  • Music 422 Project Report
    Music 422 Project Report Jatin Chowdhury, Arda Sahiner, and Abhipray Sahoo October 10, 2020 1 Introduction We present an audio coder that seeks to improve upon traditional coding methods by implementing block switching, spectral band replication, and gain-shape quantization. Block switching improves on coding of transient sounds. Spectral band replication exploits low sensitivity of human hearing towards high frequencies. It fills in any missing coded high frequency content with information from the low frequencies. We chose to do gain-shape quantization in order to explicitly code the energy of each band, preserving the perceptually important spectral envelope more accurately. 2 Implementation 2.1 Block Switching Block switching, as introduced by Edler [1], allows the audio coder to adaptively change the size of the block being coded. Modern audio coders typically encode frequency lines obtained using the Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (MDCT). Using longer blocks for the MDCT allows forbet- ter spectral resolution, while shorter blocks have better time resolution, due to the time-frequency trade-off known as the Fourier uncertainty principle [2]. Due to their poor time resolution, using long MDCT blocks for an audio coder can result in “pre-echo” when the coder encodes transient sounds. Block switching allows the coder to use long MDCT blocks for normal signals being encoded and use shorter blocks for transient parts of the signal. In our coder, we implement the block switching algorithm introduced in [1]. This algorithm consists of four types of block windows: long, short, start, and stop. Long and short block windows are simple sine windows, as defined in [3]: (( ) ) 1 π w[n] = sin n + (1) 2 N where N is the length of the block.

  • (A/V Codecs) REDCODE RAW (.R3D) ARRIRAW
    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.

    21 3. LOSSLESS/LOSSY COMPRESSION Overview of Lossless Compression: It is also known as: • Noiseless coding • Lossless coding • Invertible coding • Entropy coding • Data compaction codes. They can perfectly recover original data (if no storage or transmission bit errors, i.e., noiseless channel). 1. They normally have variable length binary codewords to produce variable numbers of bits per symbol. 2. Only works for digital sources. Properties of Variable rate (length) systems: • They can more efficiently trade off quality/distortion (noise) and rate. • They are generally more complex and costly to build. • They require buffering to match fixed-rate transmission system requirements. • They tend to suffer catastrophic transmission error propagation; in other words, once in error then the error grows quickly. 3. But they can provide produce superior rate/distortion (noise) trade-off. For instance, in image compression we can use more bits for edges, fewer for flat areas. Similarly, more bits can be assigned for plosives, fewer for vowels in speech compression. General idea: Code highly probable symbols into short binary sequences, low probability symbols into long binary sequences, so that average is minimized. Most famous examples: • Morse code: Consider dots and dashes as binary levels “0” and “1”. Assign codeword length inversely proportional to letter relative frequencies. In other words, most frequent letter (message) is assigned the smallest number of bits, whereas the least likely message has the longest codeword, such as “e” and “”z” in English alphabet. Total number of bits per second would much less than if we have used fixed-rate ASCII representation for alphanumerical data. • Huffman code 1952, employed in UNIX compact utility and many standards, known to be optimal under specific constraints.

  • Coding and Compression
    Chapter 3 Multimedia Systems Technology: Co ding and Compression 3.1 Intro duction In multimedia system design, storage and transport of information play a sig- ni cant role. Multimedia information is inherently voluminous and therefore requires very high storage capacity and very high bandwidth transmission capacity.For instance, the storage for a video frame with 640 480 pixel resolution is 7.3728 million bits, if we assume that 24 bits are used to en- co de the luminance and chrominance comp onents of each pixel. Assuming a frame rate of 30 frames p er second, the entire 7.3728 million bits should b e transferred in 33.3 milliseconds, which is equivalent to a bandwidth of 221.184 million bits p er second. That is, the transp ort of such large number of bits of information and in such a short time requires high bandwidth. Thereare two approaches that arepossible - one to develop technologies to provide higher bandwidth of the order of Gigabits per second or more and the other to nd ways and means by which the number of bits to betransferred can be reduced, without compromising the information content. It amounts to saying that we need a transformation of a string of characters in some representation such as ASCI I into a new string e.g., of bits that contains the same information but whose length must b e as small as p ossible; i.e., data compression. Data compression is often referred to as co ding, whereas co ding is a general term encompassing any sp ecial representation of data that achieves a given goal.

