Abstract:
Disclosed is an LPC residual signal encoding/decoding apparatus of an MDCT based unified voice and audio encoding device. The LPC residual signal encoding apparatus analyzes a property of an input signal, selects an encoding method of an LPC filtered signal, and encode the LPC residual signal based on one of a real filterbank, a complex filterbank, and an algebraic code excited linear prediction (ACELP).
Abstract:
Provided are a method of encoding and decoding a multichannel audio signal, and an encoder and a decoder to perform the method. The present invention may perform encoding into consideration of a size of bit to be allocated based on a feature of audio signal for each channel with respect to an audio signal having a plurality of channels, thereby enhancing an encoding efficiency of the multichannel audio signal.
Abstract:
An apparatus for providing audio metadata, the apparatus including an audio data generating unit to generate audio metadata including channel information of raw audio data, and an audio metadata transmitting unit to transmit the generated audio metadata to an apparatus for reproducing audio data.
Abstract:
An encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus in a transform between a Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (MDCT)-based coder and a different coder are provided. The encoding apparatus may encode additional information to restore an input signal encoded according to the MIDCT-based coding scheme, when switching occurs between the MDCT-based coder and the different coder. Accordingly, an unnecessary bitstream may be prevented from being generated, and minimum additional information may be encoded.
Abstract:
A rendering method of an object-based audio signal and an apparatus for performing the same are provided. The rendering method of an object-based audio signal includes obtaining a rendered audio signal, performing clipping prevention on the rendered audio signal using a first limiter, mixing a signal output by the first limiter using a mixer, and performing clipping prevention on the mixed signal using a second limiter.

Abstract:
A method of rendering object-based audio and an electronic device performing the method are disclosed. The method includes identifying metadata of object-based audio, identifying an audio source distance between the object-based audio and a listener using the metadata, determining a minimum distance of the object-based audio to apply attenuation according to the audio source distance, based on a reference distance of the object-based audio in the metadata, and rendering the object-based audio using the audio source distance and the minimum distance.

A method of rendering object audio and electronic device for performing the method are provided. The method includes identifying object audio and metadata including a reference distance of the object audio and an audio source distance between the object audio and a listener, identifying a maximum distance of the object audio determined based on the reference distance, when the audio source distance is less than or equal to the maximum distance, determining a gain of the object audio based on the audio source distance and the reference distance, and rendering the object audio according to the gain of the object audio.
Abstract:
A method, executed by a processor for compressing an audio signal in multiple layers, may comprise: (a) restoring, in a highest layer, an input audio signal as a first signal; (b) restoring, in at least one intermediate layer, a signal obtained by subtracting an upsampled signal, which is obtained by upsampling the audio signal restored in the highest layer or an immediately previous intermediate layer, from the input audio signal as a second signal; and (c) restoring, in a lowest layer, a signal obtained by subtracting an upsampled signal, which is obtained by upsampling the audio signal restored in an intermediate layer immediately before the lowest layer, from the input audio signal as a third signal, wherein the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal are combined to output a final restoration audio signal.
