Title:
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ENCODING ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012181304
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a method and device for encoding an acoustic signal, which is capable of realizing faithful reproduction of a consonant component by using a sound source reproduced with a limited number of frequencies by utilizing human auditory characteristics.

A digital acoustic signal constituted of time series sample strings is analyzed per unit section to obtain spectral intensity for a plurality of frequencies, and then the frequencies are divided to a plurality of groups by bands, and a frequency having a maximum spectral intensity is searched for within a range from a lower limit pitch to an upper limit pitch with respect to each band (S22), and the spectral intensity for frequencies other than the frequency having the maximum spectral intensity is attenuated (S23). With respect to each band, a result from attenuation of the spectral intensity other than the maximum spectral intensity is used to perform encoding.
