Definitions
- the present application is concerned with information signal representation using lapped transforms and in particular the representation of an information signal using a lapped transform representation of the information signal requiring aliasing cancellation such as used, for example, in audio compression techniques.
- Most compression techniques are designed for a specific type of information signal and specific transmission conditions of the compressed data stream such as maximum allowed delay and available transmission bitrate.
- transform based codecs such as AAC tend to outperform linear prediction based time-domain codecs such as ACELP, in case of higher available bitrate and in case of coding music instead of speech.
- the USAC codec seeks to cover a greater variety of application sceneries by unifying different audio coding principles within one codec.
- it would be favorable to further increase the adaptivity to different coding conditions such as varying available transmission bitrate in order to be able to take advantage thereof, so as to achieve, for example, a higher coding efficiency or the like.
- Lapped transform representations of information signals are often used in order to form a pre-state in efficiently coding the information signal in terms of, for example, rate/distortion ratio sense. Examples of such codecs are AAC or TCX or the like. Lapped transform representations may, however, also be used to perform re-sampling by concatenating transform and re-transform with different spectral resolutions. Generally, lapped transform representations causing aliasing at the overlapping portions of the individual retransforms of the transforms of the windowed versions of consecutive time regions of the information signal have an advantage in terms of the lower number of transform coefficient levels to be coded so as to represent the lapped transform representation.
- lapped transforms are "critically sampled”. That is, do not increase the number of coefficients in the lapped transform representation compared to the number of time sample of the information signal.
- An example of a lapped transform representation is an MDCT (Modified Discrete Cosine Transform) or QMF (Quadratur Mirror Filters) filterbank. Accordingly, it is often favorable to use such a lapped transform representations as a pre- state in efficiently coding information signals. However, it would also be favorable to be able to allow the sample rate at which the information signal is represented using the lapped transform representation to change in time so as to be adapted, for example, to the available transmission bitrate or other environmental conditions. Imagine a varying available transmission bitrate.
- the available transmission bitrate falls below some predetermined threshold, for example, it may be favorable to lower the sample rate, and when the available transmission rate raises again it would be favorable to be able to increase the sample rate at which the lapped transform representation represents the information signal.
- some predetermined threshold for example, it may be favorable to lower the sample rate, and when the available transmission rate raises again it would be favorable to be able to increase the sample rate at which the lapped transform representation represents the information signal.
- the overlapping aliasing portions of the retransforms of the lapped transform representation seem to form a bar against such sample rate changes, which bar seems to be overcome only by completely interrupting the lapped transform representation at instances of sample rate changes.
- the inventors of the present invention realized a solution to the above-outlined problem, thereby enabling an efficient use of lapped transform representations involving aliasing and the sample rate variation in concern.
- the preceding and/or succeeding region of the information signal is resampled at the aliasing cancellation portion according to the sample rate change at the border between both regions.
- a combiner is then able to perform the aliasing cancellation at the border between the retransforms for the preceding and succeeding regions as obtained by the resampling at the aliasing cancellation portion.

- Fig. 8 shows a schematic showing the sample rate switching scenarios occurring in the information signal encoder and decoder of Figs. 6a and 6b in accordance with an embodiment.
- Figs, la and lb show, for example, a pair of an encoder and a decoder where the subsequently explained embodiments may be advantageously used.
- Fig. la shows the encoder while
- Fig. lb shows the decoder.
- the information signal encoder 10 of Fig. l a comprises an input 12 at which the information signal enters, a resampler 14 and a core encoder 16, wherein the resampler 14 and the core encoder 16 are serially connected between the input 12 and an output 18 of encoder 10.
- At the output 18 encoder 10 outputs the data stream representing the information signal of input 12.
- lb with reference sign 20 comprises a core decoder 22 and a resampler 24 which are serially connected between an input 26 and an output 28 of decoder 20 in the manner shown in Fig. lb. If the available transmission bitrate for conveying the data stream output at output 18 to the input 26 of decoder 20 is high, it may in terms of coding efficiency be favorable to represent the information signal 12 within the data stream at a high sample rate, thereby covering a wide spectral band of the information signal's spectrum.
- a coding efficiency measure such as a rate/distortion ratio measure may reveal that a coding efficiency is higher if the core encoder 16 compresses the input signal 12 at a higher sample rate when compared to a compression of a lower sample rate version of information signal 12.
- the coding efficiency measure is higher when coding the information signal 12 at a lower sample rate.
