Abstract

Provided is a speech/audio encoding apparatus with which it is possible to code a significant frequency domain region with high precision, and to enable high audio quality. A speech/audio encoding apparatus codes a linear prediction coefficient. A significant frequency domain region detection unit identifies a frequency domain region which is aurally significant from the linear prediction coefficient. A frequency domain region repositioning unit repositions the significant frequency domain region which is identified by the significant frequency domain region detection unit. A bit allocation computation unit determines a coding bit allocation on the basis of the significant frequency domain region which is repositioned by the frequency domain region repositioning unit.
