Method and Apparatus for Decoding Speech/Audio Bitstream

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to audio decoding technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for decoding a speech/audio bitstream.

BACKGROUND

In a mobile communications service, due to a packet loss and delay variation on a network, it is inevitable to cause a frame loss, resulting in that some speech/audio signals cannot be reconstructed using a decoded parameter and can be reconstructed only using a frame erasure concealment (FEC) technology. However, in a case of a high packet loss rate, if only the FEC technology at a decoder side is used, a speech/audio signal that is output is of relatively poor quality and cannot meet the need of high quality communication.

To better resolve a quality degradation problem caused by a speech/audio frame loss, a redundancy encoding algorithm is generated. At an encoder side, in addition to that a particular bit rate is used to encode information about a current frame, a lower bit rate is used to encode information about another frame than the current frame, and a bitstream at a lower bit rate is used as redundant bitstream information and transmitted to a decoder side together with a bitstream of the information about the current frame. At the decoder side, when the current frame is lost, if a jitter buffer or a received bitstream stores the redundant bitstream information containing the current frame, the current frame can be reconstructed according to the redundant bitstream information in order to improve quality of a speech/audio signal that is reconstructed. The current frame is reconstructed based on the FEC technology only when there is no redundant bitstream information of the current frame.

It can be known from the above that, in the existing redundancy encoding algorithm, redundant bitstream information is obtained by means of encoding using a lower bit rate, and therefore, signal instability may be caused, resulting in that quality of a speech/audio signal that is output is not high.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

To make a person skilled in the art understand the technical solutions in the present application better, the following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The described embodiments are merely some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The following provides respective descriptions in detail.

In the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of the present application, the terms “first” and “second” are intended to distinguish between similar objects but do not necessarily indicate a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that data termed in such a way is interchangeable in proper circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can, for example, be implemented in orders other than the order illustrated or described herein. Moreover, the terms “include”, “contain” and any other variants mean to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a list of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units, but may include other steps or units not expressly listed or inherent to such a process, method, system, product, or device.

A method for decoding a speech/audio bitstream provided in this embodiment of the present application is first introduced. The method for decoding a speech/audio bitstream provided in this embodiment of the present application is executed by a decoder. The decoder may be any apparatus that needs to output speeches, for example, a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, or a personal computer.

FIG. 1 describes a procedure of a method for decoding a speech/audio bitstream according to an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment includes the following steps.

Step 101: Determine whether a current frame is a normal decoding frame or a redundancy decoding frame.

A normal decoding frame means that information about a current frame can be obtained directly from a bitstream of the current frame by means of decoding. A redundancy decoding frame means that information about a current frame cannot be obtained directly from a bitstream of the current frame by means of decoding, but redundant bitstream information of the current frame can be obtained from a bitstream of another frame.

In an embodiment of the present application, when the current frame is a normal decoding frame, the method provided in this embodiment of the present application is executed only when a previous frame of the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame. The previous frame of the current frame and the current frame are two immediately neighboring frames. In another embodiment of the present application, when the current frame is a normal decoding frame, the method provided in this embodiment of the present application is executed only when there is a redundancy decoding frame among a particular quantity of frames before the current frame. The particular quantity may be set as needed, for example, may be set to 2, 3, 4, or 10.

Step 102: If the current frame is a normal decoding frame or a redundancy decoding frame, obtain a decoded parameter of the current frame by means of parsing.

The decoded parameter of the current frame may include at least one of a spectral pair parameter, an adaptive codebook gain (gain_pit), an algebraic codebook, and a bandwidth extension envelope, where the spectral pair parameter may be at least one of a linear spectral pair (LSP) parameter and an immittance spectral pair (ISP) parameter. It may be understood that, in this embodiment of the present application, post-processing may be performed on only any, one parameter of decoded parameters or post-processing may be performed on all decoded parameters. Furthermore, how many parameters are selected and which parameters are selected for post-processing may be selected according to application scenarios and environments, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

When the current frame is a normal decoding frame, information about the current frame can be directly obtained from a bitstream of the current frame by means of decoding in order to obtain the decoded parameter of the current frame. When the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame, the decoded parameter of the current frame can be obtained according to redundant bitstream information of the current frame in a bitstream of another frame by means of parsing.

Step 103: Perform post-processing on the decoded parameter of the current frame to obtain a post-processed decoded parameter of the current frame.