- the distortion may be measured in a psycho-acoustically motivated manner, i.e. with taking distortions within perceptually more relevant frequency regions into account more intensively than within perceptually less relevant frequency regions, i.e. frequency regions where the human ear is, for example, less sensitive.
- low frequency regions tend to be more relevant than higher frequency regions, and accordingly lower sample rate coding excludes frequency components of the signal at input 12, lying above the Nyquist frequency from being coded, but on the other hand, the bit rate saving resulting therefrom may, in rate/distortion rate sense, result in this lower sample rate coding to be preferred over higher sample rate coding. Similar discrepancies in the significance of distortions between lower and higher frequency portions also exist in other information signals such as measurement signals or the like.
- resampler 14 is for varying the sample rate at which information signal 12 is sampled.
- encoder 10 is able to achieve an increased coding efficiency despite the external transmission condition changing over time.
- the decoder 20 comprises core decoder 22 which decompresses the data stream, wherein the resampler 24 takes care that the reconstructed information signal output at output 28 has a constant sample rate again.
- Figs. 2a and 2b show possible implementations for core encoder 16 and core decoder 22 assuming that both are of the transform coding type. Accordingly, the core encoder 16 comprises a transformer 30 followed by a compressor 32 and the core decoder shown in Fig. 2b comprises a decompressor 34 followed, in turn, by a retransformer 36.
- Figs. 2a and 2b shall not be interpreted to the extent that no other modules could be present within core encoder 16 and core decoder 22.
- a filter could precede transformer 30 so that the latter would transform the resampled information signal obtained by resampler 14 not directly, but in a pre-filtered form.
- a filter having an inverse transfer function could succeed retransformer 36 so that the retransform signal could be inversely filtered subsequently.
- the compressor 32 would compress the resulting lapped transform representation output by transformer 30, such as by use of lossless coding such as entropy coding including examples like Huffman or arithmetic coding, and the decompressor 34 could do the inverse process, i.e. decompressing, by, for example, entropy decoding such as Huffman or arithmetic decoding to obtain the lapped transform representation which is then fed to retransformer 36.
- lossless coding such as entropy coding including examples like Huffman or arithmetic coding
- the decompressor 34 could do the inverse process, i.e. decompressing, by, for example, entropy decoding such as Huffman or arithmetic decoding to obtain the lapped transform representation which is then fed to retransformer 36.
- entropy decoding such as Huffman or arithmetic decoding
- the transformer 30 could be provided with continuously sampled regions for the individual transformations using a windowed version of the respective regions even across instances of a sampling rate change.
- a possible embodiment for implementing transformer 30 accordingly, is described in the following with respect to Fig. 6.
- the transformer 30 could be provided with a windowed version of a preceding region of the information signal in a current sampling rate, with then feeding transformer 30 by resampler 14 with a next, partially overlapping region of the information signal, the transform of the windowed version of which is then generated by transformer 30. No additional problem occurs since the necessary time aliasing cancellation needs to be done at the retransformer 36 rather than the transformer 30.
- Figs. 3a and 3b show one specific embodiment for realizing resamplers 14 and 24.
- both resamplers are implemented by using a concatenation of analysis filterbanks 38 and 40, respectively, followed by synthesis filterbanks 32 and 44, respectively. As illustrated in Figs.
- analysis and synthesis filterbanks 38 to 44 may be implemented as QMF filterbanks, i.e. MDCT based filterbanks using QMF for splitting the information signal beforehand, and re-joining the signal again.
- the QMF may be implemented similar to the QMF used in the SBR part of MPEG HE-AAC or AAC-ELD meaning a multi-channel modulated filter bank with an overlap of 10 blocks, wherein 10 is just an example.
- a lapped transform representation is generated by the analysis filterbanks 38 and 40, and the re-sampled signal is reconstructed from this lapped transform representation in case of the synthesis filterbanks 42 and 44.
- synthesis filterbank 42 and analysis filterbank 40 may be implemented to operate at varying transform length, wherein however the filterbank or QMF rate, i.e. the rate at which the consecutive transforms are generated by analysis filterbanks 38 and 40, respectively, on the one hand and retransformed by synthesis filterbanks 42 and 44, respectively, on the other hand, is constant and the same for all components 38 to 44. Changing the transform length, however, results in a sampling rate change.
- the pair of analysis filterbank 38 and synthesis filterbank 42 Assume that the analysis filterbank 38 operates using a constant transform length and a constant filterbank or transform rate.
- the lapped transform representation of the input signal output by analysis filterbank 38 comprises for each of consecutive, overlapping regions of the input signal, having constant sample length, a transform of a windowed version of the respective region, the transforms also having a constant length.
