Abstract

A new method for Code Excited Linear Predictive (CELP) coding of speech reduces the computational complexity by removing a convolution operation from a recursive loop used to poll the adaptive code book vectors. In a preferred embodiment, an impulse function of a short term perceptually weighted filter is first convolved with perceptual weighted target speech and the result cross-correlated with each vector in the codebook to produce an error function. The vector having the minimum error function is chosen to represent the particular speech frame being examined.
