Abstract

Sinusoidal modeling is traditionally one of the most popular techniques for low bitrate audio coding. Usually, the sinusoidal parameters are kept constant within a time segment but the exponentially damped sinusoidal (EDS) model is also an efficient alternative. However, the inclusion of an additional damping parameter calls for a specific quantization scheme. In this paper, we propose an asymptotically optimal entropy-constrained quantization method for amplitude, phase and damping parameters. We show that this scheme is nearly optimal in terms of rate-distortion trade-off. We also show that damping consumes the smallest part of the total entropy of quantization indexes, which suggests that the EDS model is truly efficient for audio coding.
