The AAC LC object type does not implement the Long Term Predictor (LTP) tool. The Level 2 implies a restriction to a maximum of two channels. Furthermore

36、 in case of SBR being used, the maximum AAC sampling rate is restricted to 24 kHz whereas if SBR is not used the maximum AAC sampling rate is restricted to 48 kHz. The basic layout is depicted below. Figure 1: AAC Encoder Block Diagram 5.2 Stereo Preprocessing With stereo preprocessing, the stereo w

37、idth of difficult to encode signals at low bitrates is reduced. Stereo preprocessing is active for bitrates less than 60kbit/s. The side channel is attenuated with influence of the following parameters: - The total perceptual entropy before the increase of the thresholds. This PE is smoothed over pa

40、mits lpcStartLine and lpcStopLine depend on the bitrate and the blocktype. Next steps are an autocorrelation calculation and a LPC calculation using the Levinson-Durbin algorithm. As result so called parcor or reflection coefficients and the prediction gain are available. TNS will be used only if th

41、e prediction gain is greater than a given threshold, which is bitrate dependent and varies between 1.2 and 1.41. 5.5.1.2 TNS Stereo Synchronization If prediction gains for the left and right channel differ only less than 3%, the same TNS filter coefficients are chosen for both channels by copying th

42、e TNS data of the left channel to the right channel. 5.5.1.3 TNS Order The TNS parcor coefficients will be quantized with a resolution of 4 bits for long blocks and 3 bits for short blocks. The order of the coefficients is now determined by going down from the maximum order until the first coefficie

43、nt that exceeds an absolute value of 0.1 has been reached. 5.5.1.4 TNS Filtering The spectral coefficients will now be replaced by filtering with the parcor coefficients. The first scalefactor band affected corresponds to a frequency of 1275Hz for long blocks resp. 2750Hz for short blocks. The filte

44、ring is done with the help of a so called lattice filter, no conversion from parcor coefficients to linear prediction coefficients is required. 5.5.1.5 Threshold modification In the frequency range from 380Hz to the start frequency of the TNS filter the coding demands will be increased by multiplyin

45、g a factor of 0.25 to the thresholds calculated by the psychoacoustic model. 5.5.2 Mid/Side Stereo Normal stereo operation, and thus Mid/Side Stereo, is only required when operating the encoder at bitrates at or above 44 kbit/s. Below 44 kbit/s the Parametric Stereo coding tool 5 is used instead whe

46、re the AAC core is operated in mono. Within Mid/Side Stereo, for each scalefactor band the left and right channel coefficients are either coded as L and R or as mid and side channel and . For stereo in the psychoacoustic model in addition to the left and right energies also the mid and side energies

47、 are calculated. The threshold for coding mid and side channel is simply the minimum of left and right thresholds . M/S coding is actually used if is fulfilled. In such a case left channel values for spectral coefficients, energies and thresholds will be replaced by the mid channel values, resp. rig

48、ht channel values will be replaced by the side channel values. The spreaded energy for mid and side channel will be the minium of the spreaded energy of left and right channel. rq()X krq()thr n2LRM+=2LRS=,()LRenn,()MSenn,()LRthr n2min( (), () () ()() () () ()LR L RMS LRthr n thr n thr n thr nen n en

Thus a threshold reduction strategy is necessary, i.e. the strategy reduces the requirements by increasing the thresholds given by the psychoacoustic model. An overcoding, i.e. decreasing the thresholds for a finer quantization, doesnt take place in this encoder. In this
