    摘要: Parameters being a measure for a characteristic of a channel or of a pair of channels, wherein the parameter is a measure for a characteristic of the channel or of the pair of channels with respect to another channel of a multi-channel signal can be quantized more efficiently using a quantization rule that is generated based on a relation of an energy measure of the channel or the pair of channels and an energy measure of the multi-channel signal. With generation of the quantization rule taking into account a psycho acoustic approach, the size of an encoded representation of the multi-channel signal can be decreased by coarser quantization without significantly disturbing the perceptual quality of the multi-channel signal when reconstructed from the encoded representation.

    摘要: The present invention provides improvements to prior art audio codecs that generate a stereo-illusion through post-processing of a received mono signal. These improvements are accomplished by extraction of stereo-image describing parameters at the encoder side, which are transmitted and subsequently used for control of a stereo generator at the decoder side. Furthermore, the invention bridges the gap between simple pseudo-stereo methods, and current methods of true stereo-coding, by using a new form of parametric stereo coding. A stereo-balance parameter is introduced, which enables more advanced stereo modes, and in addition forms the basis of a new method of stereo-coding of spectral envelopes, of particular use in systems where guided HFR (High Frequency Reconstruction) is employed. As a special case, the application of this stereo-coding scheme in scalable HFR-based codecs is described.

    摘要: A synthesizer for generating a decorrelation signal using an input signal is operative on a plurality of subband signals, wherein a subband signal includes a sequence of at least two subband samples, the sequence of the subband samples representing a bandwidth of the subband signal, which is smaller than a bandwidth of the input signal. The synthesizer includes a filter stage (201) for filtering each subband signal using a reverberation filter to obtain a plurality of reverberated subband signals, wherein a plurality of reverberated subband signals together represent the decorrelation signal. This decorrelation signal is used for reconstructing a signal based on a parametrically encoded stereo signal consisting of a mono signal and a coherence measure.

    摘要: A parameter representation of a multi-channel signal having several original channels includes a parameter set, which, when used together with at least one down-mix channel allows a multi-channel reconstruction. An additional level parameter is calculated such that an energy of the at least one downmix channel weighted by the level parameter is equal to a sum of energies of the original channels. The additional level parameter is transmitted to a multi-channel reconstructor together with the parameter set or together with a down-mix channel. An apparatus for generating a multi-channel representation uses the level parameter to correct the energy of the at least one transmitted down-mix channel before entering the down-mix signal into an up-mixer or within the up-mixing process.

    摘要: The present application relates to multichannel source encoding and decoding. On a coder-side, a parameter calculator calculates lower resolution parametric information such as binaural cues, interpolation control information representing the choice of one of a plurality of interpolation characteristics, and generates a downmixed set of channels of the source. On a decoder-side, an upmixer (500) is used for generating the output channels (502) based on a downmixed set of encoded channels. The upmixer (500) uses high resolution parametric information (506) generated by a parameter interpolator (508) based on the low resolution parametric information (510) and decoder-side derived interpolation information (512) or encoder-generated interpolation information (512) for selecting one of a plurality of different interpolation characteristics.
