Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is provided for determining an indicator evaluating the voice quality of a coded speech signal. The method includes the following steps: calculation per signal frame, of a predetermined number of coefficients of a linear prediction filter for the coded speech signal; determination per frame, of a speech signal reconstructed on the basis of the filter coefficients thus calculated; obtaining per sample, of the residual between the coded speech signal and the reconstructed speech signal; calculation of an evaluation indicator on the basis of the mean or the absolute value of the residuals obtained for all the samples. Also provided are a device for determining an indicator implementing the above method, a method of evaluating the quality or of identifying the class of coding of the coded signal using the indicator determined, as well as a measurement terminal implementing these methods.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising acts of: receiving, by a device, a coded speech signal from a communications network in which the coded speech signal was sent from a transmitter to a receiver, interconnected by the communications network, the coded speech signal comprising a plurality of frames, and the device being connected to the communications network; for each frame of the received coded speech signal, the device performing acts of: calculating with a proc…
