Abstract

A coding paradigm is proposed which is based solely on the properties of the human auditory system and does not assume any specific source properties. Hence, its performance is equally good for speech, noisy speech, and music signals. The signal decomposition in the proposed paradigm takes advantage of binaural properties of the human auditory system. This also leads to a natural multi-descriptive signal representation
