nemo-nano-codec-22khz-1.89kbps-21.5fps-ONNX

NeMo Nano Codec (22kHz, 1.89kbps, 21.5fps) - ONNX

ONNX model for nemo-nano-codec-22khz-1.89kbps-21.5fps

Model Description

The codec uses a two-stage architecture: an encoder that compresses audio into discrete tokens via vector quantization, and a decoder that reconstructs audio from these tokens.

• Model type: Neural Audio Codec (Encoder-Decoder with Vector Quantization)

How to Get Started with the Model

Installation

pip install onnxruntime numpy

Basic Usage

Complete Pipeline Example

import numpy as np
import onnxruntime as ort

# Load both models
encoder = ort.InferenceSession('encoder.onnx')
decoder = ort.InferenceSession('decoder.onnx')

# Helper function for padding
def pad_audio_to_frames(audio, samples_per_frame=1024):
    """Pad audio to complete frames (required for encoder)."""
    current_len = audio.shape[-1]
    num_frames = (current_len + samples_per_frame - 1) // samples_per_frame
    padded_len = num_frames * samples_per_frame
    padding_needed = padded_len - current_len
    if padding_needed > 0:
        audio = np.pad(audio, ((0, 0), (0, padding_needed)), mode='constant')
    return audio, current_len

# Load your audio (must be 22050 Hz, mono)
original_audio = np.random.randn(1, 88200).astype(np.float32)  # 4 seconds example

# 1. Pad audio to complete frames
padded_audio, original_len = pad_audio_to_frames(original_audio)
audio_len = np.array([padded_audio.shape[-1]], dtype=np.int64)

# 2. Encode: Audio → Tokens
tokens, tokens_len = encoder.run(None, {
    'audio': padded_audio,
    'audio_len': audio_len
})

# 3. Decode: Tokens → Audio
reconstructed_audio, reconstructed_len = decoder.run(None, {
    'tokens': tokens,
    'tokens_len': tokens_len
})

# 4. Trim to original length
reconstructed_audio = reconstructed_audio[:, :original_len]
