Definitions
- the present invention relates to coding of audio signals, and in particular to high frequency reconstruction methods including a frequency domain transposer such as a harmonic transposes
- phase vocoders operate under the principle of doing a frequency analysis with sufficiently high frequency resolution, and the signal modification in the frequency domain prior to synthesizing the signal.
- the time-stretch or transposition depends on the combination of analysis window, analysis window stride, synthesis window, synthesis window stride, as well as phase adjustments of the analyzed signal.
- phase vocoders An algorithm which employs phase vocoders as, for example, described in M. Puckette. Phase-locked Vocoder. IEEE ASSP Conference on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics, Mohonk 1995.”, Robel, A.: Transient detection and preservation in the phase vocoder; citeseer.ist.psu.edu 679246.html; Laroche L., Dolson M.: "Improved phase vocoder timescale modification of audio", IEEE Trans. Speech and Audio Processing, vol. 7, no. 3, pp. 323—332 and United States Patent 6549884 Laroche, J.
- a transient contained in a block of the audio signal may be wrapped around the block, i.e., cyclically convolved back into the block. This results in temporal aliasing and, consequently, leads to a degradation of the audio signal.
- an apparatus for generating a high frequency audio signal comprises an analyzer for analyzing the input signal to determine a transient information, where for a first portion of the input signal, the transient information is associated and a second later time portion of the input signal does not have the transient information.
- the analyzer can actually analyze the audio signal itself, i.e., by analyzing its energy distribution or change in energy to determine a transient portion.
- the apparatus for generating a high frequency audio signal comprises a spectral converter for converting the input signal into the input spectral representation.
- the high frequency reconstruction is performed within the interbank domain, i.e., subsequent to the spectral conversion using the spectral converter.
- a spectral processor processes the input spectral representation to generate a processed spectral representation comprising values for higher frequency than the input spectral representation.
- a conversion back into the time domain is done by a subsequently connected time converter for converting the processed spectral representation to a time representation.
- the spectral converter and/or the time converter are controllable to perform a frequency domain oversampling for the first portion of the input signal having associated the transient information and to not perform the frequency domain oversampling for the second portion of the input signal not having associated transient information.
- the present invention is advantageous in that it results in a reduction of complexity while nevertheless retaining good transient performance for transpositions such as harmonic transpositions in combined filterbanks.
- the present invention therefore, comprises an apparatus and method having adaptive oversampling in frequency of combined transposers in a filterbank, where the oversampling is controlled by a transient detector in accordance with a preferred embodiment.
- the spectral processor performs an harmonic transposition from a base band into a first high band portion, and preferably, additional high band portions such as three or four high band portions.
- each high band portion has a separate synthesis filterbank such as an inverse FFT.
- a single synthesis filterbank such as a single 1024 inverse FFT is used. For both cases, the frequency domain oversampling is obtained by increasing the transform size by an oversampling factor such as a factor of 1.5.
- the additional FFT input is obtained by preferably zero padding, i.e., by adding a certain number of zeros before the first value of a windowed frame and by adding another number of zeros at the end of a windowed frame.
- the size of the FFT is increased by the oversampling and preferably zero padding is performed, although other values such as certain noise values different from zero can also be padded to windowed frames.
- the spectral processor can additionally be controlled by the analyzer output signal, i.e., by the transient information so that for the case of a transient portion where the FFT is longer compared to the non-transient or non-padded case, start index values for the mapping of lines in a filterbank, i.e., for different transposition "rounds" or transposition iterations are changed depending on the oversampling factor, where this change preferably comprises a multiplication of the used transform domain index by the oversampling factor to obtain the new start index for a patching operation for the frequency domain oversampled case.

- Fig. 1 illustrates an apparatus for generating a high frequency audio signal in accordance with an embodiment.
- An input signal is provided via an input signal line 10 to an analyzer 12 and a spectral converter 14.
- the analyzer is configured for analyzing the input signal to determine a transient information to be output on a transient information line 16. Additionally, the analyzer will find out whether there exists a second later portion of the input signal which does not have the transient information. There does not exist signals which are always transient. Due to complexity reasons, it is preferred to perform the transient detection so that the transient portions, i.e., "a first portion" of the input signal occurs quite rarely, since the inventive frequency domain oversampling is reducing the efficiency, but is necessary for a good quality audio processing.
