Method, apparatus and system for multiple-description coding and decoding

摘要

A method, apparatus and system for multiple-description coding (MDC) and multiple-description decoding (MDD) are provided in the present invention. The MDC method comprises the following steps: receiving signals, processing the signal according to the first multiple-description method to generate at least two first description signals, processing at least one of the first description signals through the second multiple-description method to generate at least two second description signals, and coding the second description signal to generate the multiple-description bit stream. The MDD method comprises the following steps: receiving the multiple-description bit stream, decoding the multiple-description bit stream to generate the second description signal, processing the second description signal through the second multiple-description inverse transformation method to generate the first description signal, processing the first description signal through the first multiple-description inverse transformation method to generate the reconstruction signal. This invention simplifies the MDC and MDD, and distributes the voice quality deteriorations to different parts, thus improving user experience.
