Title:
AUDIO ENCODING APPARATUS, DECODING APPARATUS, METHOD, CIRCUIT AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/048815
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An encoding apparatus (1) comprises: a pitch contour analyzing unit (101) for detecting information; a dynamic time warping unit (102) for generating, based on the detected information, a pitch change ratio (Tw_ratio: FIG. 18) that is the domain of a range (86) including a range (86a) in which the absolute value of the cent of the pitch change ratio is equal to or greater than 42; a first lossless encoding unit (103) for encoding the generated pitch parameter (102x); a time scaling unit (104) for shifting the signal pitch in accordance with the foregoing information; and a second encoder for encoding the shifted signal (104x).
