VARIABLE BIT RATE LPC FILTER QUANTIZING AND INVERSE QUANTIZING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

A device and a method for quantizing a LPC filter in the form of an input vector in a quantization domain, comprises a calculator of a first-stage approximation of the input vector, a subtractor of the first-stage approximation from the input vector to produce a residual vector, a calculator of a weighting function from the first-stage approximation, a warper of the residual vector with the weighting function, and a quantizer of the weighted residual vector to supply a quantized weighted residual vector. A device and a method for inverse quantizing of a LPC filter, comprises means for receiving coded indices representative of a first-stage approximation of a vector representative of the LPC filter in a quantization domain and of a quantized weighted residual version of the vector, a calculator of an inverse weighting function from the first-stage approximation, an inverse quantizer of the quantized weighted residual version of the vector to produce a weighted residual vector, a multiplier of the weighted residual vector by the inverse weighting function to produce a residual vector, and an adder of the first-stage approximation with the residual vector to produce the vector representative of the LPC filter in the quantization domain.
