    摘要: Jointly processed stereophonic audio signal properties are identified using a stereophonic signal as reference signal and creating a signal for testing by processing the stereophonic signal, e.g. by coding and subsequently decoding it. Both signals are transformed into the frequency domain to create representative spectral data for the respective subbands. Correlation coefficients are determined for each subband both of the reference signal and also of the signal for testing on the basis of the spectral data of the channels of the reference signal or of the signal for testing. From the comparison of the correlation coefficients belonging to the same subband, jointly processed stereophonic audio signals are detected if at least one of the correlation coefficients of the signal for testing greatly exceeds the correlation coefficient of the reference signal for the same subband.

    摘要: In the case of coding a plurality of signals which are not independent of e another, a selection of the suitable type of coding is made as a function of a similarity measure. According to one aspect of the invention, the similarity measure is determined by firstly coding one of the signals according to the intensity-stereo method and then decoding it in order to create a signal affected by coding error, whereupon the latter signal and the associated non-coded signal are transformed into the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, a selection or evaluation of the actually audible spectral components, as well as of the signal affected by coding error and of the associated signal not affected by coding error, is undertaken using a listening threshold which is determined by a psycho-acoustic calculation. Intensity-stereo coding is undertaken in the case of a high similarity measure, whereas otherwise a separate coding of the channels is performed.

    摘要: In a method of coding a plurality of audio signals, the left and the right basic channel as well as the central channel are combined by joint stereo coding so as to obtain a jointly coded signal, which is decoded so as to provide simulated decoded signals. The simulated decoded signals and two surround channels are combined by matricization by means of a compatibility matrix so as to form compatible signals which are suitable for decoding by existing decoders. In order to avoid audible disturbances caused by excessive energy contents of the compatible signals, which would occur if joint stereo coding and decoding were carried out prior to carrying out the matricization, the compatible signals or the simulated decoded signals are dynamically weighted by means of a dynamic correction factor in such a way that the compatible signals are approximated with regard to their energy to the energy of signals which would be obtained if the two basic channels and the central channel as well as the surround channels were matricized directly.

    摘要: In coding of an audio signal, coded signals with low quality and bit rate on the one hand and coded signals with high quality and bit rate on the other hand are transmitted to a decoder. At first, the audio signal is coded with low bit rate and is transmitted to the decoder before an additional coded signal is transmitted to the decoder, which either alone or together with the first coded signal upon decoding thereof provides a decoded signal with high quality within the decoder. In this manner, a low-quality decoded signal is generated first in the decoder before decoding of the high-quality signal is possible.

    摘要: An integer transform, which provides integer output values, carries out the TDAC function of a MDCT in the time domain before the forward transform. In overlapping windows, this results in a Givens rotation which may be represented by lifting matrices, wherein time-discrete sampled values of an audio signal may at first be summed up on a pair-wise basis to build a vector so as to be sequentially provided with a lifting matrix. After each multiplication of a vector by a lifting matrix, a rounding step is carried out such that, on the output-side, only integers will result. By transforming the windowed integer sampled value with an integer transform, a spectral representation with integer spectral values may be obtained. The inverse mapping with an inverse rotation matrix and corresponding inverse lifting matrices results in an exact reconstruction.

    摘要: For characterizing an information signal having an amplitude-time waveform with local extreme values, at first the local extreme values of the information signal are determined, wherein a local extreme value is defined by a time instant and an amplitude. Furthermore, area information of valleys or mountains of the information signal in case of a one-dimensional amplitude of the information signal or volume information in case of a two-dimensional amplitude of the information signal of valleys or mountains is ascertained. A valley or mountain is defined by a temporal section of the information signal, wherein the section of the information signal extends from the time instant of a local extreme value to a temporarily adjacent value of the information signal having the same amplitude as the local extreme value. Area or volume information of several mountains or valleys is characteristic for the information signal and permits further characterization of the information signal, build-up of an information signal database, or identification of an information signal on the basis of an existing information signal database. Area or volume information is on the one hand characteristic for the information signal and on the other hand, due to its integral nature, robust against information signal changes in form of overlays or distortions.

    摘要: Devices and methods for generating encrypted data, for playing encrypted data and for re-signing originally signed encrypted data are based on the encrypted data, apart from the encrypted media information, to include the information required for decrypting the data and additionally a signature of who has generated the encrypted data. Thus the origin of the encrypted data can be traced back. In particular, passing on the encrypted data to a limited extent by the producer of the *encrypted data, for example to friends or acquaintances, is allowed, while only a mass reproduction of the encrypted data is considered as pirate copying. The pirate copier can, however, be found out with the help of the signature, wherein the signature is optionally protected by an embedded watermark signature. Because this is a concept wherein, when being used legally, only encrypted data occur, the unauthorized removal of the encryption is a statutory offence. The inventive concept makes possible finding the offender and at the same time considers ownerships of the operators with regard to a limited passing-on of media information, and thus has the potential of being accepted on the market.

    摘要: In a method of coding discrete time signals (X1) sampled with a first sampling rate, second time signals (x2) are generated using the first time signals having a bandwidth corresponding to a second sampling rate, with the second sampling rate being lower than the first sampling rate. The second time signals are coded in accordance with a first coding algorithm. The coded second signals (X2c) are decoded again in order to obtain coded/decoded second time signals (X2cd) having a bandwidth corresponding to the second sampling frequency. The first time signals, by frequency domain transformation, become first spectral values (X1). Second spectral values (X2cd) are generated from the coded/decoded second time signals, the second spectral values being a representation of the coded/decoded time signals in the frequency domain. To obtain weighted spectral values, the first spectral values are weighted by means of the second spectral values, with the first and second spectral values having the same frequency and time resolution. The weighted spectral values (Xb) are coded in accordance with a second coding algorithm in consideration of a psychoacoustic model and written into a bit stream. Weighting the first spectral values and the second spectral values comprises the subtraction of the second spectral values from the first spectral values in to obtain differential spectral values.
