Abstract

An autocorrelation calculating part calculates autocorrelation R o (i) from an input signal. A predictive coefficient calculating part performs linear predictive analysis using modified autocorrelation R′ o (i) obtained by multiplying the autocorrelation R o (i) by a coefficient w o (i). Here, a case is comprised where, for at least part of each order i, the coefficient w o (i) corresponding to each order i monotonically decreases as a value having positive correlation with a pitch gain in an input signal of a current frame or a past frame increases.

Claims (10)

1. A linear predictive analysis method for obtaining a coefficient which can be converted into a linear predictive coefficient corresponding to an input time series signal for each frame which is a predetermined time interval, the linear predictive analysis method comprising:

an autocorrelation calculating step of calculating autocorrelation R o (i) between an input time series signal X o (n) of a current frame and an input time series signal X o (n−i) i sample before the input time series signal X 0 (n) or an input time series signal X o (n+i) sample after the input time series signal X o (n) for each of at least i=0, 1, . . . , P max ; and

a predictive coefficient calculating step of obtaining a coefficient which can be converted into linear predictive coefficients from the first-order to the P max -order using modified autocorrelation R′ o (i) obtained by multiplying the autocorrelation R o (i) by a coefficient w o (i) for each corresponding i,

wherein a case is comprised where, for at least part of each order i, the coefficient w o (i) corresponding to each order i monotonically decreases as a value having positive correlation with intensity of periodicity of an input time series signal of the current frame or a past frame or a pitch gain based on the input time series signal increases.

2. A linear predictive analysis apparatus which obtains a coefficient which can be converted into a linear predictive coefficient corresponding to an input time series signal for each frame which is a predetermined time interval, the linear predictive analysis apparatus comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

calculate autocorrelation R o (i) between an input time series signal X o (n) of a current frame and an input time series signal X o (n−i) i sample before the input time series signal X o (n) or an input time series signal X o (n+i) i sample after the input time series signal X o (n) for each of at least i=0, 1, . . . , P max ; and

obtain a coefficient which can be converted into linear predictive coefficients from the first-order to the P max -order using modified autocorrelation R′ o (i) obtained by multiplying the autocorrelation R o (i) by a coefficient w o (i) for each corresponding i,

wherein a case will be comprised where, for at least part of each order i, the coefficient w o (i) corresponding to the each order i monotonically decreases as a value having positive correlation with intensity of periodicity of an input time series signal of the current frame or a past frame or a pitch gain based on the input time series signal increases.

3. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium in which a program causing a computer to execute each step of the linear predictive analysis method according to claim 1 is recorded.
