Abstract

A noise filling method is provided that includes detecting a frequency band including a part encoded to 0 from a spectrum obtained by decoding a bitstream; generating a noise component for the detected frequency band; and adjusting energy of the frequency band in which the noise component is generated and filled by using energy of the noise component and energy of the frequency band including the part encoded to 0.

Claims (9)

1. A noise filling method comprising:

receiving a bitstream of an encoded audio or speech signal;

decoding the bitstream to obtain spectral coefficients of a plurality of subbands;

selecting, performed by at least one processor, a subband that noise filling is applied to, from among the plurality of subbands, based on information on bit allocation of the subband, the selected subband including a spectrum coefficient quantized to zero;

obtaining a noise gain for the selected subband, based on energy difference between an energy of the selected subband and an energy of decoded spectrum coefficients in the selected subband;

generating a noise component using the noise gain and random noise;

applying the generated noise component to the selected subband; and

generating a reconstructed signal of audio or speech based on the selected subband to which the generated noise component is applied.

2. The noise filling method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting of the subband comprises selecting the subband that noise filling is applied to, by comparing the bit allocation of the subband with a threshold.
