1 Audio-coding standards The goal is to provide CD-quality audio over telecommunications networks. Almost all CD audio coders are based on the so-called psychoacoustic model of the human auditory system. This model allows to remove the parts of the signal that the human cannot perceive. Moreover, the amount of quantization noise that is inaudible can be calculated. Audio coders work in the range from 20Hz to 20 khz. The human auditory system has remarkable detection capability with a range (called dynamic range) of over 120 db from very quiet to very loud sounds. The absolute threshold of hearing characterize the amount of energy in a pure tone such that it can be detected by listener in noiseless environment. T q

The psychoacoustic model takes into account this masking property that occurs whenever the presence of strong audio signal makes a temporal or spectral neighborhood of weaker audio signals imperceptible. The noise detection threshold is a modified version of the absolute threshold with its shape determined by the input signal at any given time. In order to estimate this threshold we have first to understand how the ear performs spectral analysis.

4 Psychoacoustic model It is based on the following observations: The cochlea can be viewed as a bank of highly overlapping bandpass filters. Moreover, the cochlear filters passbands are of non-uniform bandwidth, and the bandwidths increase with increasing frequency. Dependence of resolution on frequency for human auditory system can be expressed in terms of critical-bandwidths. A critical band is a range of frequencies over which the masking SNR remains more or less constant. Critical bandwidths are less than 100 Hz for the lowest audible frequencies and more than 4 khz at the highest. Noise and tone have different masking properties.

6 If B Psychoacoustic model is the critical-band number then: E Tone masking noise: db (14.1) Noise masking tone : db, (14.2) E N E N T E E T N ( 14.5 B) where, E is noise and tone energy, respectively, K is T in the range of 3-6 db. Speech and audio signals are neither pure tones nor pure noise but rather mixture of both. (14.1),(14.2) capture only the contributions of individual tonelike or noise-like maskers. Typically each frame contains a collection of both masker types. These individual masking thresholds are combined to form a global masking threshold. K

7 Psychoacoustic model Inter-band masking means that masker centered within one critical band has some predictable effect on detection thresholds in other critical subbands. This effect is known as spread of masking and is modeled as a spreading function. It appears that loud sounds can mask portions of weaker sounds that follow them and even some that precede them. This is the temporal masking which leads to pre- and postecho. To compensate pre-echo distortions an adaptive block size transform is used.

9 Psychoacoustic model Using short-term spectrum we classify frequency components of each subband as tone or noise For tone-like and noise-like components individual masking thresholds are computed The individual masking thresholds and are combined to form a global threshold and minimum over subband components is computed T q Signal-to-mask ratio for subband is computed Mask-to-noise ratio for subband is computed

11 Generic perceptual audio coder In audio standards the audio stream passes through a filter bank that divides the input into multiple subbands of frequency. This type of transform coding is called subband coding. The input audio stream simultaneously passes through a psychoacoustic model that determines the ratio of the signal energy to the masking threshold for each subband. The quantization and coding block uses the signal-to-mask ratios to decide how to apportion the total number of code bits available for the quantization of the subband signal to minimize the audibility of the quantization noise. Usually scalar uniform quantization of transform coefficients is used. Quantized coefficients are coded by the Huffman code.

12 Overview of audio standards ISO Motion Pictures Experts Group (ISO-MPEG/audio) is one part of three part compression standard that includes video and systems. The original MPEG (sometimes it is referred as MPEG-1) was created for mono sound systems and had three layers, each providing greater compression ratio. MPEG-2 was created to provide stereo and multichannel audio capability. MPEG advanced audio coder (MPEG-AAC) has the same quality as MPEG-2 but at half the bit rate. MPEG-4 audio is a complete toolbox to do everything from low bit rate speech coding to high quality audio coding or music synthesis. Recently HE-AAC and HE-ACC v2 modes of MPEG-4 were developed.

13 MPEG-1 has 3 layers. MPEG-1 Layer I, the simplest provides bit rates above 128 kb/s per channel (compression ratios 3-4). Layer II, has intermediate complexity and provides bit rates around 128 kb/s per channel (compression ratios 5-6). Main applications: storage video on CD-ROM and transmitting of audio information over ISDN channels. Layer III is the most complex and provides bit rates around 64 kb/s per channel (compression ratios 10-12). It is used for low-rate compression systems.

14 Transform The polyphase filter bank is common to Layers I and II. Layer III uses hybrid transform which is based on the modified DCT and filter bank coding. The polyphase filter bank split the audio signal into 32 equalwidth frequency subbands. Each subband is 750 Hz wide. The equal widths of the subbands do not accurately reflect the human auditory system behavior. The filter bank and its inverse are not lossless transforms. Adjacent filter bands have a major frequency overlap.

