Abstract

A method for speech parameterization and coding of a continuous speech signal. The method comprises dividing said speech signal into a plurality of speech frames, and for each one of the plurality of speech frames, modeling said speech frame by a first harmonic modeling to produce a plurality of harmonic model parameters, reconstructing an estimated frame signal from the plurality of harmonic model parameters, subtracting the estimated frame signal from the speech frame to produce a harmonic model residual, performing at least one second harmonic modeling analysis on the first harmonic model residual to determine at least one set of second harmonic model components, removing the at least one set of second harmonic model components from the first harmonic model residual to produce a harmonically-filtered residual signal, and processing the harmonically-filtered residual signal with analysis by synthesis techniques to produce vectors of codebook indices and corresponding gains.
