Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0516439A2] The computational effort and time for CELP coding of speech is reduced by rearranging the recursive loop used to search vectors of an adaptive codebook so that an impulse function of a short term perceptually weighted filter is first convolved with perceptually weighted target speech and the result cross-correlated with each codebook vector to produce an error function for identifying the optimum adaptive codebook vector. In addition, autocorrelation is initially performed for only a small number of autocorrelation coefficients in each codebook vector and the values found are used to scan through all the vectors to find those giving a better match to input speech. Autocorrelation using all the vector values is then performed on this subset of vectors to identify the best vector for representing the frame of speech. An end correction procedure is used for vectors shorter than the speech frame length to avoid copy-up errors common in the prior art. An improved means and method for obtaining correlation coefficients for the stochastic codebook vectors is also described.. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