For different decoded parameters, different post-processing may be performed. For example, post-processing performed on a spectral pair parameter may be using a spectral pair parameter of the current frame and a spectral pair parameter of a previous frame of the current frame to perform adaptive weighting to obtain a post-processed spectral pair parameter of the current frame. Post-processing performed on an adaptive codebook gain may be performing adjustment, for example, attenuation, on the adaptive codebook gain.

This embodiment of the present application does not impose limitation on specific post-processing. Furthermore, which type of post-processing is performed may be set as needed or according to application environments and scenarios.

Step 104: Use the post-processed decoded parameter of the current frame to reconstruct a speech/audio signal.

It can be known from the above that, in this embodiment, after obtaining a decoded parameter of a current frame by means of parsing, a decoder side may perform post-processing on the decoded parameter of the current frame and use a post-processed decoded parameter of the current frame to reconstruct a speech/audio signal such that stable quality can be obtained when a decoded signal transitions between a redundancy decoding frame and a normal decoding frame, improving quality of a speech/audio signal that is output.

In an embodiment of the present application, the decoded parameter of the current frame includes a spectral pair parameter of the current frame and the performing post-processing on the decoded parameter of the current frame may include using the spectral pair parameter of the current frame and a spectral pair parameter of a previous frame of the current frame to obtain a post-processed spectral pair parameter of the current frame. Furthermore, adaptive weighting is performed on the spectral pair parameter of the current frame and the spectral pair parameter of the previous frame of the current frame to obtain the post-processed spectral pair parameter of the current frame. Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present application, the following formula may be used to obtain through calculation the post-processed spectral pair parameter of the current frame:

lsp[k]=α*lsp_old[k]+δ*lsp_new[k]0≦k≦M,

In another embodiment of the present application, the following formula may be used to obtain through calculation the post-processed spectral pair parameter of the current frame:

lsp[k]=α*lsp_old[k]+β*lsp_mid[k]+δ*lsp_new[k]0≦k≦M,

where lsp[k] is the post-processed spectral pair parameter of the current frame, lsp_old[k] is the spectral pair parameter of the previous frame, lsp_mid [k] is a middle value of the spectral pair parameter of the current frame, lsp__new[k] is the spectral pair parameter of the current frame, M is an order of spectral pair parameters, α is a weight of the spectral pair parameter of the previous frame, β is a weight of the middle value of the spectral pair parameter of the current frame, and δ is a weight of the spectral pair parameter of the current frame, where α≧0, β≧0, δ≧0, and α+β+δ=1.

Values of α, β, and δ in the foregoing formula may vary according to different application environments and scenarios. For example, when a signal class of the current frame is unvoiced, the previous frame of the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame, and a signal class of the previous frame of the current frame is not unvoiced, the value of α is 0 or is less than a preset threshold (α_TRESH), where a value of α_TRESH may approach 0. When the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame and a signal class of the current frame is not unvoiced, if a signal class of a next frame of the current frame is unvoiced, or a spectral tilt factor of the previous frame of the current frame is less than a preset spectral tilt factor threshold, or a signal class of a next frame of the current frame is unvoiced and a spectral tilt factor of the previous frame of the current frame is less than a preset spectral tilt factor threshold, the value of β is 0 or is less than a preset threshold (β_TRESH), where a value of β_TRESH may approach 0. When the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame and a signal class of the current frame is not unvoiced, if a signal class of a next frame of the current frame is unvoiced, or a spectral tilt factor of the previous frame of the current frame is less than a preset spectral tilt factor threshold, or a signal class of a next frame of the current frame is unvoiced and a spectral tilt factor of the previous frame of the current frame is less than a preset spectral tilt factor threshold, the value of δ is 0 or is less than a preset threshold (δ_TRESH), where a value of δ_TRESH may approach 0.

The spectral tilt factor may be positive or negative, and a smaller spectral tilt factor of a frame indicates a signal class, which is more inclined to be unvoiced, of the frame.

The signal class of the current frame may be unvoiced, voiced, generic, transition, inactive, or the like.

Therefore, for a value of the spectral tilt factor threshold, different values may be set according to different application environments and scenarios, for example, may be set to 0.16, 0.15, 0.165, 0.1, 0.161, or 0.159.

