1996 On improving performance of analysis by synthesis speech coders
abstract
An algorithm for improving the performance of analysis-by-synthesis (A-by-S) speech coders is presented. It is shown that proper modifications of the A-by-S strategies commonly used to determine the excitation parameters can be devised. In particular, a redefinition of the classical objective function based on the weighted mean squared error criterion may allow a better tracking of the speech signal transients as well as a better alignment of the synthetic pitch pulses. The implementation details of the algorithm are discussed and experimental results are presented.

1993 An approach to parameter reoptimization in multipulse-based coders
abstract
An algorithm for LPC parameter optimization in multipulse (MP)-linear-prediction-coding (LPC)-based speech coders is presented. It is shown that by taking the nature of the MP excitation signal into account in the LPC parameter computation, it is possible to improve the effectiveness of the LPC model. This results in a better quality of the reconstructed signal in terms of both objective and subjective criteria. The implementation details of the algorithm are discussed, and experimental results are presented. In particular, a comparison with standard MP LPC techniques is given.>

1992 A novel architecture for VLSI implementation of the 2-D DCT/IDCT
abstract
The implementation of a 8*8 two-dimensional forward/inverse discrete cosine transform (DCT) chip is presented. The structure is highly regular and modular and the DCT computation is carried out using registers and adders only. A fully pipelined structure based on a new approach for serial arithmetic computation allows a high throughput capability (i.e., up to 40 MHz). The chip is fully functional and is being employed in the Alcatel Telettra HDTV (high definition television) codec. Fabricated in 1 eta m double-metal CMOS technology by LSI Logic, the chip uses approximately 57000 transistors which occupy a 218-pad die area of 8.6 mm*8.6 mm (56 pads are used).>

1992 On the effectiveness of parameter reoptimization in multipulse based coders
abstract
An algorithm for LPC (linear predictive coding) parameter optimization in multipulse (MP)-LPC based speech coders is presented. It is shown that, by taking into account the nature of the MP-excitation signal into LPC parameter computation, it is possible to improve the effectiveness of the LPC model. This results in a better quality of the reconstructed signal in terms both of objective and subjective criteria. The implementation details of the algorithm are discussed and experimental results are presented. In particular a comparison with standard MP-LPC techniques is given.>

1990 A new iterative algorithm for minimum-phase signal reconstruction from its autocorrelation
abstract
An iterative algorithm for minimum (maximum) phase signal reconstruction from its autocorrelation is presented. The algorithm is an extension of previous work by Quatieri and Oppenheim (1981). In particular, a good convergence speed is obtained even with no prior information on the first sample value of the signal to be reconstructed. A double time-domain constraint is imposed, and the knowledge of the autocorrelation function in both the time and the frequency domain is exploited. The algorithm shows a good convergence. However, it has two drawbacks: phase unwrapping must be performed at each iteration, and care must be taken in choosing the startup sequence for the iteration initialization.>
