Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a coding/decoding method, apparatus, and system. According to the coding method, de-emphasis processing is performed on a full band signal by using a de-emphasis parameter determined according to a characteristic factor of an input audio signal, and then the full band signal is coded and sent to a decoder, so that the decoder performs corresponding de-emphasis decoding processing on the full band signal according to the characteristic factor of the input audio signal and restores the input audio signal. This resolves a prior-art problem that an audio signal restored by a decoder is apt to have signal distortion, and implements adaptive de-emphasis processing on the full band signal according to the characteristic factor of the audio signal to enhance coding performance, so that the input audio signal restored by the decoder has relatively high fidelity and is closer to an original signal.

Abstract

A method for recovering lost frame in a media bitstream, where when a frame loss event occurs, a decoder obtains a synthesized high frequency band signal of a current lost frame, and recovery information related to the current lost frame, determines a global gain gradient of the current lost frame, and determines a global gain of the current lost frame according to the global gain gradient and a global gain of each frame in previous M frames of the current lost frame. A high frequency band signal of the current lost frame is obtained by adjusting the synthesized high frequency band signal of the current lost frame according to the global gain and a subframe gain of the current lost frame. Hence, the method enables natural and smooth transitions of the high frequency band signal between the frames, and attenuates noises in the high frequency band signal.

A method for predicting a bandwidth extension frequency band signal includes demultiplexing a received bitstream to obtain a frequency domain signal; determining whether a highest frequency bin, to which a bit is allocated, of the frequency domain signal is less than a preset start frequency bin of a bandwidth extension frequency band; predicting an excitation signal of the bandwidth extension frequency band according to the determination; and predicting the bandwidth extension frequency band signal according to the predicted excitation signal of the bandwidth extension frequency band and a frequency envelope of the bandwidth extension frequency band.

Abstract

A transient signal encoding method and device, decoding method and device, and processing system, where the transient signal encoding method includes: obtaining a reference sub-frame where a maximal time envelope having a maximal amplitude value is located from time envelopes of all sub-frames of an input transient signal; adjusting an amplitude value of the time envelope of each sub-frame before the reference sub-frame in such a way that a first difference is greater than a preset first threshold, in which the first difference is a difference between the amplitude value of the time envelope of each sub-frame before the reference sub-frame and the amplitude value of the maximal time envelope; and writing the adjusted time envelope into bitstream.
