A new sinusoidal modelling approach for parametric speech and audio coding

Abstract

In this paper we propose a new approach based on energy-adaptive matching pursuits to improve sinusoidal modelling for parametric speech and audio coding. To reduce the complexity of the algorithm, an over-complete dictionary composed of complex exponentials is used. An analysis-synthesis windows scheme that avoids overlapping is proposed. For efficient quantization of sinusoidal model parameters, a new algorithm that largely reduces the side information required by the decoder is described. Experimental results show evidence of the advantages of the proposed method to be integrated into multi-pans models for parametric speech/audio coding.
