CS-ACELP speech compression system with adaptive pitch prediction filter gain based on a measure of periodicity

摘要

A speech coding system employing an adaptive codebook model of periodicity is augmented with a pitch-predictive filter (PPF). This PPF has a delay equal to the integer component of the pitch-period and a gain which is adaptive based on a measure of periodicity of the speech signal. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, speech processing systems which include a first portion comprising an adaptive codebook and corresponding adaptive codebook amplifier and a second portion comprising a fixed codebook coupled to a pitch filter, are adapted to delay the adaptive codebook gain; determine the pitch filter gain based on the delayed adaptive codebook gain, and amplify samples of a signal in the pitch filter based on said determined pitch filter gain. The adaptive codebook gain is delayed for one subframe. The pitch filter gain equals the delayed. adaptive codebook gain, except when the adaptive codebook gain is either less than 0.2 or greater than 0.8., in which cases the pitch filter gain is set equal to 0.2 or 0.8, respectively.
