    Abstract: M audio input channels, each associated with a spatial direction, are translated to N audio output channels, each associated with a spatial direction, wherein M and N are positive whole integers, M is three or more, and N is three or more, by deriving the N audio output channels from the M audio input channels, wherein one or more of the M audio input channels is associated with a spatial direction other than a spatial direction with which any of the N audio output channels is associated, and at least one of the one or more of the M audio input channels is mapped to a respective set of at least three of the N output channels. At least three output channels of a set may be associated with contiguous spatial directions.

    Abstract: A method performed in an audio decoder for decoding M encoded audio channels representing N audio channels is disclosed. The method includes receiving a bitstream containing the M encoded audio channels and a set of spatial parameters, decoding the M encoded audio channels, and extracting the set of spatial parameters from the bitstream. The method also includes analyzing the M audio channels to detect a location of a transient, decorrelating the M audio channels, and deriving N audio channels from the M audio channels and the set of spatial parameters. A first decorrelation technique is applied to a first subset of each audio channel and a second decorrelation technique is applied to a second subset of each audio channel The first decorrelation technique represents a first mode of operation of a decorrelator, and the second decorrelation technique represents a second mode of operation of the decorrelator.

    Abstract: Received audio data may include a first set of frequency coefficients and a second set of frequency coefficients. Spatial parameters for at least part of the second set of frequency coefficients may be estimated, based at least in part on the first set of frequency coefficients. The estimated spatial parameters may be applied to the second set of frequency coefficients to generate a modified second set of frequency coefficients. The first set of frequency coefficients may correspond to a first frequency range (for example, an individual channel frequency range) and the second set of frequency coefficients may correspond to a second frequency range (for example, a coupled channel frequency range). Combined frequency coefficients of a composite coupling channel may be based on frequency coefficients of two or more channels. Cross-correlation coefficients, between frequency coefficients of a first channel and the combined frequency coefficients, may be computed.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for embedding data (e.g., metadata for use during post-processing) in a stereo audio signal comprising frames. Each of the frames has a saturation value, and data are embedded in the stereo audio signal by modifying the signal to generate a modulated stereo audio signal comprising a sequence of modulated frames having modulated saturation values indicative of the embedded data. Typically, one data bit is embedded in each frame of an input stereo audio signal by modifying the frame to produce a modulated frame whose modulated saturation value matches a target value indicative of the data bit. In other embodiments, a method for extracting data from a stereo audio signal in which the data have been embedded in accordance with an embodiment of the inventive embedding method. Other aspects are systems (e.g., programmed processors) configured to perform any embodiment of the inventive method.
