3 Outline MP3 Audio Encoding MP4 Audio Reading: Media Coding book, Section Recommended Paper on MP3: Davis Pan, A Tutorial on MPEG/Audio Compression, IEEE Multimedia, pp. 6-74, 1995 Recommended books on JPEG/ MPEG Audio/Video Fundamentals: Haskell, Puri, Netravali, Digital Video: An Introduction to MPEG-2, Chapman and Hall, 1996
4 Why Compression is Needed Data rate = sampling rate * quantization bits * channels (+ control information) For example (digital audio): Hz; 16 bits; 2 channels generates about 1.4M of data per second; 84M per minute; 5G per hour
5 MPEG-1 Audio Lossy compression of audio In late 1980 s ISO s MPEG group started to standardize TV broadcasting Use of Audio on CD-ROM (later DVD) MPEG-1 Audio 1992 MPEG-2 Audio MPEG-1 Audio Layer I, II, III
6 Criteria for A Good Standard Achieve desired outcome Be comprehensible Allow efficient implementation Support competition Give benchmark tests Be supported by industry Be good for end users. Two models: implement first, then standardize standardize first, then implement
7 MPEG-1 Audio Layer II Called MP2 Dominant standard for audio broadcasting DAB digital radio and DVB digital television Came out of MUSICAM codecs with bit rates kbps MUSICAM audio coding - basis for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 audio Sampling rates: 32, 44.1, 48 khz Bit rates: 32, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 384 kbps Format: mono, stereo, dual channel, MP2 sub-band audio encoder in time domain
8 MPEG-1 Audio Layer III MPEG-1 Layer III is called MP3 format Popular for PC and Internet applications Goal to compress to 128 kbps, but can be compressed to higher or lower resulting quality Utilization of psychoacoustics Scientific study of sound perception.
9 MPEG Audio MP3 First psychoacoustic masking code was proposed in 1979 in AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill. MP3 based on OCF (optimum coding in frequency domain) and PXFM (Perceptual transform coding) MPEG-1 Audio Layer III public release 1993 MPEG-2 Audio III public release 1995
10 MPEG Audio MP mp3.com offering thousands of MP3s created by independent artists for free 1999 Napster MP3 peer-to-peer file sharing Problem: copyright infringement Authorized services: Amazon.com, Rhapsody, Juno Records,..
11 MPEG-1 Audio Encoding Characteristics Precision 16 bits Sampling frequency: 32KHz, 44.1 KHz, 48 KHz 3 compression layers: Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3 (MP3) Layer 3: kbps, target 64 kbps Layer 2: kbps, target 128 kbps Layer 1: kbps, target 192 kbps
12 MPEG Audio Encoding Steps
13 MPEG Audio Filter Bank Filter bank divides input into multiple sub-bands (32 equal frequency sub-bands) Sub-band i defined St[ i] 7 k j 0 (2i cos( i [ 0,31], S [ i] 1)( k 16) *( C[ k j]* x[ k 64 j] t - filter output sample for sub-band i at time t, C[n] one of 512 coefficients, x[n] audio input sample from 512 sample buffer
14 MPEG Audio Psycho-acoustic Model MPEG audio compresses by removing acoustically irrelevant parts of audio signals Takes advantage of human auditory systems inability to hear quantization noise under auditory masking Auditory masking: occurs when ever the presence of a strong audio signal makes a temporal or spectral neighborhood of weaker audio signals imperceptible.
15
16 Loudness and Pitch (Review on Psychoacoustic Effects) More sensitive to loudness at mid frequencies than at other frequencies intermediate frequencies at [500hz, 5000hz] Human hearing frequencies at [20hz,20000hz] Perceived loudness of a sound changes based on frequency of that sound basilar membrane reacts more to intermediate frequencies than other frequencies
17 Fletcher-Munson Contours Each contour represents an equal perceived sound Perception sensitivity (loudness) is not linear across all frequencies and intensities
18 Masking Effects (Review of Psychoacoustic Effects) Frequency masking Temporal masking
19 MPEG/audio divides audio signal into frequency sub-bands that approximate critical bands. Then we quantize each sub-band according to the audibility of quantization noise within the band
20 MPEG Audio Bit Allocation This process determines number of code bits allocated to each sub-band based on information from the psychoacoustic model Algorithm: 1. Compute mask-to-noise ratio: MNR=SNR-SMR Standard provides tables that give estimates for SNR resulting from quantizing to a given number of quantizer levels 2. Get MNR for each sub-band 3. Search for sub-band with the lowest MNR 4. Allocate code bits to this sub-band. If sub-band gets allocated more code bits than appropriate, look up new estimate of SNR and repeat step 1
21 Audio Quality Bitrate With too low bit rate, we get compression artifacts Ringing Pre-echo sound is heard before it occurs. It is most noticeable in impulsive sounds from percussion instruments such as cymbals Occurs in transform-based audio compression algorithms Quality of encoder and encoding parameters Constant Bit rate encoding Variable Bit rate encoding
22 MP3 Audio Format Source:
23 MPEG Audio Comments Precision of 16 bits per sample is needed to get good SNR ratio Noise we are getting is quantization noise from the digitization process For each added bit, we get 6dB better SNR ratio Masking effect means that we can raise the noise floor around a strong sound because the noise will be masked away Raising noise floor is the same as using less bits and using less bits is the same as compression
24 Successor of MP3 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) now part of MPEG-4 Audio Inclusion of 48 full-bandwidth audio channels Default audio format for iphone, ipad, Nintendo, PlayStation, Nokia, Android, BlackBerry Introduced 1997 as MPEG-2 Part 7 In 1999 updated and included in MPEG-4
25 AAC s Improvements over MP3 More sample frequencies (8-96 khz) Arbitrary bit rates and variable frame length Higher efficiency and simpler filterbank Uses pure MDCT (modified discrete cosine transform) Used in Windows Media Audio
26 MPEG-4 Audio Variety of applications General audio signals Speech signals Synthetic audio Synthesized speech (structured audio)
27 MPEG-4 Audio Part 3 Includes variety of audio coding technologies Lossy speech coding (e.g., CELP) CELP code-excited linear prediction speech coding General audio coding (AAC) Lossless audio coding Text-to-Speech interface Structured Audio (e.g., MIDI)
28 MPEG-4 Part 14 Called MP4 with Extension.mp4 Multimedia container format Stores digital video and audio streams and allows streaming over Internet Container or wrapper format meta-file format whose spec describes how different data elements and metadata coesit in computer file
29 MPEG-4 Audio Bit-rate 2-64kbps Scalable for variable rates MPEG-4 defines set of coders Parametric Coding Techniques: low bit-rate 2-6kbps, 8kHz sampling frequency Code Excited Linear Prediction: medium bit-rates 6-24 kbps, 8 and 16 khz sampling rate Time Frequency Techniques: high quality audio 16 kbps and higher bit-rates, sampling rate > 7 khz CS Spring 2011
30 Conclusion MPEG Audio is an integral part of the MPEG standard to be considered together with video MPEG-4 Audio represents an major extension in terms of capabilities to MPEG-1 Audio
