A method and apparatus for the perceptual coding of audio signals in which perceptual noise shaping is achieved in the time domain by performing a (linear) prediction (i.e., filtering) in the frequency domain. As a result, the temporal spread of quantization noise is reduced. Specifically, according to one illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a method comprises decomposition of the audio signal into a plurality of spectral component signals; generating a prediction signal representative of a prediction of one of said spectral component signals, said prediction based on one or more other ones of said spectral component signals; comparing the prediction signal with said one of said spectral component signals to generate a prediction error signal; coding said one of said spectral component signals based on the prediction error signal to generate a coded spectral component signal; and generating the encoded signal based on the coded spectral component signal. |
