METHOD OF BAND GROUP PARTITION FOR WIDEBAND AUDIO CODEC

摘要

This invention discloses a method of frequency band group partition for wideband audio codec. It can determine the initial frequency band group partition within the whole effective range of frequency bands. It further subdivides frequency band groups based on the initial partition. Instead of the iteration-based algorithm, this invention applies the 1-from-2 and 1-from-3 criterions to accomplish the fast partition with at most 3 subdivisions. This invention implements the fast partition for frequency band group without the loss of the coding efficiency. By applying this fast partition method, one can greatly reduce the computational complexity and significantly improve the coding performance.