- the analysis filterbank 38 would forward to synthesis filterbank 42 a spectrogram of a constant time/frequency resolution.
- the synthesis filterbank' s transform length would change.
- the lapped transform representation or spectrogram output by the analysis filterbank 38 would merely partially be used to feed the retransformations within the synthesis filterbank 42.
- the retransformation of the synthesis filterbank 42 would simply be applied to the lower frequency portion of the consecutive transforms within the spectrogram of analysis filterbank 38.
- the number of samples within the retransforms of the synthesis filterbank 42 would also be lower than compared to the number of samples having been subject, in clusters of the overlapping time portions, to transformations in the filterbank 38, thereby resulting in a lower sampling rate when compared to the original sampling rate of the information signal entering the input of the analysis filterbank 38.
- No problems, would occur as long as the downsampling rate stays the same as it is still no problem for the synthesis filterbank 42 to perform the time aliasing cancellation at the overlap between the consecutive retransforms and the consecutive, overlapping regions of the output signal at the output of filterbank 42.
- the problem occurs whenever a change in the downsampling rate occurs such as the change from a first downsampling rate to a second, greater downsampling rate.
- the transform length used within the retransformation of the synthesis filterbank 42 would be further reduced, thereby resulting in an even lower sampling rate for the respective subsequent regions after the sampling rate change point in time.
- problems occur for the synthesis filterbank 42 as the time aliasing cancellation between the retransform concerning the region immediately preceding the sample rate change point in time and the retransform concerning the region of the resampled signal immediately succeeding the sample rate change point in time, disturbs the time aliasing cancellation between the retransforms in question.
- the synthesis filterbank 44 applies to the spectrogram of constant QMF/transform rate, but of different frequency resolution, i.e. the consecutive transforms forwarded from the analysis filterbank 40 to synthesis filterbank 44 at a constant rate but with a different or time-varying transform length to preserve the lower-frequency portion of the entire transform length of the synthesis filterbank 44 with padding the higher frequency portion of the entire transform length with zeros.
- Figs. 4a and 4b showing a pair of information signal encoder and information signal decoder.
- the core encoder 16 succeeds a resampler embodied as shown in Fig. 3a, i.e. a concatenation of an analysis filterbank 38 and a varying transform length synthesis filterbank 42.
- the synthesis filterbank 42 applies its retransformation onto a subportion of the constant range spectrum, i.e. the transforms of constant length and constant transform rate 46, output by the analysis filterbank 38, of which the subportions have the time-varying length of the transform length of the synthesis filterbank 42.
- the time variation is illustrated by the double-headed arrow 48. While the lower frequency portion 50 resampled by the concatenation of analysis filterbank 38 and synthesis filterbank 42 is encoded by core encoder 16, the remainder, i.e.
- the higher frequency portion 52 making up the remaining frequency portion of spectrum 46 may be subject to a parametric coding of its envelope in parametric envelope coder 54.
- the core data stream 56 is thus accompanied by a parametric coding data stream 58 output by a parametric envelope coder 54.
- the decoder likewise comprises core decoder 22, followed by a resampler implemented as shown in Fig. 3b, i.e. by an analysis filterbank 40 followed by a synthesis filterbank 44, with the analysis filterbank 40 having a time-varying transform length synchronized to the time variation of the transform length of the synthesis filterbank 42 at the encoding side.
- a parametric envelope decoder 60 is provided in order to receive the parametric data stream 58 and derive therefrom a higher frequency portion 52', complementing a lower frequency portion 50 of a varying transform length, namely a length synchronized to the time variation of the transform length used by the synthesis filterbank 42 at the encoding side and synchronized to the variation of the sampling rate output by core decoder 22.
- the analysis filterbank 38 is present anyway so that the formation of the resampler merely necessitates the addition of the synthesis filterbank 42.
- the ratio may be controlled in an efficient way depending on external conditions such as available transmission bandwidth for transmitting the overall data stream or the like.
- the time variation controlled at the encoding side is easy to signalize to the decoding side via respective side information data, for example.
- FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of an information signal reconstructor which would, if used for implementing the synthesis filterbank 42 or the retransformer 36 in Fig. 2b, overcome the problems outlined above and achieve the advantages of exploiting the advantages of such a sample rate change as outlined above.
- the information signal reconstructor shown in Fig. 5 comprises a retransformer 70, a resampler 72 and a combiner 74, which are serially connected in the order of their mentioning between an input 76 and an output 78 of information signal reconstructor 80.
