SPECTRAL SHAPE ESTIMATION FROM MDCT COEFFICIENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240135936 titled 'SPECTRAL SHAPE ESTIMATION FROM MDCT COEFFICIENTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method, decoder, and program code for controlling a concealment method for a lost audio frame. The method involves decoding two audio frames to obtain modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) coefficients, determining spectral shapes based on the MDCT coefficients, transforming the values of the spectral shapes and frame energies into representations of FFT-based spectral analyses, detecting transient conditions based on the FFT representations, and modifying the concealment method by adjusting the spectrum magnitude of a substitution frame spectrum when a transient condition is detected.

Original Abstract Submitted

a method, decoder, and program code for controlling a concealment method for a lost audio frame is provided. a first audio frame and a second audio frame of the received audio signal are decoded to obtain modified discrete cosine transform (mdct) coefficients. values of a first spectral shape based upon the mdct coefficients decoded from the first audio frame decoded and values of a second spectral shape based upon mdct coefficients decoded from the second audio frame decoded are determined, the spectral shapes each comprising a number of sub-bands. the values of the spectral shapes and frame energies of the first audio frame and second audio frame are transformed into representations of fft based spectral analyses. a transient condition is detected based on the representations of the ffts. responsive to detecting the transient condition, the concealment method is modified by selectively adjusting a spectrum magnitude of a substitution frame spectrum.