- the frequency domain oversampling is only switched on when it is actually necessary and is switched off when it is not necessary, i.e., when the signal is a non-transient signal, although the frequency domain oversampling could even be switched off for transient signals having transient events close to a center of the window as discussed in context of Fig. 7a.
- each transient will, for some windows, be close to the center, i.e., will be a "good” transient, but will, for another number of windows, be close to the edge of the window and will therefore also be a "bad" transient for these windows.
- the spectral converter 14 is configured for converting the input signal into an input spectral representation output on line 11.
- the spectral processor 13 is connected to the spectral converter via the line 11.
- the spectral processor 13 is configured for processing the input spectral representation to generate a processed spectral representation comprising values for higher frequencies than the input spectral representation. Stated differently, the spectral processor 13 performs the transposition, and preferably performs an harmonic transposition, although other transpositions could be performed as well in the spectral processor 13.
- the processed spectral representation is output from the spectral processor 13 via a line 15 to a time converter 17, where the time converter 17 is configured for converting the processed spectral representation to a time representation.
- the spectral representation is a frequency domain or filterbank domain representation and the time representation is a straightforward full bandwidth time domain representation, although the time converter can also be configured for directly transforming the processed spectral representation 15 into a filterbank domain having individual subband signals each having a certain higher bandwidth than an FFT filterbank. Therefore, the output time representation on output line 18 can also comprise one or several subband signals, where each subband signal has a higher bandwidth than a frequency line or value in the processed spectral representation.
- the spectral converter 14 or the time converter 17 or both elements are controllable with respect to the size of the spectral conversion algorithm to perform a frequency domain oversampling for the first portion of the audio signal having associated the transient information and to not perform the frequency domain oversampling for the second portion of the input signal which does not have the transient information in order to provide a high efficiency and a reduced complexity without any loss of audio quality.
- the spectral converter is configured for performing the frequency domain oversampling by applying a longer transform length for the first portion having associated transient information compared to the transform length applied to the second portion, wherein the longer transform length comprises padded data.
- the difference in length between the two transform lengths is represented by the frequency domain oversampling factor which can be in the range of 1.3 to 3, and preferably, is as low as possible but sufficiently large to make sure that "bad transients" as illustrated in Fig. 7 do not introduce any pre-echoes or only introduce small pre-echoes which are tolerable.
- the preferred value of the oversampling factor is between 1.4 and 1.9.
- the spectral converter 14 comprises an analysis windower 14a and an FFT processor 14b. Additionally, the time converter comprises an inverse FFT module 17a, a synthesis windower 17b and an overlap-add processor at 17c.
- An inventive apparatus may comprise a single time converter 17 as, for example, illustrated with respect to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, or can comprise a single spectral converter 14 and several time converters as illustrated in Fig. 4.
- the spectral processor 13 preferably comprises a phase processing/transposition module 13 a, which will be described in more detail subsequently.
- the phase processing/transposition module can, however, be implemented by any one of the known patching algorithms for generating high frequency lines from low frequency lines within a filterbank such as known from M. Dietz, S.
- Fig. 2b illustrates an SBR (spectral band replication) for a high frequency reconstruction processor.
- a core decoder output signal which can, for example, be a time domain output signal is provided to block 20, which symbolizes the Fig. 1 or Fig. 2a processing.
- the time converter 18 finally outputs a true time domain signal.
- This true time domain signal is subsequently input into preferably a QMF (quadrature mirror filter) analysis stage 21, which provides a plurality of subband signals on line 22.
- QMF quadrature mirror filter
- These individual subband signals are input into an SBR processor 23, which additionally receives SBR parameters 24, which are typically derived from an input bitstream, to which the encoded low band signal which is input into the core decoder (not illustrated in Fig. 2b) belongs to.
- the SBR processor 23 outputs an envelope adjusted and in other respects manipulated high frequency audio signal to a QMF synthesis stage 25, which finally outputs a time domain high band audio signal on line 26.
- the signal on line 26 is forwarded into a combiner 27, which additionally receives the low band signal via bypass line 28. It is preferred that the bypass line 28 or the combiner introduces a sufficient delay into the low band signal so that the correct high band signal 26 is combined with the correct low band signal 28.