In another embodiment of the present application, the decoded parameter of the current frame may include an adaptive codebook gain of the current frame. When the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame, if the next frame of the current frame is an unvoiced frame, or a next frame of the next frame of the current frame is an unvoiced frame and an algebraic codebook of a current subframe of the current frame is a first quantity of times an algebraic codebook of a previous subframe of the current subframe or an algebraic codebook of the previous frame of the current frame, performing post-processing on the decoded parameter of the current frame may include attenuating an adaptive codebook gain of the current subframe of the current frame. When the current frame or the previous frame of the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame, if the signal class of the current frame is generic and the signal class of the next frame of the current frame is voiced or the signal class of the previous frame of the current frame is generic and the signal class of the current frame is voiced, and an algebraic codebook of one subframe in the current frame is different from an algebraic codebook of a previous subframe of the one subframe by a second quantity of times or an algebraic codebook of one subframe in the current frame is different from an algebraic codebook of the previous frame of the current frame by a second quantity of times, performing post-processing on the decoded parameter of the current frame may include adjusting an adaptive codebook gain of a current subframe of the current frame according to at least one of a ratio of an algebraic codebook of the current subframe of the current frame to an algebraic codebook of a neighboring subframe of the current subframe of the current frame, a ratio of an adaptive codebook gain of the current subframe of the current frame to an adaptive codebook gain of the neighboring subframe of the current subframe of the current frame, and a ratio of the algebraic codebook of the current subframe of the current frame to the algebraic codebook of the previous frame of the current frame.

Values of the first quantity and the second quantity may be set according to specific application environments and scenarios. The values may be integers or may be non-integers, where the values of the first quantity and the second quantity may be the same or may be different. For example, the value of the first quantity may be 2, 2.5, 3, 3.4, or 4 and the value of the second quantity may be 2, 2.6, 3, 3.5, or 4.

For an attenuation factor used when the adaptive codebook gain of the current subframe of the current frame is attenuated, different values may be set according to different application environments and scenarios.

In another embodiment of the present application, the decoded parameter of the current frame includes an algebraic codebook of the current frame. When the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame, if the signal class of the next frame of the current frame is unvoiced, the spectral tilt factor of the previous frame of the current frame is less than the preset spectral tilt factor threshold, and an algebraic codebook of at least one subframe of the current frame is 0, performing post-processing on the decoded parameter of the current frame includes using random noise or a non-zero algebraic codebook of the previous subframe of the current subframe of the current frame as an algebraic codebook of an all-0 subframe of the current frame. For the spectral tilt factor threshold, different values may be set according to different application environments or scenarios, for example, may be set to 0.16, 0.15, 0.165, 0.1, 0.161, or 0.159.

In another embodiment of the present application, the decoded parameter of the current frame includes a bandwidth extension envelope of the current frame. When the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame, the current frame is not an unvoiced frame, and the next frame of the current frame is an unvoiced frame, if the spectral tilt factor of the previous frame of the current frame is less than the preset spectral tilt factor threshold, performing post-processing on the decoded parameter of the current frame may include performing correction on the bandwidth extension envelope of the current frame according to at least one of a bandwidth extension envelope of the previous frame of the current frame and the spectral tilt factor. A correction factor used when correction is performed on the bandwidth extension envelope of the current frame is inversely proportional to the spectral tilt factor of the previous frame of the current frame and is directly proportional to a ratio of the bandwidth extension envelope of the previous frame of the current frame to the bandwidth extension envelope of the current frame. For the spectral tilt factor threshold, different values may be set according to different application environments or scenarios, for example, may be set to 0.16, 0.15, 0.165, 0.1, 0.161, or 0.159.

In another embodiment of the present application, the decoded parameter of the current frame includes a bandwidth extension envelope of the current frame. If the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame, the previous frame of the current frame is a normal decoding frame, the signal class of the current frame is the same as the signal class of the previous frame of the current frame or the current frame is a prediction mode of redundancy decoding, performing post-processing on the decoded parameter of the current frame includes using a bandwidth extension envelope of the previous frame of the current frame to perform adjustment on the bandwidth extension envelope of the current frame. The prediction mode of redundancy decoding indicates that, when redundant bitstream information is encoded, more bits are used to encode an adaptive codebook gain part and fewer bits are used to encode an algebraic codebook part or the algebraic codebook part may be even not encoded.

