Abstract

An audio signal processing device comprises a discontinuity detector configured to determine an occurrence of a discontinuity from a sudden increase of an amplitude of decoded audio obtained by decoding the first audio packet which is received correctly after an occurrence of a packet loss, and a discontinuity corrector for correcting the discontinuity of the decoded audio.

Claims (14)

1. An audio signal processing method executed by an audio signal processing device, comprising:

a decoding step of decoding side information transmitted from an encoder, the side information relating to a sudden increase of an amplitude of decoded audio obtained by decoding an audio packet;

a determining step of determining the sudden increase of the amplitude of the decoded audio using the side information decoded by the decoding step; and

a mitigating step of mitigating the sudden increase of the amplitude of the decoded audio when a sudden increase of an amplitude of an audio signal is determined by the determining step, and not mitigating the decoded audio when the sudden increase is not determined by the determining step;

wherein the sudden increase of the amplitude of the audio signal occurs when the amplitude of the decoded audio obtained by decoding the audio packet suddenly increases in response to a first audio packet received correctly after an occurrence of a packet loss, and

wherein mitigating the sudden increase of the amplitude of the decoded audio comprises replacing a line spectral frequency parameter of the decoded audio with an other value.

2. The audio signal processing method according to claim 1 further comprising a detecting step of detecting the packet loss of the audio packet transmitted,

wherein in the mitigating step, when the packet loss is detected by the detecting step, and when the sudden increase of the amplitude of the audio signal is determined by the determining step, the sudden increase of the amplitude of the decoded audio is mitigated.

3. An audio signal processing device comprising:

a side information decoder for decoding side information transmitted from an encoder, the side information relating to a sudden increase of an amplitude of decoded audio obtained by decoding an audio packet;

a determining device for determining the sudden increase of the amplitude of the decoded audio using the side information decoded by the side information decoder; and

a mitigating device for mitigating the sudden increase of the amplitude of the decoded audio when a sudden increase of an amplitude of an audio signal is determined by the determining device, and not mitigating the decoded audio when the sudden increase of the amplitude of the audio signal is not determined by the determining device;

wherein the sudden increase of the amplitude of the audio signal occurs when the amplitude of the decoded audio obtained by decoding the audio packet suddenly increases in response to a first audio packet received correctly after an occurrence of a packet loss; and

wherein mitigation of the sudden increase of the amplitude of the decoded audio comprises replacement, by the mitigation device, of a line spectral frequency parameter of the decoded audio with an other value.