- the information signal reconstructor shown in Fig. 5 is for reconstructing, using aliasing cancellation, an information signal from a lapped transform representation of the information signal entering at input 76. That is, the information signal reconstructor is for outputting at output 78 the information signal at a time-varying sample rate using the lapped transform representation of this information signal as entering input 76.
- the lapped transform representation of the information signal comprises, for each of consecutive, overlapping time regions (or time intervals) of the information signal, a transform of a windowed version of the respective region.
- the information signal reconstructor 80 is configured to reconstruct the information signal at a sample rate which changes at a border 82 between a preceding region 84 and a succeeding region 86 of the information signal 90.
- the lapped transform representation of the information signal entering at input 76 has a constant time/frequency resolution, i.e. a resolution constant in time and frequency. Later-on another scenario is discussed.
- the lapped transform representation could be thought of as shown at 92 in Fig. 5.
- the lapped transform representation comprises a sequence of transforms which are consecutive in time with a certain transform rate At.
- Each transform 94 represents a transform of a windowed version of a respective time region i of the information signal.
- each transform 94 comprises a constant number of transform coefficients, namely N k .
- N k the representation 92 is a spectrogram of the information signal comprising N k spectral components or subbands which may be strictly ordered along a spectral axis k as illustrated in Fig. 5.
- each transform coefficient would be complex valued, i.e. each transform coefficient would have a real and an imaginary part, for example.
- the transform coefficients of the lapped transform representation 92 are not necessarily complex valued, but could also be solely real valued, such as in the case of a pure MDCT.
- the embodiment of Fig. 5 would also be transferable onto other lapped transform representations causing aliasing at the overlapping portions of the time regions, the transforms 94 of which are consecutively arranged within the lapped transform representation 92.
- the retransformer 70 is configured to apply a retransformation on the transforms 94 so as to obtain, for each transform 94, a retransform illustrated by a respective time envelope 96 for consecutive time regions 84 and 86, the time envelope roughly corresponding to the window applied to the afore-mentioned time portions of the information signal in order to yield the sequence of transforms 94.
- a retransform illustrated by a respective time envelope 96 for consecutive time regions 84 and 86
- the retransformer 70 has applied the retransformation onto the full transform 94 associated with that region 84 in the lapped transform representation 92 so that the retransform 96 for region 84 comprises, for example, N k samples or two times N k samples - in any case, as many samples as made up the windowed portion from which the respective transform 94 was obtained - sampling the full temporal length
- the factor a being a factor determining the overlap between the consecutive time regions in units of which the transforms 94 of representation 92 have been generated.
- the information signal reconstructor seeks to change the sample rate of the information signal between time region 84 and time region 86.
- the motivation to do so may stem from an external signal 98. If, for example, the information signal reconstructor 80 is used for implementing the synthesis filterbank 42 of Fig. 3a and Fig. 4a, respectively, the signal 98 may be provided whenever a sample rate change promises a more efficient coding, such as the course of a change in the transmission conditions of the data stream.
- retransformer 70 also applies a retransformation on the transform of the windowed version of the succeeding region 86 so as to obtain the retransform 100 for the succeeding region 86, but this time the retransformer 70 uses a lower transform length for performing the retransformation.
- retransformer 70 performs the retransformation onto the lowest N k ' ⁇ N k of the transform coefficients of the transform for the succeeding region 86 only, i.e. transform coefficients 1 ... N k ', so that the retransform 100 obtained comprises a lower sample rate, i.e. it is sampled with merely N k ' instead of N k (or a corresponding fraction of the latter number).
- the problem occurring between retransforms 96 and 100 is the following.
- the number of samples of the retransform 96 within this aliasing cancellation portion 102 is different from (in this very example, is higher than) the number of samples of retransform 100 within the same aliasing cancellation portion 102.
- resampler 72 is connected between retransformer 70 and combiner 74, the latter one of which is responsible for performing the time aliasing cancellation.
- the resampler 72 is configured to resample, by interpolation, the retransform 96 for the preceding region 84 and/or the retransform 100 for the succeeding region 86 at the aliasing cancellation portion 102 according to the sample rate change at the border 82.
- resampler 72 performs the resampling onto the retransform 96 for the preceding region 84. That is, by interpolation 104, the corresponding portion of the retransform 96 as contained within aliasing cancellation portion 102 would be resampled so as to correspond to the sampling condition or sample positions of retransform 100 within the same aliasing cancellation portion 102.
