چکیده
A low bit rate speech coder based on Gaussian adaptive wavelets is described. This speech coder ameliorates the problem of using two diierent mother wavelets to model voiced and unvoiced sounds as mentioned in. 1 In addition, it has been demonstrated in this paper, that Gaussian adaptive wavelets are better suited to model both voiced and unvoiced sounds as compared to Morlet and Daubechies' wavelets which are used in 1 and, 2 respectively. The bit rate and speech quality of this speech coder is compared with the speech coder based on Morlet wavelet. 1 Experimental results using TIMIT speech database are discussed with examples.

Efficient Block Coding of Images Using Gaussian Mixture Models
An efficient method for block coding of speech was presented by Rao and Subramaniam in [7]. An adaptation of this method for the use in image coding is presented in this paper. The probability density function (PDF) of the image blocks is estimated and modelled as multivariate Gaussian mixtures using the k-means and Expectation-Maximisation (EM) algorithms. This parametric model is incorporated...
متن کاملMultimode Tree Coding of Speech with Perceptual Pre-weighting and Post-weighting
A low delay and low complexity speech coder based on Multimode Tree Coding is proposed. In our Multimode Tree Coder, a simple mode classification method along with frame energy are used to classify the input speech frames into five different modes. Each mode is coded at a suitable bit-rate using a Tree coder with computationally efficient perceptual error pre-weighting and post-weighting filter...
متن کاملHigh performance CELP coder utilizing a novel adaptive forward-backward LPC quantization
A highly e cient algorithm termed adaptive forward-backward vector quantization (AFBVQ) is developed for variable bit rate quantization of linear predictive coding (LPC) coe cients and integrated with the FS1016 Federal Standard Code Excited Linear Predictive (CELP) coder. This results in a high performance low bit rate speech coder called as AFBVQ-CELP which brings in two-fold bit rate reducti...
متن کاملLow Bit-Rate Speech Codec Based on a Long-Term Harmonic Plus Noise Model
The long-term harmonic plus noise model (LT-HNM) for speech shows an interesting data compression, since it exploits the smooth evolution of the time trajectories of the short-term harmonic plus noise model parameters, by applying a discrete cosine model (DCM). In this paper we extend the LT-HNM to a complete low bit-rate speech coder, which is completely based on a long term approach ca. 200 m...
متن کاملDeveloping a Low Bit Rate Speech Coder Based on the Half Rate GSM Standard-'C30
This application report describes the development of a low bit rate speech coder based on the GSM HR (Half Rate) speech coding standard using the Texas Instruments (TI) TMS320C30 digital signal processor (DSP). 1 For storage applications, the delay introduced by the coder is not critical and the bit rate does not need to be constant. It is therefore possible to develop high performance coders w...