  • Experiment 7 IMAGE COMPRESSION I Introduction
    Experiment 7 IMAGE COMPRESSION I Introduction A digital image obtained by sampling and quantizing a continuous tone picture requires an enormous storage. For instance, a 24 bit color image with 512x512 pixels will occupy 768 Kbyte storage on a disk, and a picture twice of this size will not fit in a single floppy disk. To transmit such an image over a 28.8 Kbps modem would take almost 4 minutes. The purpose for image compression is to reduce the amount of data required for representing sampled digital images and therefore reduce the cost for storage and transmission. Image compression plays a key role in many important applications, including image database, image communications, remote sensing (the use of satellite imagery for weather and other earth-resource applications), document and medical imaging, facsimile transmission (FAX), and the control of remotely piloted vehicles in military, space, and hazardous waste control applications. In short, an ever-expanding number of applications depend on the efficient manipulation, storage, and transmission of binary, gray-scale, or color images. An important development in image compression is the establishment of the JPEG standard for compression of color pictures. Using the JPEG method, a 24 bit/pixel color images can be reduced to between 1 to 2 bits/pixel, without obvious visual artifacts. Such reduction makes it possible to store and transmit digital imagery with reasonable cost. It also makes it possible to download a color photograph almost in an instant, making electronic publishing/advertising on the Web a reality. Prior to this event, G3 and G4 standards have been developed for compression of facsimile documents, reducing the time for transmitting one page of text from about 6 minutes to 1 minute.

VQ is an important data compression technique that has been widely applied to speech, image, and video compression. However, the process of the codebook search demands a high computational load. To solve this issue, a novel algorithm that consists of training and encoding procedures is proposed. In the training procedure, a training speech dataset was used to build the squared-error distortion look-up table for each subspace. In the encoding procedure, firstly, an input vector was quickly assigned to a search subspace. Secondly, the candidate code word group was obtained by employing the triangular inequality elimination (TIE) equation. Finally, a partial distortion elimination technique was employed to reduce the number of multiplications. The proposed method reduced the number of searches and computation load significantly, especially when the input vectors were uncorrelated.

  • Algorithms for Fast Vector Quantization∗
    Algorithms for Fast Vector Quantization∗ Sunil Aryay Department of Computer Science The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong David M. Mountz Department of Computer Science and Institute for Advanced Computer Studies University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, USA Abstract Nearest neighbor searching is an important geometric subproblem in vector quanti- zation. Existing studies have shown that the difficulty of solving this problem efficiently grows rapidly with dimension. Indeed, existing approaches on unstructured codebooks in dimension 16 are little better than brute-force search. We show that if one is willing to relax the requirement of finding the true nearest neighbor then dramatic improve- ments in running time are possible, with negligible degradation in the quality of the result. We present an empirical study of three nearest neighbor algorithms on a number of data distributions, and in dimensions varying from 8 to 16. The first algorithm is the standard k-d tree algorithm which has been enhanced to use incremental distance calculation, the second is a further improvement that orders search by the proximity of the k-d cell to the query point, and the third is based on a simple greedy search in a structure called a neighborhood graph. Key words: Nearest neighbor searching, closest-point queries, data compression, vec- tor quantization, k-d trees. 1 Introduction The nearest neighbor problem is to find the point closest to a query point among a set of n points in d-dimensional space. We assume that the distances are measured in the Euclidean metric. Finding the nearest neighbor is a problem of significant importance in many applications.