- the combiner 74 may then simply add co-located samples from the re-sampled version of retransform 96 and the retransform 100 in order to obtain the reconstructed signal 90 within that time interval 102 at the new sample rate.
- time instant 82 has been drawn in Fig. 5 to be in the mid of the overlap between portion 84 and 86 merely for illustration purposes and in accordance with other embodiments same point in time may lie somewhere else between the beginning of portion 86 and the end of portion 84, both inclusively.
- the combiner 74 is then able to perform the aliasing cancellation between the retransforms 96 and 100 for the preceding and succeeding regions 84 and 86, respectively, as obtained by the resampling at the aliasing cancellation portion 102.
- combiner 74 performs an overlap-add process between retransforms 96 and 100 within portion 102, using the resampled version as obtained by resampler 72.
- the overlap-add process yields, along with the windowing for generating the transforms 94, an aliasing free and constantly amplified reconstruction of the information signal 90 at output 78 even across border 82, even though the sample rate of information signal 90 changes at time instant 82 from a higher sample rate to a lower sample rate.
- the ratio of the transform length of the retransformation applied to the transform 94 of the windowed version of the preceding time region 84 to a temporal length of the preceding region 84 differs from a ratio of a transform length of the retransformation applied to the windowed version of the succeeding region 86 to a temporal length of the succeeding region 86 by a factor which corresponds to the sample rate change at border 82 between both regions 84 and 86.
- this ratio change has been initiated illustratively by an external signal 98.
- the temporal length of the preceding and succeeding time regions 84 and 86 have been assumed to be equal to each other and the retransformer 70 was configured to restrict the application of the retransformation on the transform 94 of the windowed version of the succeeding region 86 on a low-frequency portion thereof, such as, for example, up to the N k '-th transform coefficient of the transform. Naturally, such grabbing could have already been taken place with respect to the transform 94 of the windowed version of the preceding region 84, too.
- the sample rate change at the border 82 could have been performed into the other direction, and thus no grabbing may be performed with respect to the succeeding region 86, but merely with respect to the transform 94 of the windowed version of the preceding region 84 instead.
- the mode of operation of the information signal reconstructor of Fig. 5 has been illustratively described for a case where a transform length of the transform 94 of the windowed version of the regions of the information signal and a temporal length of the regions of the information signal are constant, i.e. the lapped transform representation 92 was a spectrogram having a constant time/frequency resolution.
- the information signal reconstructor 80 was exemplarily described to be responsive to a control signal 98.
- the information signal reconstructor 80 of Fig. 5 could be part of resampler 14 ⁇ of Fig. 3a.
- the resampler 14 of Fig. 3a could be composed of a concatenation of a filterbank 38 for providing a lapped transform representation of an information signal, and an inverse filterbank comprising an information signal reconstructor 80 configured to reconstruct, using aliasing cancellation, the information signal from the lapped transform representation of the information signal as described up to now.
- the retransformer 70 of Fig. 5 could accordingly be configured as a QMF synthesis filterbank, with the filterbank 38 being implemented as QMF analysis filterbank, for example.
- an information signal encoder could comprise such a resampler along with a compression stage such as core encoder 16 or the conglomeration core encoder 16 and parametric envelope coder 54.
- the compression stage would be configured to compress the reconstructed information signal.
- such an information signal encoder could further comprise a sample rate controller configured to control the control signal 98 depending on an external information on available transmission bitrate, for example.
- the information signal reconstructor of Fig. 5 could be configured to locate the border 82 by detecting a change in the transform length of the windowed version of the regions of the information signal within the lapped transform representation.
- the information signal reconstructor of Fig. 5 could be configured to locate the border 82 by detecting a change in the transform length of the windowed version of the regions of the information signal within the lapped transform representation.
- retransformer 70 is able to correctly parse the information on the lapped transform representation 92' from the input data stream and accordingly retransformer 70 may adapt a transform length of the re transformation applied on the transform of the windowed version of the consecutive regions of the information signal to the transform length of the consecutive transforms of the lapped transform representation 92'.
- retransformer 70 may use a transform length of N k for the retransformation of the transform 94 of the windowed version of the preceding time region 84, and a transform length of a Nk' for the retransformation of the transform of the windowed version of the succeeding time region 86, thereby obtaining the sample rate discrepancy between retransformations which has already been discussed above and is shown in Fig. 5 in the top middle of this figure. Accordingly, as far as the mode of operation of the information signal reconstructor 80 of Fig. 5 is concerned, this mode of operation coincides with the above description besides the just mentioned difference in adapting the retransformation's transform length to the transform length of the transforms within the lapped transform representation 92'.
