Abstract:
Volume leveler controller and controlling method are disclosed. In one embodiment, A volume leveler controller includes an audio content classifier for identifying the content type of an audio signal in real time; and an adjusting unit for adjusting a volume leveler in a continuous manner based on the content type as identified. The adjusting unit may configured to positively correlate the dynamic gain of the volume leveler with informative content types of the audio signal, and negatively correlate the dynamic gain of the volume leveler with interfering content types of the audio signal.

Abstract:
An audio object including audio content and object metadata is received. The object metadata indicates an object spatial position of the audio object to be rendered by audio speakers in a playback environment. Based on the object spatial position and source spatial positions of the audio speakers, initial gain values for the audio speakers are determined. The initial gain values can be used to select a set of audio speakers from among the audio speakers. Based on the object spatial position and a set of source spatial positions at which the set of audio speakers are respectively located in the playback environment, a set of non-negative optimized gain values for the set of audio speakers is determined. The audio object at the object spatial position is rendered with the set of optimized gain values for the set of audio speakers.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for audio classifying and processing are disclosed. In one embodiment, an audio processing apparatus includes an audio classifier for classifying an audio signal into at least one audio type in real time; an audio improving device for improving experience of audience; and an adjusting unit for adjusting at least one parameter of the audio improving device in a continuous manner based on the confidence value of the at least one audio type.
Abstract:
A method of audio source separation from audio content is disclosed. The method includes determining a spatial parameter of an audio source based on a linear combination characteristic of the audio source and an orthogonality characteristic of two or more audio sources to be separated in the audio content. The method also includes separating the audio source from the audio content based on the spatial parameter. Corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to source separation in audio content. A method for separating sources from audio content is disclosed, the audio content being of a multi-channel format based on a plurality of channels. The method comprises performing a component analysis on the audio content for each of the plurality of channels to generate a plurality of components, each of the plurality of components comprising a plurality of time-frequency tiles in full frequency band; generating at least one dominant source with at least one of the time-frequency tiles from the plurality of the components and separating the sources from the audio content by estimating spatial parameters and spectral parameters based on the dominant source. Corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to audio object extraction. A method for audio object extraction from audio content of a format based on a plurality of channels is disclosed. The method comprises applying audio object extraction on individual frames of the audio content at least partially based on frequency spectral similarities among the plurality of channels. The method further comprises performing audio object composition across the frames of the audio content, based on the audio object extraction on the individual frames, to generate a track of at least one audio object. Corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Audio processing method and audio processing apparatus, and training method are described. According to embodiments of the application, an accent identifier is used to identify accent frames from a plurality of audio frames, resulting in an accent sequence comprised of probability scores of accent and/or non-accent decisions with respect to the plurality of audio frames. Then a tempo estimator is used to estimate a tempo sequence of the plurality of audio frames based on the accent sequence. The embodiments can be well adaptive to the change of tempo, and can be further used to tracking beats properly.
