ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus (100) for pitch-epoch-synchronous source-filter speech encoding by means of error component modeling methods (310) which capture fundamental orthogonal (uncorrelated) basis elements of an excitation source waveform. A periodic waveform model (318) along with four orthogonal error waveforms, desirably including phase error (319), ensemble error (321), standard deviation error (323), and mean error (324) waveforms, are incorporated together to form a complete description of the excitation. These error waveforms (319,321, 323, 324) represent those portions of the excitation that are not represented by the purely periodic model. By thus orthogonalizing the error components, the perceptual effect of each element is isolated from the composite set, and can thus be encoded separately. In addition to high-quality, fixed-rate operation, the identity-system capability and low complexity of the speech encoding method and apparatus make them applicable to variable-rate applications without changing underlying modeling methods.