- the QMF synthesis stage 25 can provide the function of a synthesis stage and a combiner, when the low band signal is also available in the QMF representation and when the QMF representation of the low band is provided into the lower channels of the QMF synthesis stage 25 as illustrated by line 29. In this case, the combiner 27 is not necessary. Either at the output of the QMF synthesis stage 25 or at the output of the combiner 27, the bandwidth extended audio signal is output. This signal can then be stored, transmitted or replayed via an amplifier and loudspeaker.
- Fig. 4 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention relying on the plurality of different time converters 170a, 170b, 170c. Additionally, Fig. 4 illustrates the processing of the analysis windower 14a of Fig. 2a with an analysis stride a, which is 128 samples in this embodiment. When a length of 1024 samples for an analysis window is considered, then this means an 8 -fold overlapping processing of the analysis windower 14a.
- phase processor 41 which is part of the spectral processor 13 in Fig. 1 receives, as an input, preferably complex spectral values from the spectral converter 14 and processes each value in such a way that each phase of each value is multiplied by two.
- phase processor 14 there exists the processed spectral representation having the same amplitudes as before block 41, but having each phase multiplied by 2.
- the phase processor 42 determines the phase of each input spectral line and multiplies this phase by a factor of 3.
- phase processor 43 again retrieves the phase of each complex spectral line output by this spectral converter and multiplies the phase of each spectral line by 4. Then, the outputs of the phase processors are forwarded to corresponding time converters 170a, 170b, 270c.
- downsamplers 44 and 45 are provided, where the downsampler 44 has a downsampling factor of 3/2 and the downsampler 45 has a downsampling factor of 2.
- the downsamplers 44, 45 and at the output of the time converter 170a all signals are on the same sampling rate which is equal to 2fs and can, therefore, be added together in a sample by sample manner via adder 46.
- the output signal at the adder 46 has two times the sampling frequency of the input signal fs in the left-hand side of Fig. 4. Since the output signal of spectral time converter 170a is at double the size of the input sampling rate, an overlap-add processing with a different stride of, in this example, 256 is performed in block 170a. Consequently, another overlap-add processing indicated by "3" is formed in time converter b, and an even larger stride of 512 is applied by time converter 170c. Although items 44 and 45 perform a Downsampling of 3/2 and 4/2, this downsampling in a sense corresponds to a three times downsampling and a four times downsampling as known from the phase vocoder theory.
- the factor 1/2 comes from the fact that the output of element 170a is anyway on the double sampling frequency compared to the input, and the first processing such as by the combiner 46 is performed on double the sampling rate.
- the increase of the sampling rate to two times the sampling rate or another higher sampling rate may be necessary, since the spectral content of the high frequency audio signal is higher and, in order to produce a signal without aliasing, the sampling rate also has to increase in accordance with the sampling theorem.
- the generation of higher frequencies is performed by feeding the different time converters 170a, 170b, 170c, so that the signals output by the spectral processors 41, 42, 43 are input into the corresponding frequency channels.
- the time converters 170a, 170b, 170c have an increased frequency spacing compared to the input filterbank 14, so that, instead of the same size of these processors, i.e., the same FFT size, the signal generated by this processor represents a higher spectral content, or, stated differently, a higher maximum frequency.
- the analyzer 12 is configured for retrieving the transient information from the input signal and to control processors 14, 170a, 170b, 170c to use a larger transform size and to use padded values before the beginning of the windowed frame and after the end of the windowed frame, so that the frequency domain oversampling is performed in an adaptive way.
- a single synthesis filterbank 17 is employed instead of the three synthesis filterbanks 170a, 170b, 170c.
- the phase processor 13 collectively performs a phase processing corresponding to the multiplications by 2, by 3 and by 4 as indicated in blocks 41 to 43 in Fig. 4.
- the spectral converter 14 performs a windowing operation with an analysis stride of 128, and the time converter 17 performs an overlap-add processing with a synthesis stride of 256.
- the time converter 17 performs a frequency-time conversion while applying a double spacing between individual frequency lines. Since the output of block 17 has, for each window, 1024 values, and since the sampling rate is doubled, the time length of a windowed frame is half the amount of the time length of an input frame.
- This reduction in length is balanced by applying a synthesis stride of 256 or, stated generally, a synthesis stride of 2 times the analysis stride.
