PARCOR coefficient quantization method, PARCOR coefficient quantization apparatus, program and recording medium

摘要

On a criterion to minimize the entropy of the linear prediction residual of the input signal used for calculation of the input PARCOR coefficient sequence, PARCOR coefficients with larger absolute values are quantized with higher quantization precisions so as to reduce the increase of the code amount of the linear prediction residual caused by the quantization error of the PARCOR coefficients. If the PARCOR coefficient is represented by a value formed by a predetermined number of bits, the number of effective bits from the most significant bit toward the least significant bit included in the output value increases with the absolute value of the PARCOR coefficient.

1. A method for quantizing a partial autocorrelation (PARCOR) coefficient, comprising:
quantizing, by a processor, a PARCOR coefficient K, wherein the quantizing is a step of quantizing a PARCOR coefficient having a larger absolute value with a higher quantization precision, the quantizing of the PARCOR coefficient K further comprises:
determining, by the processor, a bit sequence that represents an absolute value L of the PARCOR coefficient K; andobtaining, by the processor, a quantized PARCOR coefficient from a look-up table corresponding to U+V+W bits beginning with a most significant bit in the bit sequence that represents the absolute value L of the PARCOR coefficient K, wherein a value of U bits beginning with the most significant bit in the bit sequence that represents the absolute value L being denoted as W, the PARCOR coefficient K being represented as a value of R bits, the U representing a predetermined integer which is equal to or greater than 1 and smaller than R−(2U−1), and the V representing a predetermined integer equal to or greater than 0 and smaller than R−(2U−1)−U.
