A bandwidth extension (BWE) algorithm from wideband to superwideband (SWB) is proposed for a scalable speech/audio codec that uses modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) coefficients as spectral parameters. The superwideband is first split into several subbands that are represented as gain parameters and normalized MDCT coefficients in the proposed BWE algorithm. We then estimate normalized MDCT coefficients of the wideband to be fetched for the superwideband and quantize the fetch indices. After that, we quantize gain parameters by using relative ratios between adjacent subbands. The proposed BWE algorithm is embedded into a standard superwideband codec, the SWB extension of G.729.1 Annex E, and its bitrate and quality are compared with those of the BWE algorithm already employed in the standard superwideband codec. It is shown from the comparison that the proposed BWE algorithm relatively reduces the bitrate by around 19% with better quality, compared to the BWE algorithm in the SWB extension of G.729.1 Annex E.

In this research we undertake a study of image compression based on the discrete cosine transform(DCT) and discrete wavelet transform(DWT). Then a hybrid color image compression algorithm based on DCT and DWT is proposed. This algorithm is implemented through transform the color image using DWT in the YCbCr space first, and then DCT in the low frequency, adopt huffman coding, RLE and arithmetic coding in the encoded mode. In experiments, the results outperform the only DCT and the only DWT typically higher in peak signal-to-noise ratio and have better visual quality.
