Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for attenuating pre-echoes in a digital audio signal generated from a transform encoding, comprising, upon decoding and for a current frame of said digital audio signal: defining a concatenated signal from at least the reconstructed signal of the current frame, dividing said concatenated signal into subunits of samples having a predetermined length, calculating the time envelope of the concatenated signal, detecting the transition of the time envelope towards a high-energy area, determining the low-energy sub-units preceding a subunit in which a transition has been detected, and an attenuation step in said determined subunits. The attenuation is carried out according to an attenuation factor calculated for each of the determined subunits, based on the time envelope of the concatenated signal. The invention also relates to a device for implementing said method, and to a decoder including such a device.
