ABSTRACT:
An encoding system employing a novel perceptual spectrum difference estimation device improves the coding efficiency and audio quality of a digitized audio signal. The system comprises M number of encoding means arranged in parallel for encoding the input digital audio signal of a current frame, respectively; M number of decoding means arranged in parallel for decoding each of the encoded digital audio signals; a first estimator for estimating a power density spectrum for a difference signal between the input digital audio signal and each of the decoded digital audio signals; a second estimator for estimating a power density spectrum for the input digital audio signal of the current frame and for determining a masking threshold therefor based on the power density spectrum for the input digital audio signal; a third estimator for estimating a set of perceptual spectrum distances based on the power density spectrum for each of the difference signals and the masking threshold; and a circuit for selecting an encoded digital audio signal having a smallest perceptual spectrum distance.
