A comparison of warped and conventional linear predictive coding
Aki Härmä, Unto Kalervo Laine · IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing · 2001
Frequency-warped signal processing techniques are attractive to many wideband speech and audio applications since they have a clear connection to the frequency resolution of human hearing. A warped version of linear predictive coding (LPC) is studied. The performance of conventional and warped LPC algorithms are compared in a simulated coding system using listening tests and conventional technical measures. The results indicate that the use of warped techniques is beneficial especially in wideband coding and may result in savings of one bit per sample compared to the conventional algorithm while retaining the same subjective quality.
