ENCODING DEVICE, DECODING DEVICE, AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Provided is an encoding device which divides an input signal into a low-range component and a high-range component and encodes the components in separate encoding units. The encoding device can improve quality of a decoded signal. The encoding device (101) includes: a band division process unit (201) which subjects an input signal to a band division process so as to obtain a lower intermediate-range component lower than a first frequency and a high-range component higher than the first frequency; a low-range encoding unit (202) which suppresses a portion of the lower intermediate-range component higher than a second frequency so as to obtain a low-range component and encodes the low-range component so as to obtain low-range encoded information; an intermediate-range correction unit (203) corrects the intermediate-range component higher than the second frequency among the suppressed lower intermediate-range component so as to obtain a corrected intermediate-range component; an intermediate high-range encoding unit (204) which encodes the corrected intermediate-range component and the high-range component so as to obtain intermediate high-range encoded information; and a multiplexing unit (205) which multiplexes the low-range encoded information and the intermediate high-range encoded information so as to obtain encoded information.
