Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a wideband (WB) to super-wideband audio bandwidth extension (BWE) method based on temporal smoothing cepstral coefficients (TSCC). A temporal relationship of audio signals is included into feature extraction in the bandwidth extension frontend to make the temporal evolution of the extended spectra smoother. In the bandwidth extension scheme, a Gammatone auditory filter bank is used to decompose the audio signal, and the energy of each frequency band is long-term smoothed using minima controlled recursive averaging (MCRA) in order to suppress transient components. The resulting 'steady-state' spectrum is processed by frequency weighting, and the temporal smoothing cepstral coefficients are obtained by means of the power-law loudness function and cepstral normalization. The extracted temporal smoothing cepstral coefficients are fed into a Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based Bayesian estimator to estimate the high-frequency (HF) spectral envelope, while the fine structure is restored by spectral translation. Evaluation results show that the temporal smoothing cepstral coefficients exploit the temporal relationship of audio signals and provide higher mutual information between the low- and high-frequency parameters, without increasing the dimension of input vectors in the frontend of bandwidth extension systems. In addition, the proposed bandwidth extension method is applied into the G.729.1 wideband codec and outperforms the Mel frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC)-based method in terms of log spectral distortion (LSD), cosh measure, and differential log spectral distortion. Further, the proposed method improves the smoothness of the reconstructed spectrum over time and also gains a good performance in the subjective listening tests.
