Disclosed is an electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes a storage for storing a plurality of filters trained in a plurality of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) respectively and a processor configured to acquire a first spectrogram corresponding to a damaged audio signal, input the first spectrogram to a CNN corresponding to each frequency band to apply the plurality of filters trained in the plurality of CNNs respectively, acquire a second spectrogram by merging output values of the CNNs to which the plurality of filters are applied, and acquire an audio signal reconstructed based on the second spectrogram.

Electronic device and a controlling method thereof

Provided are a method and an apparatus for determining an encoding mode for improving the quality of a reconstructed audio signal. A method of determining an encoding mode includes determining one from among a plurality of encoding modes including a first encoding mode and a second encoding mode as an initial encoding mode in correspondence to characteristics of an audio signal, and if there is an error in the determination of the initial encoding mode, generating a modified encoding mode by modifying the initial encoding mode to a third encoding mode.

Coding mode determination method and apparatus, audio encoding method and apparatus, and audio decoding method and apparatus

Provided is a method and apparatus for encoding or decoding a signal corresponding to a high frequency band in an audio signal. The method and apparatus for encoding a high frequency band detects and encodes frequency component(s) according to a pre-set criterion from a signal corresponding to a frequency band higher than a pre-set frequency and encodes energy value(s) of a signal to reconstruct band(s) in which the detected frequency component(s) are included. The method and apparatus for decoding a high frequency band decodes the signal by adjusting a signal to reconstruct a band in which important frequency component(s) are included by considering an energy value of the important frequency component(s). Accordingly, even though encoding or decoding is performed using a small number of bits, there is no degradation in sound quality of a signal corresponding to a high frequency band, and thus coding efficiency can be maximized.

Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding high frequency band

The present invention relates to an audio encoding and, more particularly, to a signal classifying method and device, and an audio encoding method and device using the same, which can reduce a delay caused by an encoding mode switching while improving the quality of reconstructed sound. The signal classifying method may comprise the operations of: classifying a current frame into one of a speech signal and a music signal; determining, on the basis of a characteristic parameter obtained from multiple frames, whether a result of the classifying of the current frame includes an error; and correcting the result of the classifying of the current frame in accordance with a result of the determination. By correcting an initial classification result of an audio signal on the basis of a correction parameter, the present invention can determine an optimum coding mode for the characteristic of an audio signal and can prevent frequent coding mode switching between frames.

Signal classifying method and device, and audio encoding method and device using same

A method of enhancing speech quality includes: generating a high-frequency signal by using a low-frequency signal in a time domain; combining the low-frequency signal with the high-frequency signal; transforming the combined signal into a spectrum in a frequency domain; determining a class of a decoded speech signal; predicting an envelope from a low-frequency spectrum obtained in the transforming; and generating a final high-frequency spectrum by applying the predicted envelope to a high-frequency spectrum obtained in the transforming.

Sound quality improving method and device, sound decoding method and device, and multimedia device employing same

An electronic apparatus and a playout delay adjustment method thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a target playout delay estimator configured to estimate an initial target playout delay of a current frame by using network status information of a played packet and estimate a final target playout delay of the current frame by updating the estimated initial target playout delay based on real delay information of an unplayed packet, and an adaptation controller configured to determine an adaptation method for adjusting a playout delay of the current frame based on the final target playout delay.

Playout delay adjustment method and electronic apparatus thereof

Provided is a method and apparatus for encoding/decoding an audio signal. Sections which are not used to output noise components near important spectral components and sub-bands which are not used to output noise components, are determined to be encoded or decoded, so that the efficiency of encoding and decoding an audio signal increases, and sound quality can be improved using less bits.

Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding noise signal

Provided is an audio encoding method. The audio encoding method includes: acquiring envelopes based on a predetermined sub-band for an audio spectrum; quantizing the envelopes based on the predetermined sub-band; and obtaining a difference value between quantized envelopes for adjacent sub-bands and lossless encoding a difference value of a current sub-band by using a difference value of a previous sub-band as a context. Accordingly, the number of bits required to encode envelope information of an audio spectrum may be reduced in a limited bit range, thereby increasing the number of bits required to encode an actual spectral component.
