Abstract: The invention is aimed at improving the quality of the filtering by transfer functions of HRTF type of signals (L, R) compressed in a transformed domain, for binaural playing on two channels (L-BIN, R-BIN), using a combination of HRTF filters (hL,L, hL,R) including a decorrelated version (HRTF-C*, HRTF-E*) of a few of these filters. For this purpose, a decorrelation cue is given with spatialization parameters (SPAT) accompanying the compressed signals (L, R). The invention makes it possible to improve the broadening in the binaural rendition of audio scenes initially in a multi-channel format.

Abstract: The invention proposes the synthesis of a signal consisting of consecutive blocks. It proposes more particularly, on receipt of such a signal, to replace, by synthesis, lost or erroneous blocks of this signal. To this end, it proposes an attenuation of the overvoicing during the generation of a signal synthesis. More particularly, a voiced excitation is generated on the basis of the pitch period (T) estimated or transmitted at the previous block, by optionally applying a correction of plus or minus a sample of the duration of this period (counted in terms of number of samples), by constituting groups (A′,B′,C′,D′) of at least two samples and inverting positions of samples in the groups, randomly (B′,C′) or in a forced manner. An over-harmonicity in the excitation generated is thus broken and the effect of overvoicing in the synthesis of the generated signal is thereby attenuated.
