ENCODING DEVICE AND ENCODING METHOD, DECODING DEVICE AND DECODING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

The present invention relates to an encoding device and an encoding method, a decoding device and a decoding method, and a program that reduce deterioration of sound quality due to encoding of audio signals. An envelope emphasis part (51) emphasizes an envelope (ENV). A noise shaping part (52) divides an emphasized envelope (D) formed by emphasis of the envelope (ENV) by a value larger than 1, and subtracts noise shaping (G) specified by information (NS) from a result of the division. A quantization part (14) sets a result of the subtraction as a quantization bit count (WL), and quantizes a normalized spectrum (S1) formed by normalization of a spectrum (S0) based on the quantization bit count (WL). A multiplexing part (53) multiplexes the information (NS), a quantized spectrum (QS) formed by quantization of the normalized spectrum (S1), and the envelope (ENV). The present invention can be applied to an encoding device encoding audio signals, for example.
