Abstract: The invention provides methods and devices for stereo encoding and decoding using complex prediction in the frequency domain. In one embodiment, a decoding method, for obtaining an output stereo signal from an input stereo signal encoded by complex prediction coding and comprising first frequency-domain representations of two input channels, comprises the upmixing steps of: (i) computing a second frequency-domain representation of a first input channel; and (ii) computing an output channel on the basis of the first and second frequency-domain representations of the first input channel, the first frequency-domain representation of the second input channel and a complex prediction coefficient. The upmixing can be suspended responsive to control data.

Abstract: The application relates to audio encoder and decoder systems. An embodiment of the encoder system comprises a downmix stage for generating a downmix signal and a residual signal based on a stereo signal. In addition, the encoder system comprises a parameter determining stage for determining parametric stereo parameters such as an inter-channel intensity difference and an inter-channel cross-correlation. Preferably, the parametric stereo parameters are time- and frequency-variant. Moreover, the encoder system comprises a transform stage. The transform stage generates a pseudo left/right stereo signal by performing a transform based on the downmix signal and the residual signal. The pseudo stereo signal is processed by a perceptual stereo encoder. For stereo encoding, left/right encoding or mid/side encoding is selectable. Preferably, the selection between left/right stereo encoding and mid/side stereo encoding is time- and frequency-variant.

Abstract: Methods and systems encoding a stereo audio signal having an original left channel and an original right channel are disclosed. The method includes generating a downmix signal and a residual signal based on the stereo audio signal and determining one or more stereo parameters based on the stereo audio signal. The residual signal covers only a part of an audio frequency range of the stereo signal, and the one or more stereo parameters describing a stereo image of the stereo audio signal. The method further includes analyzing the stereo audio signal and selecting, based on the analyzing, left/right perceptual encoding or mid/side perceptual encoding in a time variant manner.

Abstract: Methods and systems encoding a stereo audio signal having a left channel and a right channel are disclosed. The system includes a downmixer for generating a downmix signal and a residual signal from the stereo audio signal in selected frequency bands representing only part of a used audio frequency range of the stereo audio signal, and a decision module for selecting, in a time variant manner, either left/right perceptual encoding or mid/side perceptual encoding. The system also includes a parameter estimator for estimating stereo parameters for reconstructing a stereo image of a portion of the stereo audio signal, and a perceptual encoder for performing either left/right perceptual encoding or mid/side perceptual encoding based on the selecting to generate an encoded output signal. Finally, the system includes a bitstream generator for creating a bitstream signal comprising the encoded output signal.
