Abstract
This paper proposes a novel algorithm for hybrid lossless audio coding, which employs an integer wavelet transform and a linear prediction model. The proposed algorithm divides the input signal into flames of a proper length, decorrelates the framed data using the integer wavelet transform and linear prediction and finally entropy-codes the frame data. In particular, the adaptive Golomb-Rice coding method used for the entropy coding selects an optimal option which gives the best compression efficiency. Since the proposed algorithm uses integer operations, it significantly improves the computation speed in comparison with an algorithm using real or floating-point operations. When the coding algorithm is implemented in hardware, the system complexity as well as the power consumption is remarkably reduced. Finally, because each frame is independently coded and is byte-aligned with respect to the frame header, it is convenient to move, search, and edit the coded, compressed data.
