Frame error concealment method and apparatus and error concealment scheme construction method and apparatus
Provided are a frame error concealment method and apparatus and an error concealment scheme construction method and apparatus. The frame error concealment method includes generating a new signal by synthesizing a plurality of previous signals that are similar to a signal of an error frame and reconstructing the signal of the error frame using the generated signal.
1. An error concealment method comprising:
selecting, by at least one processing device, one from among a plurality of error concealment schemes including a repetition and smoothing scheme, for a current frame in a signal including at least one of audio and speech, based on error occurrence of a previous frame preceding the current frame and the current frame, and an error concealment scheme used in the previous frame;
concealing, by the at least one processing device, the current frame in a time domain, based on the selected error concealment scheme;
generating a reconstructed audio or speech signal based on the concealed current frame, as an audio or speech output signal.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting comprises:
when both the current frame and the previous frame are erased frames, determining whether the previous frame as one of the erased frames uses the repetition and smoothing scheme; and
selecting one of the repetition and smoothing scheme and a scheme other than the repetition and smoothing scheme, as an error concealment scheme of the current frame as another of the erased frames, in response to the determining.
3. An error concealment apparatus comprising:
a selector, implemented by at least one processing device, configured to select one from among a plurality of error concealment schemes including a repetition and smoothing scheme, for a current frame in a signal including at least one of audio and speech, based on error occurrence of a previous frame preceding the current frame and the current frame, and an error concealment scheme used in a previous erased frame; and
a concealment unit, implemented by at least one processing device, configured to conceal the current frame in a time domain, based on the selected error concealment scheme, and to generate a reconstructed audio or speech signal based on the concealed current frame, as an audio or speech output signal.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein when both the current frame and the previous frame are erased frames, the selector is configured to determine whether the previous frame as one of the erased frame frames uses the repetition and smoothing scheme and to select one of the repetition and smoothing scheme and a scheme other than the repetition and smoothing scheme, as an error concealment scheme of the current frame as another of the erased frames, in response to determining whether the previous frame as the one of the erased frames uses the repetition and smoothing scheme.