It can be known from the above that, in an embodiment of the present application, at transition between an unvoiced frame and a non-unvoiced frame (when the current frame is an unvoiced frame and a redundancy decoding frame, the previous frame or next frame of the current frame is a non-unvoiced frame and a normal decoding frame, or the current frame is a non-unvoiced frame and a normal decoding frame and the previous frame or next frame of the current frame is an unvoiced frame and a redundancy decoding frame), post-processing may be performed on the decoded parameter of the current frame in order to eliminate a click phenomenon at the inter-frame transition between the unvoiced frame and the non-unvoiced frame, improving quality of a speech/audio signal that is output. In another embodiment of the present application, at transition between a generic frame and a voiced frame (when the current frame is a generic frame and a redundancy decoding frame, the previous frame or next frame of the current frame is a voiced frame and a normal decoding frame, or the current frame is a voiced frame and a normal decoding frame and the previous frame or next frame of the current frame is a generic frame and a redundancy decoding frame), post-processing may be performed on the decoded parameter of the current frame in order to rectify an energy instability phenomenon at the transition between the generic frame and the voiced frame, improving quality of a speech/audio signal that is output. In another embodiment of the present application, when the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame, the current frame is not an unvoiced frame, and the next frame of the current frame is an unvoiced frame, adjustment may be performed on a bandwidth extension envelope of the current frame in order to rectify an energy instability phenomenon in time-domain bandwidth extension, improving quality of a speech/audio signal that is output.

FIG. 2 describes a procedure of a method for decoding a speech/audio bitstream according to another embodiment of the present application. This embodiment includes the following steps.

Step 201: Determine whether a current frame is a normal decoding frame. If the current frame is a normal decoding frame, perform step 204, and if the current frame is not a normal decoding frame, perform step 202.

Furthermore, whether the current frame is a normal decoding frame may be determined based on a jitter buffer management (JBM) algorithm.

Step 202: Determine whether redundant bitstream information of the current frame exists. If redundant bitstream information of the current frame exists, perform step 204, and if redundant bitstream information of the current frame doesn't exist, perform step 203.

If redundant bitstream information of the current frame exists, the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame. Furthermore, whether redundant bitstream information of the current frame exists may be determined from a jitter buffer or a received bitstream.

Step 203: Reconstruct a speech/audio signal of the current frame based on an FEC technology and end the procedure.

Step 204: Obtain a decoded parameter of the current frame by means of parsing.

When the current frame is a normal decoding frame, information about the current frame can be directly obtained from a bitstream of the current frame by means of decoding in order to obtain the decoded parameter of the current frame. When the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame, the decoded parameter of the current frame can be obtained according to the redundant bitstream information of the current frame by means of parsing.

Step 205: Perform post-processing on the decoded parameter of the current frame to obtain a post-processed decoded parameter of the current frame.

Step 206: Use the post-processed decoded parameter of the current frame to reconstruct a speech/audio signal.

Steps 204 to 206 may be performed by referring to steps 102 to 104, and details are not described herein again.

In this embodiment of the present application, the decoded parameter of the current frame obtained by parsing by a decoder may include at least one of a spectral pair parameter of the current frame, an adaptive codebook gain of the current frame, an algebraic codebook of the current frame, and a bandwidth extension envelope of the current frame. It may be understood that, even if the decoder obtains at least two of the decoded parameters by means of parsing, the decoder may still perform post-processing on only one of the at least two decoded parameters. Therefore, how many decoded parameters and which decoded parameters the decoder further performs post-processing on may be set according to application environments and scenarios.

The following describes a decoder for decoding a speech/audio bitstream according to an embodiment of the present application. The decoder may be any apparatus that needs to output speeches, for example, a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, or a personal computer.

The decoded parameter of the current frame may include at least one of a spectral pair parameter, an adaptive codebook gain (gain pit), an algebraic codebook, and a bandwidth extension envelope, where the spectral pair parameter may be at least one of an LSP parameter and an ISP parameter. It may be understood that, in this embodiment of the present application, post-processing may be performed on only any, one parameter of decoded parameters or post-processing may be performed on all decoded parameters. Furthermore, how many parameters are selected and which parameters are selected for post-processing may be selected according to application scenarios and environments, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

A value of the second quantity may be set according to specific application environments and scenarios. The value may be an integer or may be a non-integer. For example, the value of the second quantity may be 2, 2.6, 3, 3.5, or 4.

In another embodiment of the present application, the post-processing unit 303 is further configured to use random noise or a non-zero algebraic codebook of the previous subframe of the current subframe of the current frame as an algebraic codebook of an all-0 subframe of the current frame when the decoded parameter of the current frame includes an algebraic codebook of the current frame, the current frame is a redundancy decoding frame, the signal class of the next frame of the current frame is unvoiced, the spectral tilt factor of the previous frame of the current frame is less than the preset spectral tilt factor threshold, and an algebraic codebook of at least one subframe of the current frame is 0.