15 Polyphase filter bank Input frames = 512 Transform coefficients

16 Polyphase filter bank

17 s i Polyphase filter bank The transform coefficients at the output of the represent the filter bank outputs ( n) 511 m0 x( n decimated by factor 32, that is where H i y i ( n) x(n) ( m) s i (32n) ( i h( m)cos 511 m0 m) H i x(32n 1/ ( m) is the input audio stream and 2)( m 32 i m) H 16) th filter i ( m), is the impulse response of the i th filter.

18 Polyphase filter bank All filters are obtained from the one prototype lowpass filter with impulse response h(m) C(m) h( m) C( m),if is a transform window. m / 64 is C( m), otherwise odd, A direct implementation of the above equations requires =16384 multiplications and =16352 additions to compute 32 filter outputs.

19 Polyphase filter bank Taking into account the periodicity of the cosine function we can obtain the equivalent but computationally more efficient representation where s ( n) i C(k) 63 k0 M ( i, k) 7 j0 C( k 64 j) x( n ( k 64 j)), is one of 512 coefficients of the transform window, ( i 1/ 2)( k 16) M ( i, k) cos, 32 i 0,...,31, k 0,...,63, n is an integer multiple of 32. (14.3) Period of M ( i, k) is 128 and h (k) is equal to - C(k) with period 64.

20 Polyphase filter bank Using this formula we perform only =2560 multiplications and =2464 additions. More efficient implementation of filtering can be obtained by reducing (14.3) to the modified cosine transform, which can be implemented using the fast Fourier transform. The Layer III of MPEG-1 besides polyphase filter bank uses the modified cosine transform (or two MDCTs).

21 Modified DCT Input block of length ( M 1) prev. blocks+input block =block of length N ML L Block is component-wise multiplied by analysis window W A (n) The obtained block is multiplied by matrix A of size N L The vector of L transform coeff. is multiplied by T A L Transform coefficients Block is component-wise multiplied by synthesis window W s (n) The output block is shifted by with respect to the prev. block and added to the output sequence L

22 MDCT The transform matrix A of size N L can be written as A Y T, where T of size L L is the matrix of DCT-IV transform with entries t kn cos k n, k n 0,..., L L 2 2 L, 1, The matrix Y describes the preprocessing step Y0, Y1 of size Y L L T Y Y Y Y Y Y, have the form Y 0 0 J I 0, Y I J, I is the identity matrix of size L/ 2 L/ 2 and J is the contra-identity matrix. 1...

23 PAM-I and PAM-II PAM uses a separate, independent, time-to-frequency transform because it needs finer frequency resolution for accurate calculation of masking thresholds. For PAM-I it is 512-point FFT and for PAM-II it is 1024-point FFT. Main steps of computing signal-to-mask ratio: 1. Calculate the sound pressure level for each subband 2. Calculate the absolute threshold T q (i) for i th spectral component of each subband. This threshold is the lower bound on the audibility of sound. 3. Separate spectral components into tonal and noise-like components.

24 PAM-I and PAM-II PAM-I identifies tonal components based on local peaks of the audio power spectrum. Other components PAM-I sums into single nontonal component with frequency index equal to the geometric mean of the enclosing critical subband. PAM-II computes a tonality index as a function of frequency. The tonality index is based on a measure of predictability. This index is used to interpolate between pure tone-masking-noise or noise-masking-tone values. 4. Apply a spread function. 5. Compute the global masking threshold for each spectral component i j 1,..., m, k 1,..., n T g ( i) f ( T ( i), T ( i, j), T ( i, k)), q t n T t ( i, j), T ( i, k) n are thresholds for tone and noise components.

25 PAM-I and PAM-II 6. Find the minimum masking threshold for subband. T min ( n) mint db, where n 1,...,32 and minimum is taken over all spectral components of the n th subband. 7. Calculate the signal-to-mask ratio for each subband g ( i) SMR ( n ) L T min( n ). sb For each subband the mask-to-noise ratio is computed MNR( n) SNR( n) SMR( n), where SNR(n) is determined by the quantizer and tabulated.

26 Stereo coding 1. Intensity stereo (scaled sum of left and right channels) 2. Middle-side (MS) stereo (sum and difference of left and right channels ) 3. Parametric stereo (stereo is synthesized from mono signal by using parameters : inter-channel phase difference, inter-channel correlation and so on. HE-AAC combines Spectral Band Replication (highfrequency part is properly scaled low-frequency part shifted to the high-frequency region) and Parametric stereo
