Abstract

A method comprises determining a first modification weight according to linear spectral frequency (LSF) differences of the current frame and LSF differences of a previous frame of the current frame, when a signal characteristic of the current frame meets a preset modification condition, modifying the linear predictive parameter of the current frame according to the determined first modification weight, and coding the current frame according to the modified linear predictive parameter.

Claims (180)

1. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the device to:

determine whether a signal characteristic of a current frame of an audio signal meets a preset modification condition;

determine a first modification weight according to linear spectral frequency (LSF) differences of the current frame and LSF differences of a previous frame of the audio signal in response to the signal characteristic of the current frame meeting the preset modification condition;

modify a linear predictive parameter of the current frame according to the first modification weight to obtain a modified linear predictive parameter; and

code the current frame according to the modified linear predictive parameter.

2. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein before modifying the linear predictive parameter of the current frame, the instructions further cause the device to perform linear prediction analysis on the audio signal to obtain the linear predictive parameter.

determine a second modification weight in response to the signal characteristic of the current frame not meeting the preset modification condition; and

modify the linear predictive parameter of the current frame according to the second modification weight.

13. The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the device to determine a preset modification weight value as the second modification weight, and wherein the preset modification weight value is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1.
