Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for encoding the frequency of a continuation sinusoidal signal and a method and apparatus for decoding the same. In the encoding method, a continuation sinusoidal signal successive to a sinusoidal signal in a previous section is extracted from a current section; a frequency of the continuation sinusoidal signal at the boundary between the current and previous sections is changed to a first frequency, based on representative frequencies of the continuation sinusoidal signal and at least one sinusoidal signal that belongs to a section adjacent to the current section and is successive to the continuation sinusoidal signal; and the first frequency is encoded.
Abstract:
A binaural decoder for an MPEG surround stream, which decodes an MPEG surround stream into a stereo 3D signal, and a decoding method thereof. The method includes dividing a compressed audio stream and head related transfer function (HRTF) data into subbands, selecting predetermined subbands of the HRTF data divided into subbands and filtering the HRTF data to obtain the selected subbands, decoding the audio stream divided into subbands into a stream of multi-channel audio data with respect to subbands according to spatial additional information, and binaural-synthesizing the HRTF data of the selected subbands with the multi-channel audio data of corresponding subbands.
Abstract:
Metadata includes information for effectively presenting content, and the information included in the metadata includes some information useful for encoding or decoding of multimedia data. Thus, although syntax information of the metadata is provided for an information search, an increase of encoding or decoding efficiency of data can be achieved by using strong connection between the syntax information and the data.

Encoding and decoding of residual signals are provided. In a method of encoding a residual signal of an audio signal, the residual signal is divided into a plurality of sections having different sizes, based on a change of the residual signal. Then, section division information representing information about the divided sections and section-by-section residual signal information representing characteristics of the sections of the residual signal are acquired. Thereafter, the residual signal is encoded based on the section division information and the section-by-section residual signal information.

The method includes decoding a bitstream; splitting the decoded bitstream into n sub-band signals; generating n transformed sub-band signals by transforming the n sub-band signals in a frequency domain; and generating synthesis audio signals by respectively multiplying the n transformed sub-band signals by values corresponding to synthesis filter bank coefficients.
Abstract:
A method of encoding stereo audio that minimizes a number of pieces of side information required for parametric-encoding and parametric-decoding of the stereo audio. The side information may include parameters about interchannel intensity difference (IID), interchannel correlation (IC), overall phase difference (OPD), and interchannel phase difference (IPD), which are required to restore the mono audio to the stereo audio.
