摘要:
A parameter transformer generates level parameters, indicating an energy relation between a first and a second audio channel of a multi-channel audio signal associated to a multi-channel loudspeake configuration. The level parameter are generated based on object parameters for a plurality of audio objects associated to a down-mix channel, which is generated using object audio signals associated to the audio objects. The object parameters comprise an energy parameter indicating an energy of the object audio signal. To derive the coherence and the level parameters, a parameter generator is used, which combines the energy parameter and object rendering parameters, which depend on a desired rendering configuration.

摘要:
A Multi-channel synthesiser for generating at least three output channels (110, 111, 112) using an input signal having at least one base channel, the base channel being derived from the original multi-channel signal (101, 102, 103), the input signal further including at least two different up-mixing parameters, and an up-mixer mode indication (1005) indicating, in a first state that a first up-mixing rule is to be performed, and, indicating, in a second state, that a different second up-mixing rule is to be performed, uses an up-mixer for up-mixing the at least one base channel using the at least two different up-mixing parameters based on the first or the second up-mixing rule in response to the up-mixer mode indication (1005) so that the at least three output channels (110, 111, 112) are obtained.
摘要:
For a multi-channel reconstruction of audio signals based on at least one base channel, an energy measure is used for compensating energy losses due to an predictive upmix. The energy measure can be applied in the encoder or the decoder. Furthermore, a decorrelated signal is added to output channels generated by an energy-loss introducing upmix procedure. The energy of the decorrelated signal is smaller than or equal to an energy error introduced by the predictive upmix. Thus, problems occurring for prediction based up-mix methods such as up-mixing signals that are coded with High Frequency Reconstruction techniques are solved, so that the correct correlation between the up-mixed channels is obtained or the up-mix is adapted to arbitrary down-mixes.
摘要:
A headphone down mix signal (314) can be efficiently derived from a parametric down mix of a multi-channel signal (312), when modified HRTFs (310) (head related transfer functions) are derived from HRTFs (308) of a multi-channel signal using a level parameter (306) having information on a level relation between two channels of the multi-channel signals such that a modified HRTF (310) is stronger influenced by the HRTF (308) of a channel having a higher level than by the HRTF (308) of a channel having a lower level. Modified HRTFs (310) are derived within the decoding process taking into account the relative strength of the channels associated to the HRTFs (308). The HRTFs (308) are thus modified such that a down mix signal (314) of a parametric representation of a multi-channel signal can directly be used to synthesize the headphone down mix signal (314) without the need of an intermediate full parametric multi-channel reconstruction of the parametric down mix.

摘要:
An audio encoding method is characterized by a decision being made as to whether the device which will decode the resulting bit stream should apply post filtering including attenuation of interharmonic noise. Hence, the decision whether to use the post filter, which is encoded in the bit stream, is taken separately from the decision as to the most suitable coding mode. In another aspect, there is provided an audio decoding method with a decoding step followed by a post-filtering step, including an amount of interharmonic noise attenuation determined by a variable gain, and being characterized in a step of setting the gain to zero or near-zero in accordance with post filtering information encoded in the bit stream signal. Such a method is well suited for mixed-origin audio signals by virtue of its capability to deactivate the post filter in dependence of the post filtering information only, hence independently of factors such as the current coding mode.
