Abstract
An improved efficiency perceptual audio codec is presented which analyzes each block of input signal and selects a suitable time/frequency mapping transform for it. The selection is based on statistics of the input signal vis-a-vis energy compaction and resolution power properties of the transforms employed which include the DFT (uniform subbands), DFT (critical subbands), DCT and CELP( for speech only blocks). The performance of the codec is compared with the widely famous MPEG-1 Layer-III algorithm. Efficiency enhancement is indicated by improved grades of subjective listening test for the proposed codec compared to those for MPEG-1 Layer-III at similar bit rates.. The paper concludes with a discussion of future research implications of the work.

Analysis/Synthesis filter bank design based on time domain aliasing cancellation

TL;DR: A single-sideband analysis/synthesis system is proposed which provides perfect reconstruction of a signal from a set of critically sampled analysis signals and allows overlap between adjacent time windows, implying that time domain aliasing is introduced in the analysis; however, thisAliasing is cancelled in the synthesis process, and the system can provide perfect reconstruction.

Estimation of perceptual entropy using noise masking criteria

TL;DR: The perceptual entropy of each short-term section of the audio stimuli is estimated as the number of bits required to encode the short- term spectrum of the signal to the resolution measured by this process.
