Convention Paper

A Layered Data Model for Information Management In Sound Coding Architectures

Authors: Alexandre, Enrique; Pena, Antonio

AES Convention 116 · Paper 6069 · May 2004

Abstract

This paper presents some ideas for the appropriate management of every
information source present in a generic speech or audio coder. This task
becomes more necessary as coding structures get more complex, and an
appropriate organization and processing of this information is a key point
for an efficient implementation, in terms of complexity and quality. First,
a data structure will be proposed, inspired by classic comprehension
theories, which sorts the information into three different hierarchical
levels. Based on this structure, a global sound encoder block diagram will
be described. This model is based on blackboard models, commonly applied in
speech recognition applications. Finally, it will be shown how an MPEG-2/4
AAC-LC coder can be considered as a particular case of the proposed model.
