MPEG-4 Scalable to Lossless Audio Coding

چکیده
As the latest extension of MPEG-4 Audio coding, MPEG-4 Lossless Audio Coding includes a scalable audio coding solution (SLS) that integrates the functionalities of lossless audio coding, perceptual audio coding, and fine granular scalable audio coding into a single coder framework while providing backward compatibility to MPEG Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) at the bit-stream level. Despite its abundant functionalities, SLS still achieves a compression performance that is comparable to state-of-the-art non-scalable lossless audio coding algorithms. As a result, SLS provides a universal digital audio format for a variety of application domains including professional audio, Internet music, consumer electronics, broadcasting and others. This paper presents the structure of SLS and its latest developments during the MPEG standardization process.

MPEG-4 SLS – Lossless and Near-Lossless Audio Coding Based on MPEG-4 AAC
MPEG-4 Scalable Lossless Coding (SLS) is one of the latest extensions to the MPEG-4 audio coding standard. It provides a scalable lossless extension of the well-known MPEG4 AAC codec. The lossless enhancement is performed in a finegrain scalable way, starting from the AAC core signal in small steps all the way up to a numerically lossless representation, thus also including near-lossless compre...

This paper presents a scalable lossless enhancement of MPEG-4 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). Scalability is achieved in the frequency domain using the Integer Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (IntMDCT), which is an integer approximation of the MDCT providing perfect reconstruction. With this transform, and only minor extension of the bitstream syntax, the MPEG-4 AAC Scalable codec can be extend...

This paper presents Advanced Audio Zip (AAZ), an audio codec that provides the fine granular bit-rate scalability from lossy to lossless coding. Perceptually embedded coding principle is employed in AAZ to provide lossy reconstruction with optimal perceptual quality at intermediate bit-rates. AAZ also provides the backward compatibility where the lossless bit-stream embeds a compliant MPEG-4 AA...

Lossless coding will become the latest extension of the MPEG-4 audio standard. The lossless audio codec of the Technical University of Berlin was chosen as reference model for MPEG-4 Audio Lossless Coding (ALS). The MPEG-4 ALS encoder is based on linear prediction, which enables high compression even with moderate complexity, while the corresponding decoder is straightforward. The paper describ...
