Title:
ENCODER AND DECODER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3519859
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain coded and decoded signals without the power loss of an original signal, by providing a bit assigning means and a quantization means, etc., quantizing plural partial band signals generated by a band dividing means based on bit assigning information generated by this assigning means.
SOLUTION: A band dividing part 1 divides an input signal into plural partial bands and outputs a partial band signal. An acoustic sense model part 3 spectrum-analyzes the input signal, furthermore analyzes it based on human acoustic sense characteristic and calculates an evaluation function for executing optimum bit-assigning by a bit assigning part 4 in consideration of a maximum value from a maximum value detection part 2. The part 4 decides optimum bit assignment for each partial band based on this evaluation function. A quantization part 5 normalizes the partial band signal in each partial band from the part 1 by the maximum value from the part 2 for improving quantization efficiency and quantizes and encodes it according to bit assignment from the part 4.
