    摘要: A device (1) is arranged for synthesizing sound represented by sets of parameters, each set comprising noise parameters (NP) representing noise components of the sound and optionally also other parameters representing other components, such as transients and sinusoids. Each set of parameters may correspond with a sound channel, such as a MIDI voice. In order to reduce the computational load, the device comprises a selection unit (2) for selecting a limited number of sets from the total number of sets on the basis of a perceptual relevance value, such as the amplitude or energy. The device further comprises a synthesizing unit (3) for synthesizing the noise components using the noise parameters of the selected sets only.

    摘要: A method using synthetic noise sources in a multi-channel audio coding system for encoding a set of audio signals wherein correlated noise components are present. The method comprises the step of determining, from the relation between said audio signals, a composition of noise sources, the composition being such that the noise sources in said composition are mutually uncorrelated, so that said composition of noise sources synthesizes said noise components in a relation-preserved way. The method may further comprise the step of encoding the noise sources, by determining for each noise source a set of noise parameters for synthesizing said source and a set of transformation parameters for generating said composition of noise sources.

    摘要: In a sinusoidal audio encoder it is known to use different time scales for analyzing different parts of the frequency spectrum. In prior art encoders sub-band filtering is used to split the input signal into a number of sub bands. By splitting the input signal into sub-bands, it can happen that a signal component at the boundary of two sub-bands results in a representation in both sub-band signals. This double representation of signal components can lead to several problems when coding these components. According to the present invention it is proposed to use preventing means (46, 48, 58, 68; 88, 92, 96) to avoid signal components to have multiple representations.

    摘要: An audio synthesizing apparatus receives an encoded signal comprising a downmix signal and parametric extension data for expanding the downmix signal to a multi-sound source signal. A decomposition processor (205) performs a signal decomposition of the downmix signal to generate at least a first signal component and a second signal component, where the second signal component is at least partially decorrelated with the first signal component. A position processor (207) determines a first spatial position indication for the first signal component in response to the parametric extension data and a binaural processor (211) synthesizes the first signal component based on the first spatial position indication and the second signal component to originate from a different direction. The invention may provide improved spatial experience from e.g. headphones by using a direct synthesis of a main directional signal from the appropriate position rather than as a combination of signals from virtual loudspeaker positions.

    摘要: The invention proposes a method for embedding an ancillary data into a compressed audio signal. This is achieved by replacing Least Significant Bits (LSBs) in at least one frequency subband of the compressed audio signal by the ancillary data. When replacing LSB bits of compressed subband signals with the ancillary data, the subband signal is effectively modified, resulting in a different decoded output. The replaced LSB bits corresponding to the ancillary data are conveyed as part of the bitstream and can be easily extracted at the decoder. In such a way the decoder obtains the ancillary data that can be used for more advanced audio reproduction at the decoder. The compressed audio itself maintains a good audio quality despite the replacement of the LSB bits of the frequency subband, because the LSB bits do not contribute to the audible artefacts.

The first encoding unit (123) may comprise a waveform encoder, such as a time-domain encoder, while the second encoding unit (124) may comprise a noise encoder.

    摘要: A transcoder comprises a receiver (101) which receives input data representing an encoded signal and comprising first encoding data and first parametric extension data. The encoded data is fed to a decoder (103). The output of the decoder (103) is fed to an encoder (105) which generates second encoded data according to a different encoding protocol or with different encoding parameters. The first parametric extension data is fed to an extension data processor (109) which generates second parametric extension data directly from the first parametric extension data. The second encoded data and the second parametric extension data is combined in an output processor (107) to generate a transcoded signal comprising separately determined parametric extension data. The parametric extension data may be Spectral Band Replication (SBR) or Parametric Stereo (PS) extension data for an audio bitstream. Improved quality and reduced complexity is achieved by the separate transcoding of the parametric extension data.
