Encoding device and method including encoding of error transform coefficients

摘要

A voice encoding device accurately encodes a spectrum shape of a signal having a strong tonality such as a vowel. The device includes: a sub-band divider which divides a first layer error conversion coefficient to be encoded into M sub-bands so as to generate M sub-band conversion coefficients; a shape vector encoder which performs encoding on each of the M sub-band conversion coefficients so as to obtain M shape encoded information and calculates a target gain of each of the M sub-band conversion coefficients; a gain vector former which forms one gain vector by using M target gains; a gain vector encoder which encodes the gain vector so as to obtain gain encoded information; and a multiplexer which multiplexes the shape encoded information with the gain encoded information.
