Audio decoder, method and computer program using zero input response to obtain smooth transitions

摘要

An audio decoder (100;200;300) for providing a decoded audio information (112;212;312) on the basis of an encoded audio information (110;210;310), the audio decoder comprises a linear-prediction-domain decoder (120;220;320) configured to provide a first decoded audio information (122;222;322; S C (n)) on the basis of an audio frame encoded in a linear prediction domain, a frequency domain decoder (130;230;330) configured to provide a second decoded audio information (132;232;332; S M (n)) on the basis of an audio frame encoded in a frequency domain, and a transition processor (140;240;340).The transition processor is configured to obtain a zero-input-response (150; 256;348) of a linear predictive filtering(148; 254; 346), wherein an initial state (146;252;344) of the linear predictive filtering is defined in dependence on the first decoded audio information and the second decoded audio information. The transition processor is also configured to modify the second decoded audio information (132; 232;332;S M (n)), which is provided on the basis of an audio frame encoded in the frequency domain following an audio frame encoded in the linear prediction domain, in dependence on the zero-input-response, to obtain a smooth transition between the first decoded audio information (S C (n)) and the modified second decoded audio information ( S M ^ n ).
