Abstract

The IEEE Standard for Advanced Audio Coding (IEEE 1857.2) is a new standard approved by IEEE in August 2013. The standard comprises both lossy and lossless audio compression tools. This paper presents the lossless audio compression tool, which utilizes a pre-processing procedure for flattening the amplitude envelop of linear prediction residue, and an arithmetic coder that adopts a scaled probability template. The performance of the new IEEE lossless compressor is evaluated and compared with state-of-the-art lossless audio coders. Evaluation results show that the lossless compression performance of the IEEE compressor is about 5% higher than MPEG-4 ALS and 12% higher than FLAC.
