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:
An audio correction apparatus and an audio correction method. The audio correction method includes: receiving audio data, which may be input by a user and/or an instrument uttering sounds; detecting onset information by analyzing harmonic components of the received audio data; detecting pitch information of the received audio data based on the detected onset information; comparing the audio data with reference audio data and aligning the two based on the detected onset information and the detected pitch information; and correcting the aligned audio data to match the reference audio data.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of reproducing a virtual sound of two channels which adaptively reproduces a 2-channel stereo sound signal reproduced through a recording medium such as DVD, CD, or MP3 player etc., based on a listener's position. The method includes sensing a listener's position and recognizing distance and angle information about the listener's position, determining output gain values and delay values of two speakers based on the distance and angle information about the sensed listener's position and selecting localization filter coefficients in a predetermined table, and updating filter coefficients of a localization filter based on the selected localization filter coefficients and adjusting output levels and time delays of the two speakers from the determined gain values and delay values.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to an electronic apparatus including: a user input unit; an audio output unit; and a processor configured to identify whether a changing pattern of audio volume levels is present based on a history of the audio volume levels set by a user for a predetermined period of time, perform automatic volume-level control, by which an audio volume level of the audio output unit is controlled based on the changing pattern of the audio volume levels, based on presence of the corresponding pattern, and perform no automatic volume-level control, based on absence of the changing pattern of the audio volume levels.