- the synthesis stride has to be larger than the analysis stride by a factor, which can be equal to the sampling frequency increase factor.
- Fig. 5 illustrates an efficient combined filterbank structure for the transposes where the two lower branches of Fig. 4 are omitted.
- the third and fourth order harmonics are then produced in the second order bank as illustrated in Fig. 5.
- the input to the synthesis band with the index n is obtained from the analysis bands with index k and k+1.
- k+r represent the integer and fractional representations of nQ/T.
- Fig. 6 illustrates, on the left-hand side, a graphical representation of the transposition of the spectrum and, on the right-hand side, the mapping of lines in the filterbank domain, i.e., the feeding of a source line to a target line, where the source line is an output of an analysis filterbank, i.e., a spectral converter, and where the target line or target bin is an input into a synthesis or time converter.
- a frequency index k is, as can be seen in the middle and the lower portion of the left-hand side, transposed to a frequency of 3/2k or 2k, but in a system having double the sampling rate so that, in the end, the transposition of a physical frequency corresponding to e.g. k in a portion of Fig. 6 indicated by fs to a target frequency k, 3/2k or 2k corresponds to a transposition or a physical frequency by 2, 3, or 4, respectively.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a transposition by a factor of 2, although a frequency line with an index k is mapped to a frequency line with the same index k.
- the transposition takes place due to the sampling rate conversion by a factor of 2 implicitly performed by using the same FFT kernel size, but with a different frequency spacing, i.e., with a doubled frequency spacing.
- the mapping of lines in the filterbank from the analysis filterbank output (source bins) to the synthesis filterbank inputs (target bins) is straightforward for the first case, since the same indices k are mapped to the same indices k, but the phase of each source bin spectral line is multiplied by two as indicated by the multiply by two arrows 62. This will result in a second order transposition with a transposition factor of two.
- the target bins extend from 3/2k upwards with respect to frequency.
- the result for the target bins 3/2k and 3/2 (k+2) is again straightforward, since the corresponding spectral lines in the source bins k, k+2, can be taken as they are, and their phases are respectively multiplied by 3 as illustrated by phase multiply arrows 63.
- the target bin 3/2 (k+1) does not have a direct counterpart in the source bins.
- the next target bin is equal to 7, and 7 divided by 1.5 is equal to 4.66.
- a source bin having an index 4.66 does not exist, since only integer source bins do exist. Therefore, an interpolation between the neighboring or adjacent source bins k and k+1 is performed. Since, however, 4.66 is closer to 5 (k+1) than to 4 (k), the phase information of source bin k+1 is multiplied by two as indicated by arrow 62 and the phase information from source bin k (in the example equal to 4) is multiplied by 1 as shown by a phase arrow 61, which represents a phase multiplication by one. This, of course, corresponds to just taking the phase as it is.
- these phases which are obtained by performing the operations symbolized by arrows 61 and 62 are combined, such as added together and, even more preferably, the phase multiplication performed by both arrows together results in a multiplication value of 3, which is required for the third order transposition.
- the phase values for 3/2k+2 and 3/2 (k+2) +1 are calculated.
- the phases are only modified with respect to the source bins and the amplitudes of the source bins are maintained as they are.
- the interpolated values it is preferred to perform an interpolation between the amplitudes of the two adjacent source bins, but other ways of combining these two source bins can also be performed, such as by always taking the higher amplitude from the two adjacent source bins or the lower amplitude of the two adjacent source bins or the geometric mean value or an arithmetic mean value or any other combination of the adjacent source bin amplitudes.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a preferred embodiment in a flowchart for the procedure in Fig. 6.
- a target bin is selected.
- a phase is calculated by multiplying a single phase using a transposition factor if possible. Step 31, therefore, applies for the occurrences, where a 3 -fold phase multiplication can be performed in the third order transposition or where a multiplication by four (arrows 64) in the fourth order transposition is performed.
- arrows 64 a multiplication by four
- the adjacent source bins are at two integers which are enclosing a non-integer number obtained by dividing the target bin to be calculated by the integer transposition factor or the fractional transposition factor in the case of a combined upsampling in Fig. 5.
- the corresponding phase factors are applied to the adjacent source bin phases to calculate the target bin phase.
