AUDIO CODING METHOD AND APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240296855 titled 'AUDIO CODING METHOD AND APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The audio coding method described in the patent application involves extracting features from an audio signal at different layers, splicing the audio signal with previously extracted features to obtain new features, and coding these features separately to create a bitstream for each layer.
- Feature extraction is performed on the audio signal at the first layer to obtain a signal feature.
- The audio signal is spliced with the signal feature from the previous layer to create a spliced feature at each layer.
- Feature extraction is then performed on the spliced feature at each layer to obtain a signal feature specific to that layer.
- This process is repeated for all layers to obtain signal features at each layer, with a lower data dimension than the original audio signal.
- The signal features at each layer are coded separately to generate a bitstream for each layer of the audio signal.