- the information signal reconstructor would not have to be responsive to an external control signal 98. Rather, the inbound lapped transform representation 92' could be sufficient in order to inform the information signal reconstructor on the sample rate change points in time.
- the information signal reconstructor 80 operating as just described could be used in order to form the retransformer 36 of Fig. 2b. That is, an information signal decoder could comprise a decompressor 34 configured to reconstruct the lapped transform representation 92' of the information signal from a data stream.
- the reconstruction could, as already described above, involve entropy decoding.
- the time- varying transform length of the transforms 94 could be signaled within the data stream entering decompressor 34 in an appropriate way.
- An information signal reconstructor as shown in Fig. 5 could be used as the reconstructor 36. Same could be configured to reconstruct, using aliasing cancellation, the information signal from the lapped transform representation as provided by decompressor 34.
- the retransformer 70 could, for example, be performed to use an IMDCT in order to perform the retransformations, and the transform 94 could be represented by real valued coefficients rather than complex valued ones.
- an optimal sample rate may depend on the bitrate as has been described above with respect to Fig. 4a and 4b.
- bitrate For lower bitrates, only the lower frequency should, for example, be coded with more accurate coding methods like ACELP or transform coding while the higher frequencies should be coded in a parametric way.
- the full spectrum would, for example, be coded with the accurate methods. This would mean, for example, that those accurate methods should always code signals at an optimal representation.
- the sample rate of those signals should be optimized allowing the transportation of the most relevant signal frequency components according to the Nyquist theorem.
- the sample rate controller 120 shown therein could be configured to control the sample bitrate at which the information signal is fed into core encoder 16 depending on the available transmission bitrate. This corresponds to feeding only a lower- frequency subportion of the analysis filterbank's spectrum into the core encoder 16. The remaining higher-frequency portion could be fed into the parametric envelope coder 54. Time-variance in the sample rate and the transmission bitrate is, respectively, as described above, not a problem.
- Fig. 5 concerns the information signal reconstruction which could be used in order to deal with a time aliasing cancellation problem at the sample rate change time instances.
- some measures also have to be done at interfaces between consecutive modules in the sceneries of Figs. 1 to 4b, where a transformer is to generate a lapped transform representation as then entering the information signal reconstructor of Fig. 5.
- Fig. 6 shows such an embodiment for an information signal transformer.
- the information signal transformer of Fig. 6 comprises an input 105 for receiving an information signal in the form of a sequence of samples, a grabber 106 configured to grab consecutive, overlapping regions of the information signal, a resampler 107 configured to apply a resampling onto at least a subset of the consecutive, overlapping regions so that each of the consecutive, overlapping regions has a constant sample rate, wherein however the constant sample rate varies among the consecutive, overlapping regions, a windower 108 configured to apply a windowing on the consecutive, overlapping regions, and a transformer configured to apply a transformation individually onto the windowed portions so as to obtain a sequence of transforms 94 forming the lapped transform representation 92' which is then output at an output 1 10 of information signal transformer of Fig. 6.
- the windower 108 may use a Hamming windowing or the like.
- the grabber 106 may be configured to perform the grabbing such that the consecutive, overlapping regions of the information signal have equal length in time such as, for example, 20 ms each.
- grabber 106 forwards to resampler 107 a sequence of information signal portions.
- the resampler 107 may be configured to resample, by interpolation, the inbound information signal portions temporally encompassing the predetermined time instant such that the consecutive sample rate changes once from the first sample rate to the second sample rate as illustrated at 1 1 1 in Fig. 6. To make this clearer, Fig.
- resampler 107 may, for example, be configured to resample region 1 14b so as to have the constant sample rate 5ti, wherein however region 1 14c succeeding in time is resampled to have the constant sample rate 5t 2 .
- the resampler 107 resamples, by interpolation, the subpart of the respective regions 1 14b and 1 14c temporally encompassing time instant 1 13, which does not yet have the target sample rate.
- each resampled region has a number of time samples N l i2 corresponding to the respective constant sample rate 5ti j2 .
- Windower 108 may adapt its window or window length to this number of samples for each inbound portion, and the same applies to transformer 109 which may adapt its transform length of its transformation accordingly. That is, in case of the example illustrated at 1 1 1 in Fig.
- the lapped transform representation at output 1 10 has a sequence of transforms, the transform length of which varies, i.e. increases and decreases, in line with, i.e. linear dependent on, the number of samples of the consecutive regions and, in turn, on the constant sample rate at which the respective region has been resampled.
