According to the present invention, it is possible to calculate
appropriate chirp factor and noise component amount with a little
processing amount.Input subband signal is segmented into a plurality of
ranges by a range segmentation unit 101. The range segmentation is
performed for energy value calculation, chirp factor calculation, noise
component calculation, and tone component calculation, respectively, and
determined range segmentation information ei, bi, qi, and hi are
outputted. Respective processing for the energy calculation, the chirp
factor calculation, the tone component calculation, and the noise
component calculation are performed sequentially for the respective
corresponding ranges. By using linear prediction processing, it is
possible to obtain an parameter having higher accuracy with a little
operation amount.
