Audio Bandwidth Extension Method Based on Grey Verhulst Model
The naturalness and auditory quality of the wideband audio is generally degraded due to the limitation of transmission bandwidth
so this paper presents a kind of audio bandwidth extension method from the wideband to super wideband based on grey Verhulst model.Grey Verhulst model was utilized for estimating the envelope of high-frequency spectrum
according to the evolution tendency of the spectral envelope series of audio signals.In addition
nearest-neighbor matching was utilized to predict the fine structure of high-frequency components.At last
the proposed method can effectively recover the high-frequency components in the frequency range 7-14 kHz through the envelope adjustment of high-frequency spectrum.Subjective and objective testing results indicate that the proposed method can improve the auditory quality of the wideband audio and outperforms the conventional method of audio bandwidth extension based on Gaussian mixture model.
