Abstract

This paper proposes a low power artificial bandwidth extension (ABE) technique that reduces computational complexity by introducing a fast codebook mapping method. We also introduce a weighted classified codebook mapping method for constructing the spectral envelope of the wideband speech signal. Classified codebooks are used to reduce spectrum mapping errors caused by characteristic difference among voiced, unvoiced and onset sound. The weighted distortion measure is also used to handle the spectral sensibility. The performance of the proposed ABE system is evaluated by a spectral distortion (SD), a perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ), informal listening tests and weighted million operations per second (WMOPS) calculations. With the use of fast codebook mapping, the WMOPS complexity of the codebook mapping module is reduced by 45.17%.