- the resampler 107 may be configured such that same registers the sample rate change between the consecutive regions 1 14a to 114d such that the number of samples which have to be resampled within the respective regions is minimum.
- the resampler 107 may, alternatively, be configured differently.
- the resampler 107 may be configured to prefer upsampling over downsampling or vice versa, i.e. to perform the resampling such that all regions overlapping with time instant 1 13 are either resampled onto the first sample rate ⁇ or onto the second sample rate 5t 2 .
- the information signal transformer of Fig. 6 may be used, for example, in order to implement the transformer 30 of Fig. 2a. In that case, for example, the transformer 109 may be configured to perform an MDCT.
- the transform length of the transformation applied by the transformer 109 may even be greater than the size of regions 1 14c measured in the number of resampled samples. In that case, the areas of the transform length which extend beyond the windowed regions output by windower 108 may be set to zero before applying the transformation onto them by transformer 109.
- Figs. 7a and 7b show possible implementations for the encoders and decoders of Figs, la and lb.
- the resamplers 14 and 24 are embodied as shown in Figs.
- the core encoder and core decoder 16 and 22, respectively are embodied as a codec being able to switch between MDCT-based transform coding on the one hand and CELP coding, such as ACELP coding, on the other hand.
- the MDCT based coding/decoding branches 122 and 124, respectively could be for example a TCX encoder and TCX decoder, respectively.
- an AAC coder/decoder pair could be used.
- For the CELP coding an ACELP encoder 126 could form the other coding branch of the core encoder 16, with an ACELP decoder 128 forming the other decoding branch of core decoder 22.
- the switching between both coding branches could be performed on a frame by frame basis as it is the case in USAC [2] or AMR-WB+ [1] to the standard text of which reference is made- for more details regarding these coding modules.
- the input signal entering at input 12 may have a constant sample rate such as, for example, 32 kHz.
- the signal may be resampled using the QMF analysis and synthesis filterbank pair 38 and 42 in the manner described above, i.e. with a suitable analysis and synthesis ratio regarding the number of bands such as 1.25 or 2.5, leading to an internal time signal entering the core encoder 16 which has a dedicated sample rate of, for example, 25.6 kHz or 12.8 kHz.
- the downsampled signal is thus coded using either one of the coding branches of coding modes such as using an MDCT representation and a classic transform coding scheme in case of coding branch 122, or in time-domain using ACELP, for example, in the coding branch 126.
- the data stream thus formed by the coding branches 126 and 122 of the core encoder 16 is output and transported to the decoding side where same is subject to reconstruction.
- the filterbanks 38 to 44 need to be adapted on a frame by frame basis according to the internal sample rate at which core encoder 16 and core decoder 22 shall operate.
- Fig. 8 shows some possible switching scenarios wherein Fig. 8 merely shows the MDCT coding path of encoder and decoder.
- Fig. 8 shows that the input sample rate which is assumed to be 32 kHz may be downsampled to any of 25.6 kHz, 12.8 kHz or 8 kHz with a further possibility of maintaining the input sample rate.
- the input sample rate which is assumed to be 32 kHz may be downsampled to any of 25.6 kHz, 12.8 kHz or 8 kHz with a further possibility of maintaining the input sample rate.
- the ratios are derivable from Figs. 8 within the grey shaded boxes: 40 subbands in filterbanks 38 and 44, respectively, independent from the chosen internal sample rate, and 40, 32, 16 or 10 subbands in filterbanks 42 and 40, respectively, depending on the chosen internal sample rate.
- the transform length of the MDCT used within the core encoder is adapted to the resulting internal sample rate such that the resulting transform rate or transform pitch interval measured in time is constant or independent from the chosen internal sample rate. It may, for example, be constantly 20 ms resulting in a transform length of 640, 512, 256 and 160, respectively, depending on the chosen internal sample rate.
- the switch or sample rate change may happen instantaneously
- the switching artifacts are minimized or at least reduced.
- filterbanks 38-44 and the MDCT within the core coder are lapped transforms wherein the filterbanks may use a higher overlap of the windowed regions when compared to the MDCT of the core encoder and decoder. For example, a 10-times overlap may apply for the filterbanks, whereas a 2-times overlap may apply for the MDCT 122 and 124.
- the state buffers may be described as an analysis-window buffer for analysis filterbanks and MDCTs, and overlap-add buffers for synthesis filterbanks and IMDCTs.In case of rate switching, those state buffers should be adjusted according to the sample rate switch in the manner having been described above with respect to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.
