Abstract

The present invention includes an encoding and decoding apparatus and method where there is used a transform processing to allow a waveform element of a corresponding block to interfere with waveform elements of blocks adjoining in both directions at the time of inverse transform processing as in the case of, e.g., MDCT, to compose a waveform signal, amplifying processing in encoding and corresponding correction processing in decoding can be carried out without inconsistency between blocks. Thus, occurrence of pre-echo can be prevented by simple configuration by using spectrum transform processing of high encoding efficiency.
