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:
A system and method for automatically equalizing audio signals uses an energy calculation unit (140) to calculate spectral energy values for a plurality of frequency bands based on equalized frequency components. A spreading unit (150) then determines spreaded energy values for each frequency band based on the measured spectral energy values and a spreading function, where the spreading function defines the spread of spectral energy across the frequency bands. An update unit (160, 170) then updates equalizer settings for each frequency band by taking a previous (or initial) equalizer setting and subtracting a normalized ratio of the measured spectral energy value and the spreaded energy value for that frequency band. In this manner, the accumulation of adjustments to the equalizer settings results in slightly attenuating frequency bands that are clearly audible and slightly amplifying frequency bands that are masked by other frequency bands.

A system (100) of processing audio data, comprising a decoding unit (102) and a determining unit (102, 106) having first determining means (102) and second determining means (106). The decoding unit (102) is adapted to decode encoded audio data to generate decoded audio data. The first determining means (102) is adapted to determine properties of the decoded audio data and/or of reproduction conditions under which the decoded audio data is to be reproduced, and the second determining means (106) is adapted to determine an amount of reverberation and/or of cross-talk to be added to the decoded audio data based on thedetermined properties of the decoded audio data and/or of the determined reproduction conditions under which the decoded audio data is to be reproduced.
