Abstract:
Provided are a signal processing method capable of inserting additional information into a bitstream without departing from the AC-3 standard or the Enhanced AC-3 standard. The signal processing method includes: extracting additional information which is for performing at least one of a channel number expansion of an audio signal in an encoding apparatus and a three-dimensional (3D) reproduction of the audio signal in the encoding apparatus; encoding the audio signal according to a predetermined standard; formatting the encoded audio signal into a bitstream including bitstream information, at least one audio block and an auxiliary data field; and inserting the additional information into at least one of additional bitstream information included in the bitstream information, a skip field included in the audio block and auxiliary data bits included in the auxiliary data field.
Abstract:
A method of encoding a multi-channel 3-dimensional (3D) audio signal mixed with a multi-channel 3D object signal is provided. The method includes: obtaining a location parameter indicating a virtual location of the multi-channel 3D object signal on a multi-channel speaker layout based on a gain value of the multi-channel 3D object signal for each channel; and encoding the multi-channel 3D audio signal and the location parameter.
Abstract:
An audio signal processing method includes: receiving an audio signal comprising consecutive frames; generating a first encoding parameter corresponding to a first frame among the consecutive frames and a second encoding parameter corresponding to a second frame adjacent to the first frame; and generating at least one interpolated parameter based on the first encoding parameter and the second encoding parameter.
Abstract:
An audio reproducing method for quickly and correctly extracting extra data, including: receiving a data stream including the extra data including an end marker disposed immediately before main data and data length information, which is length information of the extra data, disposed immediately before the end marker; checking the presence/absence of the end marker; and if the end marker exists, extracting the extra data by using the data length information.
Abstract:
Provided is a signal processing method for processing a bitstream, an information storage medium including the bitstream, an encoding apparatus, and a decoding apparatus. The signal processing method includes: receiving a bitstream including additional information; extracting first information which is information associated with extraction of the additional information and is included in at least one of additional bitstream information, a skip field, and auxiliary data bits, which are included in the bitstream; and extracting and decoding the additional information by using the first information.
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.
Abstract:
A signal processing method performed by an encoding apparatus that down-mixes first through n channel signals to a mono-signal, an encoding apparatus, a decoding apparatus, and a decoding method are provided. The signal processing method includes: generating a spatial parameter between a reference channel signal that is from among the first through n channel signals, and residual channel signals from among the first through n channel signals except for the reference channel signal; and encoding and transmitting the spatial parameter to a decoding apparatus, whereby a down-mixed mono-signal may be exactly restored to original channel input signals.
