Abstract

This paper discusses approximation noise shaping to improve the efficiency of the integer modified discrete cosine transform (IntMDCT)-based lossless audio codec. The scheme is applied to rounding operations associated with lifting steps to shape the noise spectrum towards the low frequency bands. In this paper, constraints on the noise shaping filter and a design procedure with the constraints are discussed. Several noise shaping filters are designed and experimental results showing the improvement are presented.
