Title:
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SIGNAL SYNTHESIS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3189598
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To provide the signal synthesizing device which synthesizes a signal of high sound quality by converting a band-limited input signal into a wide-band signal having a wide frequency band covering the frequency band that the input signal has.
CONSTITUTION: The device is equipped with an acoustic analyzer 101 which extracts spectrum information by taking a sound analysis of the band limited input signal, a narrow-band data processor 102 which extracts narrow-band spectrum information from learning data, a wide-band data processor 103 which extracts wide-band spectrum information from the learning data, a mapping function estimation unit 104 which estimates a mapping function from the narrow-band spectrum information and wide-band spectrum information, a band widening unit 105 which converts the spectrum information on the input signal into wide-band spectrum information by widening the band with the mapping function, and a signal synthesizer 106 which synthesizes a wide-band signal having a wide frequency band covering the frequency band of the input signal from the band-widened spectrum information.
