Abstract
In this chapter, the principles of audio coding will be described, with emphasis on low delay audio coding. Audio coding is based on psycho-acoustic masking effects, as computed by psycho-acoustic models. To use the masking effects and to obtain a good compression ratio, filter banks are used. The principles of psycho-acoustics and of the design of filter banks are presented. Further a new low delay audio coding scheme based on prediction is shown.
