摘要

In encoding, the number of bits to be assigned to codes corresponding to noise or a pulse sequence obtained according to prediction analysis applied to time series signals included in a predetermined time interval is switched according to whether an index that indicates a level of periodicity and/or stationarity of input time series signals satisfies a condition that indicates high periodicity and/or high stationarity or a condition that indicates low periodicity and/or low stationarity, to acquire the codes corresponding to the noise and the pulse sequence. In decoding, a decoding mode for codes corresponding to noise or a pulse sequence included in codes corresponding to a predetermined time interval is switched according to the same criterion as that described above to decode the codes corresponding to the noise or the pulse sequence to acquire noise or a pulse sequence corresponding to the predetermined time interval.
