Thread: partial (low quality) decoding AAC




partial (low quality) decoding AAC

Hi,

Has anyone here worked on partially decoding AAC-LC format?
The
purpose is to save CPU time and to get a lower decoded data
rate. The
most straightforward approach, I guess, is to synthesize
only the
lower bands. Can this be done by using half sized fft? What
are the
others changes needed? Is the code for doing this in the
fixed point
decoder already available?

Thank you very much

There is no functionality like this in the code.
Downsampling in the 
frequency domain will be difficult because of the MDCT and
probably 
wouldn't reduce overall complexity much. But feel free to 
investigate. Depending on the platform, it might be possible
to save 
enough cycles through conventional optimizations to run the
standard 
decoder and a good resampler instead.

Another option would be to zero out (not decode) the upper
MDCT 
coefficients, do the standard inverse transform, then run a
fast, 
low-quality downsampler. This would also allow you to do
less work in 
dequantization, TNS, etc. since unused coefficients could be
skipped. 
But this damages audio quality significantly, and it would
be best to 
avoid this if possible.
