Hi all, It good to see 50th order LPC debate is still on.I agree with wthat sameer has said.As far as i know the earlier versions of LD_CELP used to have a 10th order backward LPC analysis and a backward adaptive pitch detector. The main problem with such a configuration is its poor performance under channel noise as its difficult to detect actual pitch in noisy conditions.The inclusion of a LTP makes the system very sensitive to channel errors.Therefore, the LTP was ommited and instead a high oreder LPC driven STP was included.The inclusion of a 50th order backward STP has the following advantages: High order backward LPC analysis is quite robust to channel errors. No side information is needed for higher orders. The algorithm becomes less speech specific by replacing the LTP with high order STP,hence it is cabable of handling non-voice signals. The disadvantages are: A 50th oreder LPC requires a large number of correlation compution , thus resulting in high complexity. regs naveen --- Sameer Kibey <> wrote: > Hi all! > > i haven't worked in G.728, but my understanding is > that the use of 50th order prediction filter in > LD-CELP makes it possible to incorporate the long > term > prediction (pitch info) along with the short term > prediction(formant info) with the same > predictor...(you see, the predictor is taking into > consideration past 50 samples instead of 10 this > time > for the prediction) > > in 10th order LPC analysis, the long term prediction > does not come into picture...it is a separate block. > > please do not ask me for more clarifications this > time! for more details, however one can refer the > topic on LD-CELP given in the book by Kondoz. > > Sameer. > > --- Bhanu Prakash <> wrote: > > > Hi Hari, > > > > What ever you have said may be applicable for > > processing music signals(may be MP3).But G.728 is > a > > speech codec whose inputs are sampled at 8khz .As > a > > matter of fact,all the basic speech codecs expect > > input signals which are sampled at 8KHz.
