摘要:
In multichannel audio coding, an improved coding efficiency is achieved by the following measure: the noise filling of zero-quantized scale factor bands is performed using noise filling sources other than artificially generated noise or spectral replica. In particular, the coding efficiency in multichannel audio coding may be rendered more efficient by performing the noise filling based on noise generated using spectral lines from a previous frame of, or a different channel of the current frame of, the multichannel audio signal.

An audio decoder for providing at least four bandwidth-extended channel signals on the basis of an encoded representation is configured to provide a first downmix signal and a second downmix signal on the basis of a jointly encoded representation of the first downmix signal and the second downmix signal using a multi-channel decoding. The audio decoder is configured to provide at least a first audio channel signal and a second audio channel signal on the basis of the first downmix signal using a multi-channel decoding. The audio decoder is configured to provide at least a third audio channel signal and a fourth audio channel signal on the basis of the second downmix signal using a multi-channel decoding. The audio decoder is configured to perform a multi-channel bandwidth extension on the basis of the first audio channel signal and the third audio channel signal, to obtain a first bandwidth-extended channel signal and a third bandwidth-extended channel signal. The audio decoder is configured to perform a multi-channel bandwidth extension on the basis of the second audio channel signal and the fourth audio channel signal, to obtain a second bandwidth extended channel signal and a fourth bandwidth extended channel signal. An audio encoder uses a related concept.

An apparatus for upmixing a downmix audio signal describing one or more downmix audio channels into an upmixed audio signal describing a plurality of upmixed audio channels comprises an upmixer configured to apply temporally variable upmixing parameters to upmix the downmix audio signal in order to obtain the upmixed audio signal. The apparatus also comprises a parameter interpolator, wherein the parameter interpolator is configured to obtain one or more temporally interpolated upmix parameters to be used by the upmixer on the basis of a first complex-valued upmix parameter and a subsequent second complex-valued upmix parameter. The parameter interpolator is configured to separately interpolate between a magnitude value of the first complex-valued upmix parameter and a magnitude value of the second complex-valued upmix parameter, and between a phase value of the first complex-valued upmix parameter and a phase value of the second complex-valued upmix parameter, to obtain the one or more temporally interpolated upmix parameters. A respective method can be implemented, for example, as a computer program.

An apparatus for synthesizing a rendered output signal having a first audio channel and a second audio channel includes a decorrelator stage (356) for generating a decorrelator signal based on a downmix signal, and a combiner (364) for performing a weighted combination of the downmix signal and a decorrelated signal based on parametric audio object information (362), downmix information (354) and target rendering information (360). The combiner solves the problem of optimally combining matrixing with decorrelation for a high quality stereo scene reproduction of a number of individual audio objects using a multichannel downmix.
