摘要
A new audio transform coding technique is proposed that reduces the bitrate requirements of the perceptual transform audio coders by utilizing the stationarity characteristics of the audio signals. The method detects the frames that have significant audible content and codes them in a way similar to conventional perceptual transform coders. However, when successive data frames are found to be similar to those sections, then their audible differences only are coded. An error analysis for the proposed method is presented and results from tests on different types of audio material are listed, indicating that an average of 30% in compression gain (over the conventional perceptual audio coders bitrate) can be achieved, with a small deterioration in the audio quality of the coded signal. The proposed method has the advantage of easy adaptation within the perceptual transform coders architecture and add only small computational overhead to these systems.
