Methods and systems for encoding frequency-domain data

Abstract:

An exemplary frequency-domain encoder system accesses a set of encoder parameters. The frequency-domain encoder system also accesses time-domain data representative of a content instance. In accordance with the set of encoder parameters, the frequency-domain encoder system transforms the time-domain data into frequency-domain data representative of the content instance. The frequency-domain data includes a plurality of complex coefficients each representing different frequency components of a plurality of frequency components incorporated by the content instance. Also in accordance with the set of encoder parameters, the frequency-domain encoder system generates a frequency-domain data container that includes, in a predefined data container format, the complex coefficients of the frequency-domain data and metadata descriptive of the frequency-domain data. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.