- the sum of the phase factors applied to the adjacent source bins is equal to the transposition factor as has been illustrated in the medium portion, for example by applying a one-time phase "multiplication" by arrow 61 and a two-time phase multiplication by arrow 62 to obtain a (1+2) phase multiplication corresponding to the transposition factor T equal to 3 for the third order.
- the target bin amplitude is determined preferably by interpolating the source bin amplitudes.
- the target bin amplitudes can be randomly selected depending on source bin amplitudes or an average target bin amplitude of directly calculated target bins.
- an average value or one of the two source bin amplitude values can be prescribed as a medium value for the random process.
- the improved transient response of the transposer is obtained by means of frequency domain oversampling, which is implemented by using DFT kernels of length 1024F and by zero padding the analysis and synthesis windows symmetrically to that length.
- F is the frequency domain oversampling factor.
- Fig. 7a the stylized analysis and synthesis windows are depicted on the top and bottom graph respectively.
- the DFT transform block is of size L
- the pulse will have another position relative to the center and the desired behavior is to move the pulse to T times its position relative to the center of the window. This behavior guarantees that all contributions add up to a single time stretched synthesized pulse.
- Fig. 7b where the pulse moves further out towards the edge of the DFT block.
- the final effect on the audio is the occurrence of a re-echo at a time distance comparable to the scale of the (rather long) transposer windows.
- the beneficial effect of frequency domain oversampling is demonstrated by Fig. 7c.
- the size of the DFT transform is increased to FL where L is the window duration and F> 1.
- the period of the pulse trains is FL and the undesired contributions to the pulse stretch can be cancelled by selecting a sufficiently large value of F.
- the oversampling is only necessary in transient parts of the signal, a transient detection is performed in the encoder and a transient flag is sent to the decoder for each core coder frame to control the amount of oversampling in the decoder.
- the "zero padding" is illustrated as a portion 70 before the first non-zero value of the window and a portion 71 after the last non-zero value of the window.
- the window in Fig. 7c as a new larger window having weighting factors of zero at the beginning and at the end thereof. This would mean that, when this window having a larger length is applied by the analysis window 14a or the synthesis window 17b, a separate step of "zero-padding" is not necessary, since the zero-padding is automatically performed by applying a window having a zero portion in the beginning and a zero portion in the end.
- the windows are not changed, but are always used in the same shape, but, as soon as a transient detection has been successful, zeros are padded before the beginning of the windowed frame or after the end of the window frame or before the beginning and after the end, and this could be considered as a separate step which is separate from windowing, and which is also separate from calculating the transform.
- the value padder is activated to pad preferably zeros, so that the result, i.e., the windowed frame and padded zeros is exactly the same as would be obtained when the window having zero portions 70 and 71 illustrated in Fig. 7c would be applied.
- the detection of a transient event performs a start index control via a start index control line 29 in Fig. 2a.
- the start indices k, and consequently, also the indices 3/2k and 2k are multiplied by the frequency domain oversampling factor.
- this factor is, for example, a factor of 2
- each k in the left portion of Fig. 6 is replaced by 2k.
- the other procedures, however, are performed in the same way as illustrated.
- the transient is signaled for a frame which is used for generating the high frequency enhanced signal, i.e., a so-called SBR frame.
- the first portion would be an SBR frame containing a transient event and the second portion of the input signal would be an SBR frame later in time not containing a transient.
- Each window which has at least a single sample value of this transient frame, therefore would be zero-padded so that when a frame would have the length of one window and when the transient event would be a single sample, this would result in eight windows being transformed using a longer transform with padding values.
- the present invention can also be considered as an apparatus for frequency domain transposition, where an adaptive frequency domain oversampling in a filterbank of combined transposers is performed, which is controlled by a transient detector.
- embodiments of the invention can be implemented in hardware or in software.
- the implementation can be performed using a digital storage medium, for example a floppy disk, a DVD, a CD, a ROM, a PROM, an EPROM, an EEPROM or a FLASH memory, having electronically readable control signals stored thereon, which cooperate (or are capable of cooperating) with a programmable computer system such that the respective method is performed.

- the program code may for example be stored on a machine readable carrier.
- inventions comprise the computer program for performing one of the methods described herein, stored on a machine readable carrier.
- an embodiment of the inventive method is, therefore, a computer program having a program code for performing one of the methods described herein, when the computer program runs on a computer.
