Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2346031A1] A method for optimization of rate-distortion for Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). The method provides for the identification of quantized spectral coefficient sequences for optimization of rate-distortion. The method also provides joint optimization of scale factors, Huffman codebooks and quantized spectral coefficient sequences for minimization of a rate-distortion cost. The method provides an iterative rate-distortion optimization algorithm for AAC encoding. In each iteration, the method first finds the optimal scale factors and quantized spectral coefficients when Huffman codebooks are fixed, then updates Huffman codebooks and quantized spectral coefficients given the optimized scale factors. The iterations may be applied until a predetermined threshold is attained.
