1.4 TYPES OF AUDIO CODERS – AN OVERVIEW
Based on the signal model or the analysis-synthesis technique employed to encode audio signals, audio coders can be broadly classified as follows:
- Linear predictive
- Transform
- Subband
- Sinusoidal.
Algorithms are also classified based on the lossy or the lossless nature of audio coding. Lossy audio coding schemes achieve compression by exploiting perceptually irrelevant information. Some examples of lossy audio coding schemes include the ISO/IEC MPEG codec series, the Dolby AC-3, and the DTS CA. In lossless audio coding, the audio data is merely “packed” to obtain a bit-for-bit representation of the original. The meridian lossless packing (MLP) [Gerz99] and the direct stream digital (DSD) techniques [Brue97] [Reef01a] form a class of high-end lossless compression algorithms that are embedded in the DVD-audio [DVD01] and the SACD [SACD02] storage formats, respectively. Lossless audio coding techniques, in general yield high-quality digital audio without any artifacts at high rates. For instance, perceptual audio coding yields compression ratios from 10:1 to 25:1, while lossless audio coding can achieve compression ratios from 2:1 to 4:1.
