Auditory modeling is a well-established methodology that provides insight into human perception and that facilitates the extraction of signal features most relevant to the human listener for coding applications. This thesis deals with the approach of `coding in the perceptual domain' and is based on an invertible auditory model that provides a pulsed auditory representation of the input speech or audio signal. It is natural for pulsed signal representations to encode only the non-zero samples by specifying their positions as side information. For the considered auditory representation, the number of pulses and, therefore, the amount of side information is too high for an efficient encoding at a relatively low bit rate. The focus of this ... toggle 3 keywords
