Audio Signal Decoder, Time Warp Contour Data Provider, Method and Computer Program
First Claim
1. A audio signal decoder configured to provide a decoded audio signal representation on the basis of an encoded audio signal representation comprising a time warp contour evolution information, the audio signal decoder comprising:
- a time warp calculator configured to generated time warp contour data repeatedly restarting from a predetermined time warp contour start value on the basis of the time warp contour evolution information describing a temporal evolution of the time warp contour;
a time warp contour rescaler configured to rescale at least a portion of the time warp contour data such that a discontinuity at a restart is avoided, reduced or eliminated in a rescaled version of the time warp contour; and
a warp decoder configured to provide the decoded audio signal representation on the basis of the encoded audio signal representation and using the resealed version of the time warp contour.

Abstract
An audio signal decoder configured to provide a decoded audio signal representation on the basis of an encoded audio signal representation having a time warp contour evolution information has a time warp contour calculator, a time warp contour data rescaler and a warp decoder. The time warp contour calculator is configured to generate time warp contour data repeatedly restarting from a predetermined time warp contour start value on the basis of a time warp contour evolution information describing a temporal evolution of the time warp contour. The time warp contour data rescaler is configured to rescale at least a portion of the time warp contour data such that a discontinuity at a restart is avoided, reduced or eliminated in a rescaled version of the time warp contour. The warp decoder is configured to provide the decoded audio signal representation on the basis of the encoded audio signal representation and using the rescaled version of the time warp contour.

14. A time warp contour data provider for providing time warp contour data representing a temporal evolution of a relative pitch of an audio signal on the basis of a time warp contour evolution information, the time warp contour data provider comprising:
-
a time warp contour calculator configured to generate time warp contour data on the basis of a time warp contour evolution information describing a temporal evolution of the time warp contour, wherein the time warp contour calculator is configured to repeatedly or periodically restart, at a restart position, a calculation of the time warp contour data from a predetermined time warp contour start value, thereby creating discontinuities of the time warp contour and reducing a range of the time warp contour data values; and a time warp contour rescaler configured to repeatedly rescale portions of the time warp contour, to reduce or eliminate the discontinuities at the restart positions in resealed sections of the time warp contour.
