Title: Innovations of Vladimir Cuperman
Introduction
Vladimir Cuperman is a notable inventor based in Goleta, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of voice coding technology, holding a total of 11 patents. His work has been influential in enhancing communication technologies.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the LPC-harmonic vocoder with superframe structure. This invention is an enhanced low-bit rate parametric voice coder that groups several frames from an underlying frame-based vocoder, such as MELP, into a superframe structure. Parameters are extracted from the group of underlying frames and quantized into the superframe, allowing the bit rate of the underlying coding to be reduced without increasing distortion. The speech data coded in the superframe structure can be directly synthesized to speech or transcoded to a format for synthesis by an underlying frame-based vocoder. Additionally, the superframe structure includes extra error detection and correction data to minimize distortion caused by communication bit errors.
