    摘要: The purpose of the invention is to bridge the gap between parametric multi-channel audio coding and matrixed-surround multi-channel coding by gradually improving the sound of an up-mix signal while raising the bit-rate consumed by the side-information starting from 0 up to the bit-rates of the parametric methods. More specifically, it provides a method of flexibly choosing an “operating point” somewhere between matrixed-surround (no side-information, limited audio quality) and fully parametric reconstruction (full side-information rate required, good quality). This operating point can be chosen dynamically (i.e. varying over time) and in response to the permissible side-information rate, as it is dictated by the individual application.

    摘要: In a case of transient audio input signals, in a multi-channel audio reconstruction, uncorrelated output signals are generated from an audio input signal in that the audio input signal is mixed with a representation of the audio input signal delayed by a delay time such that, in a first time interval, a first output signal corresponds to the audio input signal, and a second output signal corresponds to the delayed representation of the audio input signal, wherein, in a second time interval, the first output signal corresponds to the delayed representation of the audio input signal, and the second output signal corresponds to the audio input signal.

    摘要: In a multi-channel encoder generating several different parameter sets for reconstructing a multi-channel output signal using at least one transmission channel, the data stream is written such that the two parameter sets are decodable independently of each other. Thus, a multi-channel decoder is enabled to skip a parameter set which is marked as optional and/or has a higher version number when reading the data stream and still to perform a valid multi-channel reconstruction using a data set marked as mandatory or a data set having a sufficiently low version number. This achieves a flexible encoder/decoder concept suitable for future updates characterized by backward compatibility and reliability.

    摘要: According to an inventive scheme for introducing a watermark into an information signal, the information signal is at first transferred from a time representation to a spectral/modulation spectral representation). The information signal is then manipulated in the spectral/modulation spectral representation in dependence on the watermark to be introduced to obtain a modified spectral/modulation spectral representation, and subsequently an information signal provided with a watermark is formed based on the modified spectral/modulation spectral representation. An advantage is that, due to the fact that the watermark is embedded and/or derived in the spectral/modulation spectral representation or range, traditional correlation attacks as are used in watermark methods based on a spread-band modulation cannot succeed easily.

    摘要: The present invention is based on the finding that a reconstructed output channel, reconstructed with a multi-channel reconstructor using at least one downmix channel derived by downmixing a plurality of original channels and using a parameter representation including additional information on a temporal fine structure of an original channel can be reconstructed efficiently with high quality, when a generator for generating a direct signal component and a diffuse signal component based on the downmix channel is used. The quality can be essentially enhanced, if only the direct signal component is modified such that the temporal fine structure of the reconstructed output channel is fitting a desired temporal fine structure, indicated by the additional information on the temporal fine structure transmitted.

    摘要: A scalable encoder having a first encoder, a decoder and a second encoder includes, above that, a phase distorter to reduce a non-linear frequency-dependent phase distortion introduced by the first encoder or by the decoder, which results in an increased difference signal of a comparator. Thus, a difference signal with less energy is obtained that the second encoder can encode with less bits, that is with a higher bit efficiency.
