    Abstract: The present document relates to audio signal processing, in particular to an apparatus and a corresponding method for improving an audio signal of an FM stereo radio receiver. In particular, the present document relates to a method and system for reliably detecting the quality of a received FM stereo radio signal and for selecting an appropriate processing based on the detected quality. An apparatus (20) configured to estimate the quality of a received multi-channel FM radio signal is described. The received multi-channel FM radio signal is representable as a mid signal and a side signal, and the side signal is indicative of a difference between a left signal and a right signal. The apparatus (20) comprises a power determination unit configured to determine (101) a power of the mid signal, referred to as mid power, and a power of the side signal, referred to as side power; a ratio determination unit configured to determine (102) a ratio of the mid power and the side power, thereby yielding a mid-to-side ratio; and a quality determination unit configured to determine (105) a quality indicator of the received FM radio signal based at least on the mid-to-side ratio.

    Abstract: The present invention provides improvements to prior art audio codecs that generate a stereo-illusion through post-processing of a received mono signal. These improvements are accomplished by extraction of stereo-image describing parameters at the encoder side, which are transmitted and subsequently used for control of a stereo generator at the decoder side. Furthermore, the invention bridges the gap between simple pseudo-stereo methods, and current methods of true stereo-coding, by using a new form of parametric stereo coding. A stereo-balance parameter is introduced, which enables more advanced stereo modes, and in addition forms the basis of a new method of stereo-coding of spectral envelopes, of particular use in systems where guided HFR (High Frequency Reconstruction) is employed. As a special case, the application of this stereo-coding scheme in scalable HFR-based codecs is described.

    Abstract: A method performed by an audio decoder for reconstructing N audio channels from an audio signal containing M audio channels is disclosed. The method includes receiving a bitstream containing an encoded audio signal having M audio channels and a set of spatial parameters, the set of spatial parameters including an inter-channel intensity difference parameter and an inter-channel coherence parameter. The encoded audio bitstream is then decoded to obtain a decoded frequency domain representation of the M audio channels, and at least a portion of the frequency domain representation is decorrelated with an all-pass filter having a fractional delay. The all-pass filter is attenuated at locations of a transient. A matrixed version of the decorrelated signals are summed with a matrixed version of the decoded frequency domain representation to obtain N audio signals that collectively having N audio channels where M is less than N.
