\section{Floor type 1 setup and decode} \label{vorbis:spec:floor1}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Overview}
|
|
|
|
Vorbis floor type one uses a piecewise straight-line representation to
|
|
encode a spectral envelope curve. The representation plots this curve
|
|
mechanically on a linear frequency axis and a logarithmic (dB)
|
|
amplitude axis. The integer plotting algorithm used is similar to
|
|
Bresenham's algorithm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Floor 1 format}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{model}
|
|
|
|
Floor type one represents a spectral curve as a series of
|
|
line segments. Synthesis constructs a floor curve using iterative
|
|
prediction in a process roughly equivalent to the following simplified
|
|
description:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item the first line segment (base case) is a logical line spanning
|
|
from x_0,y_0 to x_1,y_1 where in the base case x_0=0 and x_1=[n], the
|
|
full range of the spectral floor to be computed.
|
|
|
|
\item the induction step chooses a point x_new within an existing
|
|
logical line segment and produces a y_new value at that point computed
|
|
from the existing line's y value at x_new (as plotted by the line) and
|
|
a difference value decoded from the bitstream packet.
|
|
|
|
\item floor computation produces two new line segments, one running from
|
|
x_0,y_0 to x_new,y_new and from x_new,y_new to x_1,y_1. This step is
|
|
performed logically even if y_new represents no change to the
|
|
amplitude value at x_new so that later refinement is additionally
|
|
bounded at x_new.
|
|
|
|
\item the induction step repeats, using a list of x values specified in
|
|
the codec setup header at floor 1 initialization time. Computation
|
|
is completed at the end of the x value list.
|
|
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consider the following example, with values chosen for ease of
|
|
understanding rather than representing typical configuration:
|
|
|
|
For the below example, we assume a floor setup with an [n] of 128.
|
|
The list of selected X values in increasing order is
|
|
0,16,32,48,64,80,96,112 and 128. In list order, the values interleave
|
|
as 0, 128, 64, 32, 96, 16, 48, 80 and 112. The corresponding
|
|
list-order Y values as decoded from an example packet are 110, 20, -5,
|
|
-45, 0, -25, -10, 30 and -10. We compute the floor in the following
|
|
way, beginning with the first line:
|
|
|
|
\begin{center}
|
|
\includegraphics[width=8cm]{floor1-1}
|
|
\captionof{figure}{graph of example floor}
|
|
\end{center}
|
|
|
|
We now draw new logical lines to reflect the correction to new_Y, and
|
|
iterate for X positions 32 and 96:
|
|
|
|
\begin{center}
|
|
\includegraphics[width=8cm]{floor1-2}
|
|
\captionof{figure}{graph of example floor}
|
|
\end{center}
|
|
|
|
Although the new Y value at X position 96 is unchanged, it is still
|
|
used later as an endpoint for further refinement. From here on, the
|
|
pattern should be clear; we complete the floor computation as follows:
|
|
|
|
\begin{center}
|
|
\includegraphics[width=8cm]{floor1-3}
|
|
\captionof{figure}{graph of example floor}
|
|
\end{center}
|
|
|
|
\begin{center}
|
|
\includegraphics[width=8cm]{floor1-4}
|
|
\captionof{figure}{graph of example floor}
|
|
\end{center}
|
|
|
|
A more efficient algorithm with carefully defined integer rounding
|
|
behavior is used for actual decode, as described later. The actual
|
|
algorithm splits Y value computation and line plotting into two steps
|
|
with modifications to the above algorithm to eliminate noise
|
|
accumulation through integer roundoff/truncation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{header decode}
|
|
|
|
A list of floor X values is stored in the packet header in interleaved
|
|
format (used in list order during packet decode and synthesis). This
|
|
list is split into partitions, and each partition is assigned to a
|
|
partition class. X positions 0 and [n] are implicit and do not belong
|
|
to an explicit partition or partition class.
|
|
|
|
A partition class consists of a representation vector width (the
|
|
number of Y values which the partition class encodes at once), a
|
|
'subclass' value representing the number of alternate entropy books
|
|
the partition class may use in representing Y values, the list of
|
|
[subclass] books and a master book used to encode which alternate
|
|
books were chosen for representation in a given packet. The
|
|
master/subclass mechanism is meant to be used as a flexible
|
|
representation cascade while still using codebooks only in a scalar
|
|
context.

