Abstract

An audio signal encoding device includes a downmix signal encoding unit 203 and an auxiliary information generation unit 204 . The downmix signal encoding unit 203 generates a downmix signal acquired by adding input signals each other using a predetermined method, encodes the downmix signal, and outputs downmix signal information 206 . The auxiliary information generation unit 204 generates auxiliary information 205 using the downmix signal and the downmix signal information 206 generated by the downmix signal encoding unit 203 . The auxiliary information generation unit 204 efficiently quantizes the auxiliary information 205 using human's characteristics of a perceptual direction of a sound source, a perceptual broadening, and a perceptual distance.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an audio signal encoding device, decoding device, method and program. Background technique [0002] As a conventional audio signal encoding method and decoding method, known methods include the ISO / IEC international standard method, commonly known as the MPEG method, and the like. Currently, ISO / IEC 13818-7, commonly known as MPEG2 AAC (Advanced Audio Coding, Advanced Audio Coding), etc., are widely used as high-quality coding methods even at low bit rates. There are currently multiple specification extensions to this approach. [0003] As one of them, there is a technology using information called spatial acoustic information (Spatial Cue Information) or auditory acoustic information (Binaural Cue). As an example of such a technology, there is a parametric stereo (Parametric Stereo) method specified in MPEG-4 Audio (ISO / IEC 14496-3), which is an ISO international standard specification (see Non-Patent Document 1). I...
