Abstract: Multiple virtual source locations may be defined for a volume within which audio objects can move. A set-up process for rendering audio data may involve receiving reproduction speaker location data and pre-computing gain values for each of the virtual sources according to the reproduction speaker location data and each virtual source location. The gain values may be stored and used during “run time,” during which audio reproduction data are rendered for the speakers of the reproduction environment. During run time, for each audio object, contributions from virtual source locations within an area or volume defined by the audio object position data and the audio object size data may be computed. A set of gain values for each output channel of the reproduction environment may be computed based, at least in part, on the computed contributions. Each output channel may correspond to at least one reproduction speaker of the reproduction environment.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to reverberation generation for headphone virtualization. A method of generating one or more components of a binaural room impulse response (BRIR) for headphone virtualization is described. In the method, directionally-controlled reflections are generated, wherein directionally-controlled reflections impart a desired perceptual cue to an audio input signal corresponding to a sound source location. Then at least the generated reflections are combined to obtain the one or more components of the BRIR. Corresponding system and computer program products are described as well.

Abstract: First video frames that include a visual object and a non-spatialized first audio segment that includes an auditory event are received. If that second video frames do not include the visual object and a first time difference between the first video frames and the second video frames does not exceed a certain time, a motion vector of the visual object is used to assign a spatial location to the auditory event in at least one of the second video frames. A second audio segment that includes the auditory event and third video frames are received. If the third video frames do not include the visual object and a second time difference between the first video frames and the third video frames exceeds the certain time, the auditory event is assigned to a diffuse sound field. An audio output that conveys spatial locations of the visual object is output.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for rendering an object-based audio signal considering an obstacle are disclosed. A method for rendering an object-based audio signal according to an example embodiment, the method includes identifying an object-based input signal and metadata for the input signal, generating a binaural filter based on the metadata using a binaural room impulse response (BRIR), determining, based on the metadata, whether an obstacle is present between a listener and an object, modifying the generated binaural filter when it is determined that the obstacle is present, and generating a rendered output signal by convolving the modified binaural filter and the input signal.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a sound processing apparatus and method, and a program for enabling more stable localization of a sound image.A virtual speaker is assumed to exist on the lower side among the sides of a tetragon having its corners formed with four speakers surrounding a target sound image position on a spherical plane. Three-dimensional VBAP is performed with respect to the virtual speaker and the two speakers located at the upper right and the upper left, to calculate gains of the two speakers at the upper right and the upper left and the virtual speaker, the gains being to be used for fixing a sound image at the target sound image position. Further, two-dimensional VBAP is performed with respect to the lower right and lower left speakers, to calculate gains of the lower right and lower left speakers, the gains being to be used for fixing a sound image at the position of the virtual speaker. The values obtained by multiplying these gains by the gain of the virtual speaker are set as the gains of the lower right and lower left speakers for fixing a sound image at the target sound image position. The present technology can be applied to sound processing apparatuses.
