    • Techniques like Huffman coding can be used to represent digital audio signal components more efficiently using non-uniform length symbols than can be represented by other coding techniques using uniform length symbols Unfortunately, the coding efficiency that can be achieved by Huffman coding depends on the probability density function of the information to be coded and the Huffman coding process itself requires considerable processing and memory resources. A coding process that uses gain-adaptive quantization according to the present invention can realize the advantage of using non-uniform length symbols while overcoming the shortcomings of Huffman coding. In gain-adaptive quantization, the magnitudes of signal components to be encoded are compared to one or more thresholds and placed into classes according to the results of the comparison. The magnitudes of the components placed into one of the classes are modified according to a gain factor that is related to the threshold used to classify the components. Preferably, the gain factor may be expressed as a function of only the threshold value. Gain-adaptive quantization may be used to encode frequency subband signals in split-band audio coding systems. Additional features including cascaded gain-adaptive quantization, intra-frame coding, split-interval and non-overloading quantizers are disclosed.
    • 诸如霍夫曼编码之类的技术可用于使用不均匀的长度符号来更有效地表示数字音频信号分量,而不是使用均匀长度符号的其他编码技术可以表示。遗憾的是,霍夫曼编码可以实现的编码效率取决于概率密度 要编码的信息的功能和霍夫曼编码过程本身需要相当多的处理和存储资源。 使用根据本发明的增益自适应量化的编码处理可以实现在克服霍夫曼编码的缺点的同时使用非均匀长度符号的优点。 在增益自适应量化中,将要编码的信号分量的幅度与一个或多个阈值进行比较,并根据比较结果将其分级。 根据与用于对组件进行分类的阈值相关的增益因子来修改放置到其中一个类中的组件的大小。 优选地,增益因子可以仅表示为阈值的函数。 增益自适应量化可用于对分频音频编码系统中的频率子带信号进行编码。 公开了包括级联增益自适应量化,帧内编码,分割间隔和非重载量化器的附加特征。
