Title:
ENCODING DEVICE AND METHOD, DECODING DEVICE AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/027630
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present technology pertains to an encoding device and method, decoding device and method, and program that are able to obtain high-quality audio at a lower code quantity. On the basis of the sub-band signal of a plurality of sub-bands configuring an input signal, a segment-count-determining feature quantity calculation circuit calculates a segment-count-determining feature quantity for determining the number of partitions to partition a segment to be processed into continuous frame segments comprising frames for which the same estimation coefficient has been selected. A quasi-high-range sub-band power difference calculation circuit determines the number of continuous frame segments in the segment to be processed on the basis of the segment-count-determining feature quantity, selects, for each continuous frame segment, an estimation coefficient for determining the high-range portion of the input signal by means of estimation, and generates data containing a coefficient index for obtaining the estimation coefficients. A high-range encoding circuit encodes the obtained data, and generates high-range encoded data. The present technology can be applied to an encoding device.
