Strategies for bit allocation reuse in audio transcoding
Mohamed F. Mansour · 2009
We study the reuse of the bit allocation information in audio transcoding by exploiting the similarity in subband audio coding schemes. We show that important information can be deduced to reduce the encoder complexity even if the two coders employ different psychoacoustic model. We give a case study on MPEG AAC/Dolby AC-3 transcoding. The proposed algorithms can be extended to other audio transcoding schemes.
