本論文主要為研究MPEG-4 ALS的編碼特性,因為其最佳編碼是不公開的,且它可快速地為每個區塊決定最佳的預測階數,故我們試著猜測最佳編碼的方法。首先,我們實驗了編碼器的特性與暫態訊號對於區塊變換造成的影響,並實驗了編碼熱門音樂與古典音樂時,在區塊選擇上的差異;而量化的部份,我們為了改善量化造成的誤差實作了方法,另一方面則依最佳化理論去尋找最佳的量化位階,來改善編碼效果;最後,我們從數位信號處理的相關書籍中,得知最小平方法(Least Square method)是另一個可以用來求預測係數的方法,故我們實作了最小平方法與Levinson-Durbin比較,並討論此方法對於本系統是否合適。
In this thesis, we study the features of MPEG-4 ALS encoder, the optimal encoder is not public, and it can quickly estimate an optimal order for each blocks, so we try to guess the method of the optimal encoder. First, we test the features of encoder and transients for the choice of block switch level, then experiment the different between pop music and classical music. Furthermore, in order to reduce quantization error, we implement a method, on the other hand, according to the optimization theory, we try to find the best quantization step, to improve the encoding effect. Finally, we found “Least Square method” on digital signal processing books, it can also result the linear prediction coefficients, so we implement it to compare with Levinson-Durbin for residual energy and residual encoded bits, and discuss whether it suits this system.
