and S. Buus, "Stimulus, Physiology, Thresholds" in L. Kaufman, K.R. Boff and J. P. Thomas, editors, Handbook of Perception and Human Performance, chapter 14, pages 1-43, Wiley, New York, 1986.
  • the invention further relates to a method for decoding a signal coded by the method describer above, in which the long-term prediction analysis information received and the other information received from the residual signal are combined and the combined signal, together with the short-term prediction analysis coefficients received, is fed to an inverse short-term prediction filter at whose output a series of samples is delivered which is representative of the sampled analog signal.
  • the method for decoding is characterised in that original amplitudes in the frequency domain are reconstructed from the combined amplitude values received, in that the information transmitted as a result of the long-term prediction analysis is used to calculate the phase values associated with said amplitudes, and in that the calculated phase values, together with the associated amplitudes are transformed to the time domain.
  • the invention also relates to an apparatus for coding a sampled analog signal having a repetitive nature, comprising
  • the invention further also relates to an apparatus for decoding a coded signal, comprising
  • LPC linear predictive coding
  • LTP long-term prediction
  • Figure 1a shows a block diagram of an exemplary embodiment of a coding unit for the device according to the invention.
  • Figure 1b shows a block diagram of an exemplary embodiment of a decoding unit for the device according to the invention.
  • An analog signal delivered by a microphone 1 is limited in bandwidth by a low-pass filter 2 and converted in an analog/digital converter 3 into a series of amplitude and time-discrete samples which are representative of the analog signal.
  • the output signal of the converter 3 is fed to the input of a short-term analysis unit 4 and to the input of a short-term prediction filter 5.
  • STP short-term prediction
  • the analysis unit 4 provides an output signal in the form of short-term prediction filter coefficients which are quantised, coded and transmitted to the decoder unit shown in Figure 1b.
  • the structure and the function of the filter 5 and the unit 4 are well known to those skilled in the art in the field of speech coding and are of no further importance for the present invention, so that a further explanation can be omitted.
  • the STP-filtered signal is fed to a long-term prediction (LTP) analysis unit 6.
  • LTP long-term prediction
  • an LTP analysis is applied twice per segment of 160 samples in a manner such as that described, for example, in Dutch Patent Application 9001985.
  • a search is always made, in accordance with a particular search strategy, for a segment which is as similar as possible in a signal period preceding said segment having a particular duration and a signal is transmitted in coded form which is representative of the number of samples D situated between the starting instant of the segment found and the starting instant of the segment to be coded.
  • the output signal of the STP filter unit 5 is referred to as the residual signal and, according to the invention, said residual signal is transmitted in coded form in a manner such that only the information which, seen perceptively, is relevant is transmitted.
  • the segments of 160 samples in said residual signal are divided into 8 subsegments of 30 samples in the circuit 7. This is done by first dividing the segment supplied into eight subsegments of 20 samples and then completing these at the leading edge with the ten last samples of the previous subsegment. This implies that the last ten samples of every segment have to be stored in order to also be able to complete the first subsegment of the subsequent segment.
  • Every subsegment of 30 samples is multiplied in a circuit 8 by a window function such as, for example, a cosine function.
  • the window function is so chosen that, for every sample in the overlapping parts of the subsegments, the sum of the squares of the two multiplication factors is unity. The reason that this has to be the case for the squares is that the multiplication by the window function takes place both in the coding unit and in the decoding unit shown in Figure 1b.
  • a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is performed on the windowed subsegment in a circuit 9, 16 different frequency components being obtained for every subsegment.
  • the amplitudes A of the components 1 to 13 inclusive are calculated in a circuit 10.
  • the components 0, 14 and 15 can be ignored because they are situated outside the frequency band of 300 - 3,400 Hz chosen for speech communication. If a greater or a smaller frequency band is relevant, the number of amplitude components taken into consideration can be adjusted accordingly.
  • Bark amplitude components are calculated in a circuit 11. These are amplitudes associated with frequencies which are situated equidistantly on a linear Bark scale.
  • the application of the scaling value G has the advantage that the scaled amplitudes can be coded more efficiently.
  • the value of G is quantised in a circuit 13 and then transmitted to the decoding unit. If the scale factor G has been calculated, every Bark component is divided by the quantised gain factor ⁇ in a circuit 14. The result of this division is quantised in a circuit 15, coded and then also transmitted to the decoding unit.
  • circuits 12, 13 and 14 can be omitted and the four calculated values for the Bark amplitude components can be transmitted directly after quantisation in circuit 15.
  • the four scaled Bark amplitude components are multiplied in a multiplier 18 by the gain factor, ⁇ , decoded in a circuit 17, as a result of which the reconstructed Bark amplitude components B ⁇ 1 to B ⁇ 4 inclusive are obtained. This is of course not applicable if no scaling factor is used in the coding unit.
  • the amplitudes and the phases are required.
  • the phases are determined in the following manner with the aid of the LTP information decoded in a circuit 23 and consisting of the sample spacing D.
  • the 120 most recent samples of the reconstructed STP residue such as are present at the output of the circuit 22 to be discussed in greater detail below are stored in each case.
  • the subsegment is determined which is situated at a spacing of D samples in the past with respect to the present subsegment and this subsegment is multiplied in a circuit 25 by the same window function as was used in the circuit 8 in the coder unit.
  • a DFT is then applied to said subsegment in a circuit 26, after which the phases of the 13 components considered can be calculated in a circuit 27. With the aid of the phases determined in this way and the amplitudes already calculated, an IDFT is performed in the circuit 20, the amplitudes of ⁇ 0 , ⁇ 14 , ⁇ 15 and ⁇ 16 being set equal to zero.
  • the last ten samples in this subsegment are stored.
  • the first twenty samples form a portion of the reconstruction of a segment of the STP residue.
  • a completely reconstructed segment of the STP residue is obtained, and this is situated ten samples in the past with respect to the segment on which the STP analysis has been performed in the coding unit.
  • An inverse STP filtering is performed on this segment in a filter circuit 28 in a manner known per se with the aid of the STP coefficients received, the filter coefficients from the previous segment being used for the first ten samples.
  • the output signal of the filter 28 is converted in a digital/analog converter 29 into an analog signal which is fed via a low-pass filter 30 to a loudspeaker 31 which gives a high-fidelity reproduction of the speech signal supplied to the microphone 1, it having been possible to transmit said speech signal in coded form with a low number of bits due to the measures according to the invention.
  • a circuit 23' can be included between the circuits 23 and 24 to first subject the value of D received by the decoder additionally to a number of operations in order to obtain an optimum value of D for the reconstruction of the speech signal. These may be three consecutive operations.
