Abstract
A perceptually enhanced prioritized bit-plane audio coding algorithm is presented in this paper. According to the energy distribution in different frequency regions, the bit-planes are prioritized with optimized parameters. Based on the statistical modeling of the frequency spectrum, a much more simplified implementation of prioritized bit-plane coding is integrated with the recent release of MPEG-4 scalable lossless (SLS) audio coding structure by replacing the sequential bit-plane coding in the enhancement layer. With zero extra side information, trivial added complexity, and modification to the original SLS structure, extensive experimental results show that the perceptual quality of SLS with noncore and very low core bit-rate is improved significantly in a wide range of bit-rate combinations. Fully scalable audio coding up to lossless with much enhanced perceptual quality is thus achieved.
