The noise shaping lowers the noise floor by 11dB below 5kHz (@ 44100Hz sample rate) compared to triangular-PDF dither. The code below assumes input data is in the range +1 to -1 and doesn't check for overloads! To save time when generating dither for multiple channels you can do things like this: r3=(r1 & 0x7F)<<8; instead of calling rand() again. int r1, r2; //rectangular-PDF random numbers float s1, s2; //error feedback buffers float s = 0.5f; //set to 0.0f for no noise shaping float w = pow(2.0,bits-1); //word length (usually bits=16) float wi= 1.0f/w; float d = wi / RAND_MAX; //dither amplitude (2 lsb) float o = wi * 0.5f; //remove dc offset float in, tmp; int out; //for each sample... r2=r1; //can make HP-TRI dither by r1=rand(); //subtracting previous rand() in += s * (s1 + s1 - s2); //error feedback tmp = in + o + d * (float)(r1 - r2); //dc offset and dither out = (int)(w * tmp); //truncate downwards if(tmp<0.0f) out--; //this is faster than floor() s2 = s1; s1 = in - wi * (float)out; //error -- paul.kellett@maxim.abel.co.uk http://www.maxim.abel.co.uk */ /* 16-to-8-bit first-order dither Type : First order error feedforward dithering code References : Posted by Jon Watte Notes : This is about as simple a dithering algorithm as you can implement, but it's likely to sound better than just truncating to N bits. Note that you might not want to carry forward the full difference for infinity. It's probably likely that the worst performance hit comes from the saturation conditionals, which can be avoided with appropriate instructions on many DSPs and integer SIMD type instructions, or CMOV. Last, if sound quality is paramount (such as when going from > 16 bits to 16 bits) you probably want to use a higher-order dither function found elsewhere on this site. Code : // This code will down-convert and dither a 16-bit signed short // mono signal into an 8-bit unsigned char signal, using a first // order forward-feeding error term dither. #define uchar unsigned char void dither_one_channel_16_to_8( short * input, uchar * output, int count, int * memory ) { int m = *memory; while( count-- > 0 ) { int i = *input++; i += m; int j = i + 32768 - 128; uchar o; if( j < 0 ) { o = 0; } else if( j > 65535 ) { o = 255; } else { o = (uchar)((j>>8)&0xff); } m = ((j-32768+128)-i); *output++ = o; } *memory = m; } */
