TOWARDS A HYBRID AUDIO CODER

The main features of a novel approach for audio signal encoding are described. The approach combines non-linear transform coding and structured approximation techniques, together with hybrid modeling of the signal class under consideration. Essentially, several different components of the signal are estimated and transform coded using an appropriately chosen orthonormal basis. Different models and estimation procedures are discussed, and numerical results are provided.
