MPEG-4 audio does not require a single or small set of highly efficient compression schemes but rather a complex toolbox to perform a wide range of operations from low-bit-rate speech coding to ...

Engineers from one of the main players responsible for the development of the MP3 codec, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, have developed a new audio coding technology that aims to ...

Lossy compression schemes can be based on a source model, as in the case of speech compression, or a user or sink model, as is somewhat the case in image compression. In this chapter we look at audio ...

Audio codecs are one of the fundamental building blocks of modern media systems. The first and still most prominent MPEG audio codec is mp3, which first appeared on the market in 1998. Since then, ...