  • Vq-Wav2vec:Self-Supervised Learningof Discrete Speech Representations
    Published as a conference paper at ICLR 2020 VQ-WAV2VEC:SELF-SUPERVISED LEARNING OF DISCRETE SPEECH REPRESENTATIONS Alexei Baevski∗4 Steffen Schneider∗5y Michael Auli4 4 Facebook AI Research, Menlo Park, CA, USA 5 University of Tubingen,¨ Germany ABSTRACT We propose vq-wav2vec to learn discrete representations of audio segments through a wav2vec-style self-supervised context prediction task. The algorithm uses either a Gumbel-Softmax or online k-means clustering to quantize the dense representations. Discretization enables the direct application of algorithms from the NLP community which require discrete inputs. Experiments show that BERT pre-training achieves a new state of the art on TIMIT phoneme classification and WSJ speech recognition.1 1 INTRODUCTION Learning discrete representations of speech has gathered much recent interest (Versteegh et al., 2016; Dunbar et al., 2019). A popular approach to discover discrete units is via autoencoding (Tjandra et al., 2019; Eloff et al., 2019; Chorowski et al., 2019) sometimes coupled with an autoregressive model (Chung et al., 2019). Another line of research is to learn continuous speech representations in a self-supervised way via predicting context information (Chung & Glass, 2018; van den Oord et al., 2018; Schneider et al., 2019). In this paper, we combine these two lines of research by learning discrete representations of speech via a context prediction task instead of reconstructing the input. This enables us to directly apply well performing NLP algorithms to speech data (Figure 1a).

  • A Novel and Efficient Vector Quantization Based CPRI
    1 A Novel and Efficient Vector Quantization Based CPRI Compression Algorithm Hongbo Si, Boon Loong Ng, Md. Saifur Rahman, and Jianzhong (Charlie) Zhang Abstract The future wireless network, such as Centralized Radio Access Network (C-RAN), will need to deliver data rate about 100 to 1000 times the current 4G technology. For C-RAN based network architecture, there is a pressing need for tremendous enhancement of the effective data rate of the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI). Compression of CPRI data is one of the potential enhancements. In this paper, we introduce a vector quantization based compression algorithm for CPRI links, utilizing Lloyd algorithm. Methods to vectorize the I/Q samples and enhanced initialization of Lloyd algorithm for codebook training are investigated for improved performance. Multi-stage vector quantization and unequally protected multi-group quantization are considered to reduce codebook search complexity and codebook size. Simulation results show that our solution can achieve compression of 4 times for uplink and 4:5 times for downlink, within 2% Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) distortion. Remarkably, vector quantization codebook proves to be quite robust against data modulation mismatch, fading, signal-to- noise ratio (SNR) and Doppler spread. I. INTRODUCTION arXiv:1510.04940v1 [cs.IT] 16 Oct 2015 The amount of wireless IP data traffic is projected to grow by well over 100 times within a decade (from under 3 exabytes in 2010 to more than 500 exabytes by 2020) [1]. To address such wireless data traffic demand, there has been increasing effort to define the 5G network in recent years. It is widely recognized that the 5G network will be required to deliver data rate about The material in this paper was submitted in part to the 2015 IEEE Global Communications Conference (Globecom 2015), San Diego, CA, USA, Dec.

    ¡¢¡¤£¦¥ §©¨ © © "!$#%&!$'(#)+*, Erik Montnémery Johannes Sandvall February 2004 Ogg/Vorbis in embedded systems 3 Abstract Ogg/Vorbis is currently a growing audio format, mainly used for online distribution of music. The number of available encoded audio files is quickly increasing even though MP3 still is the most used format. Many internet radio stations have begun streaming in Ogg/Vorbis and even more are examining the possibilities. In contrast with other renown formats such as AAC and MP3, Ogg/Vorbis is totally license and royalty free. For embedded platforms the licensing and royalty cost for supporting commercial formats can be quite taxing as payments are often per device. The aim of this thesis is to implement an embedded Ogg/Vorbis system under strict memory and CPU usage constraints. As opposed to most other audio for- mats, Ogg/Vorbis includes codebooks and other data structures in the data stream, thus greatly increasing dynamic memory usage. Furthermore, the reference decoder is based on floating point math, albeit a fixed-point implementation also exists. These problems paired with the short time elapsed since Ogg/Vorbis was introduced has had the implications that very few embedded implementations have been done so far. Since a reference fixed-point math decoder exists under a generous BSD-like li- cense the efforts have been concentrated at optimizations of memory and CPU usage of the available code. Data structures and lookup tables have been optimized and the largest CPU consuming block, the IMDCT, has been replaced with a mathematically equivalent FFT that is more than eight times faster.
