Periodic-combined-envelope-sequence generation device, periodic-combined-envelope-sequence generation method, periodic-combined-envelope-sequence generation program and recording medium
View Patent ↗An envelope sequence is provided that can improve approximation accuracy near peaks caused by the pitch period of an audio signal. A periodic-combined-envelope-sequence generation device according to the present invention takes, as an input audio signal, a time-domain audio digital signal in each frame, which is a predetermined time segment, and generates a periodic combined envelope sequence as an envelope sequence. The periodic-combined-envelope-sequence generation device according to the present invention comprises at least a spectral-envelope-sequence calculating part and a periodic-combined-envelope generating part. The spectral-envelope-sequence calculating part calculates a spectral envelope sequence of the input audio signal on the basis of time-domain linear prediction of the input audio signal. The periodic-combined-envelope generating part transforms an amplitude spectral envelope sequence to a periodic combined envelope sequence on the basis of a periodic component of the input audio signal in the frequency domain.