|
|
An end-of-packet condition while reading any aspect of a floor 1
|
|
configuration during setup renders a stream undecodable. In addition,
|
|
a \varname{[floor1\_class\_masterbooks]} or
|
|
\varname{[floor1\_subclass\_books]} scalar element greater than the
|
|
highest numbered codebook configured in this stream is an error
|
|
condition that renders the stream undecodable. Vector
|
|
[floor1\_x\_list] is limited to a maximum length of 65 elements; a
|
|
setup indicating more than 65 total elements (including elements 0 and
|
|
1 set prior to the read loop) renders the stream undecodable. All
|
|
vector [floor1\_x\_list] element values must be unique within the
|
|
vector; a non-unique value renders the stream undecodable.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{packet decode} \label{vorbis:spec:floor1-decode}
|
|
|
|
Packet decode begins by checking the \varname{[nonzero]} flag:
|
|
|
|
\begin{Verbatim}[commandchars=\\\{\}]
|
|
1) [nonzero] = read 1 bit as boolean
|
|
\end{Verbatim}
|
|
|
|
If \varname{[nonzero]} is unset, that indicates this channel contained
|
|
no audio energy in this frame. Decode immediately returns a status
|
|
indicating this floor curve (and thus this channel) is unused this
|
|
frame. (A return status of 'unused' is different from decoding a
|
|
floor that has all points set to minimum representation amplitude,
|
|
which happens to be approximately -140dB).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assuming \varname{[nonzero]} is set, decode proceeds as follows:
|
|
|
|
\begin{Verbatim}[commandchars=\\\{\}]
|
|
1) [range] = vector \{ 256, 128, 86, 64 \} element ([floor1\_multiplier]-1)
|
|
2) vector [floor1\_Y] element [0] = read \link{vorbis:spec:ilog}{ilog}([range]-1) bits as unsigned integer
|
|
3) vector [floor1\_Y] element [1] = read \link{vorbis:spec:ilog}{ilog}([range]-1) bits as unsigned integer
|
|
4) [offset] = 2;
|
|
5) iterate [i] over the range 0 ... [floor1\_partitions]-1 \{
|
|
|
|
6) [class] = vector [floor1\_partition\_class] element [i]
|
|
7) [cdim] = vector [floor1\_class\_dimensions] element [class]
|
|
8) [cbits] = vector [floor1\_class\_subclasses] element [class]
|
|
9) [csub] = (2 exponent [cbits])-1
|
|
10) [cval] = 0
|
|
11) if ( [cbits] is greater than zero ) \{
|
|
|
|
12) [cval] = read from packet using codebook number
|
|
(vector [floor1\_class\_masterbooks] element [class]) in scalar context
|
|
\}
|
|
|
|
13) iterate [j] over the range 0 ... [cdim]-1 \{
|
|
|
|
14) [book] = array [floor1\_subclass\_books] element [class],([cval] bitwise AND [csub])
|
|
15) [cval] = [cval] right shifted [cbits] bits
|
|
16) if ( [book] is not less than zero ) \{
|
|
|
|
17) vector [floor1\_Y] element ([j]+[offset]) = read from packet using codebook
|
|
[book] in scalar context
|
|
|
|
\} else [book] is less than zero \{
|
|
|
|
18) vector [floor1\_Y] element ([j]+[offset]) = 0
|
|
|
|
\}
|
|
\}
|
|
|
|
19) [offset] = [offset] + [cdim]
|
|
|
|
\}
|
|
|
|
20) done
|
|
\end{Verbatim}
|
|
|
|
An end-of-packet condition during curve decode should be considered a
|
|
nominal occurrence; if end-of-packet is reached during any read
|
|
operation above, floor decode is to return 'unused' status as if the
|
|
\varname{[nonzero]} flag had been unset at the beginning of decode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vector \varname{[floor1\_Y]} contains the values from packet decode
|
|
needed for floor 1 synthesis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{curve computation} \label{vorbis:spec:floor1-synth}
|
|
|
|
Curve computation is split into two logical steps; the first step
|
|
derives final Y amplitude values from the encoded, wrapped difference
|
|
values taken from the bitstream. The second step plots the curve
|
|
lines. Also, although zero-difference values are used in the
|
|
iterative prediction to find final Y values, these points are
|
|
conditionally skipped during final line computation in step two.
|
|
Skipping zero-difference values allows a smoother line fit.
|
|
|
|
Although some aspects of the below algorithm look like inconsequential
|
|
optimizations, implementors are warned to follow the details closely.
|
|
Deviation from implementing a strictly equivalent algorithm can result
|
|
in serious decoding errors.
|
|
|
|
{\em Additional note:} Although \varname{[floor1\_final\_Y]} values in
|
|
the prediction loop and at the end of step 1 are inherently limited by
|
|
the prediction algorithm to [0, \varname{[range]}), it is possible to
|
|
abuse the setup and codebook machinery to produce negative or
|
|
over-range results. We suggest that decoder implementations guard
|
|
the values in vector \varname{[floor1\_final\_Y]} by clamping each
|
|
element to [0, \varname{[range]}) after step 1. Variants of this
|
|
suggestion are acceptable as valid floor1 setups cannot produce
|
|
out of range values.
|
|
|

\item[step 2: curve synthesis]
|
|
|
|
Curve synthesis generates a return vector \varname{[floor]} of length
|
|
\varname{[n]} (where \varname{[n]} is provided by the decode process
|
|
calling to floor decode). Floor 1 curve synthesis makes use of the
|
|
\varname{[floor1\_X\_list]}, \varname{[floor1\_final\_Y]} and
|
|
\varname{[floor1\_step2\_flag]} vectors, as well as [floor1\_multiplier]
|
|
and [floor1\_values] values.
|
|
|
|
Decode begins by sorting the scalars from vectors
|
|
\varname{[floor1\_X\_list]}, \varname{[floor1\_final\_Y]} and
|
|
\varname{[floor1\_step2\_flag]} together into new vectors
|
|
\varname{[floor1\_X\_list]'}, \varname{[floor1\_final\_Y]'} and
|
|
\varname{[floor1\_step2\_flag]'} according to ascending sort order of the
|
|
values in \varname{[floor1\_X\_list]}. That is, sort the values of
|
|
\varname{[floor1\_X\_list]} and then apply the same permutation to
|
|
elements of the other two vectors so that the X, Y and step2\_flag
|
|
values still match.