- Switching up is a process according to which the sample rate increases from preceding time portion 84 to a subsequent or succeeding time portion 86.
- Switching down is a process according to which the sample rate decreased from preceding time region 84 to succeeding time region 86.
- the state buffers such as the state buffer of resampler 72 illustratively shown with reference sign 130 in Fig. 5, or its content needs to be expanded by a factor corresponding to the sample rate change, such as 2.5 in the given example.
- Possible solutions for an expansion without causing additional delay are, for example, a linear interpolation or spline interpolation. That is, resampler 72 may, on the fly, interpolate the samples of the tail of retransform 96 concerning the preceding time region 84, as lying within time interval 102, within state buffer 130.
- the state buffer may, as illustrated in Fig. 5, act as a first-in-first-out buffer.
- a lower frequency such as, for example, from 0 to 6.4 kHz can be generated without any distortions and from a psychoacoustical point of view, those frequencies are the most relevant ones.
- linear or spline interpolation can also be used to decimate the state buffer accordingly without causing additional delay. That is, resampler 72 may decimate the sample rate by interpolation.
- a switch down to sample rates where the decimation factor is large such as switching from 32 kHz (640 samples per 20 ms) to 12.8 kHz (256 samples per 20 ms) where the decimation factor is 2.5, can cause severely disturbing aliasing if the high frequency components are not removed.
- the synthesis filtering may be engaged, where higher frequency components can be removed by "flushing" the filterbank or retransformer.
- retransformer 70 may be configured to prepare the switching- down by not letting all frequency components of the transform 94 of the windowed version of the preceding time region 84 participate in the retransformation. Rather, retransformer 70 may exclude non-relevant high frequency components of the transform 94 from the retransformation by setting them to 0, for example or otherwise reducing their influence onto the retransform such as by gradually attenuating these higher frequency components increasingly.
- the affected high frequency components may be those above frequency component N 1 ⁇ 4 ' . Accordingly, in the resulting information signal, a time region 84 has intentionally been reconstructed at a spectral bandwidth which is lower than the bandwidth which would have been available in the lapped transform representation input at input 76.
- aliasing problems otherwise occurring at the overlap-add process by unintentionally introducing higher frequency portions into the aliasing cancellation process within combiner 74 despite the interpolation 104 are avoided.
- an additional low sample representation can be generated simultaneously to be used in an appropriate state buffer for a switch from a higher sample rate representation. This would ensure that the decimation factor (in case decimation would be needed) is always kept relatively low (i.e. smaller than 2) and therefore no disturbing artifacts, caused from aliasing, will occur. As mentioned before, this would not preserve all frequency components but at least the lower frequencies that are of interest regarding psychoacoustic relevance.
- USAC codec it could be possible to modify the USAC codec in the following way in order to obtain a low delay version of USAC.
- TCX and ACELP coding modes could be allowed.
- AAC modes could be avoided.
- the frame length could be selected to obtain a framing of 20 ms.
- the following system parameters could be selected depending on the operation mode (super-wideband (SWB), wideband (WB), narrowband (NB), full bandwidth (FB)) and on the bitrate.
- SWB super-wideband
- WB wideband
- NB narrowband
- FB full bandwidth
- the sample rate increase could be avoided and replaced by setting the internal sampling rate to be equal to the input sampling rate, i.e. 8 kHz with selecting the frame length accordingly, i.e. to be 160 samples long.
- 16 kHz could be chosen for the wideband operating mode with selecting the frame length of the MDCT for TCX to be 320 samples long instead of 256.
- Fig. 2a and 2b needs not to be used.
- An IIR filter set could alternately be provided to assume responsibility for the resampling functionality from the input sampling rate to the dedicated core sampling frequency.
- the delay of those IIR filters is below 0.5 ms but due to the odd ratio between input and output frequency, the complexity is quite considerable. Assuming an identical delay for all IIR filters, switching between different sampling rates can be enabled.
- the QMF filter bank of the parametric envelope module may participate in co- operating to instantiate the resampling functionality as described above.
- SBR parametric envelope module
- the QMF is already responsible for providing the upsampling functionality when SBR is enabled. This scheme can be used in all other bandwidth modes.
- the following table provides an overview of the necessary QMF configurations.
- Table List of QMF configurations at encoder side (number of analysis bands / number of synthesis bands). Another possible configuration can be obtained by dividing all numbers by a factor of 2.
- the switching between internal sampling rates is enabled by switching the QMF synthesis prototype.
- the inverse operation can be applied. Note that the bandwidth of one QMF band is identical over the entire range of operation points.
