But because the most suitable sound quality cannot be obtained with an intermediate bit rate, it cannot be said to be beneficial to use a fixed crossover frequency (ie 1.5kHz)

Embodiment approach 1

[0082] The embodiments shown below are merely examples of various progressive principles of the present invention, and those in the industry can easily understand that various changes can be added to the detailed description shown below. Accordingly, the present invention is to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims, and not by the following detailed specific examples.

[0083] Also, although an example of binaural-mono is given here, the present invention is not limited to the above. This can be generalized with M original channels and N downmix channels.

[0084] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an encoding device according to Embodiment 1. FIG. Fig. 3 shows the encoding process related to the present invention. The encoding device of this embodiment includes: a transform module 100, a downmix module 102, two energy envelope analyzers 104 for L(t, f) and R(t, f), and calculate the inter-channel Module 106 for phase sequence IPDL(b), modu...

Embodiment approach 2

[0144] Embodiment 2 relates to the energy envelope analysis module (104) shown in FIG. 3 . In the example of the segmentation method shown in FIG. 2 , the acoustic psychological characteristics of the ear cannot be utilized. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 , the characteristic of the ear that is low in sensitivity to high-frequency sounds is used to finely segment low frequencies and lower the accuracy of segmentation for high frequencies.

[0145] To achieve this, the frequency band of L(t,f) is further divided into "bands" (402). FIG. 4 shows three frequency bands from frequency band 0 (402) to frequency band 2 (404). For example, the high-frequency segment can only have one boundary (404) at most, and the frequency segment is divided into two parts according to this. In order to further save the number of bits, it is not allowed to divide the frequency segment of the highest frequency. In such cases, the well-known "intensity stereo" of the prior art is...

Embodiment approach 3

[0149]In the case of a high bit rate, simply using the reverberation signal to derive a multi-channel signal cannot obtain the transparency expected at a high bit rate. Therefore, in Embodiment 3, the differential signals Llf(t) and Rlf(t) subjected to non-fine quantization and the downmix signal are encoded separately and then sent to the decoding device, and the audio channel signals and The deviation of the original sound channel signal is corrected by the decoding means. Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a decoding device according to Embodiment 3. In the same figure, the part surrounded by the dotted line is the signal separation part, which uses the Lreverb and Rreverb obtained by premixing in the mixer 1 (322, 324) to adjust the phase of the premixed channel signal in the reverberation generation The separation is performed from the downmix signal in a processor (302). This decoding device includes: the above-mentioned signal separation part, tran...

Abstract

The three main processes in the conventional invention for encoding the multi-channel audio signal are: generation of a reverberation signal by using an all pass filter; division of a signal by time and a frequency axis for level adjustment; and mixing of the encoded binaural signal with the original signal encoded up to the fixed crossover frequency. These processes include the problems mentioned in this invention. The present invention presents three embodiments: an inter-channel interference queue is used to dynamically adjust the all pass filter coefficient so as to control spread of the reverberation; the signal division along the time axis is performed in small units for low frequency and in rough units for high frequency; the crossover frequency for mixing is controlled by the bit rate and when the original audio quantization is rough, the down mix signal is mixed with the original audio signal with a ratio decided by the inter-channel interference queue.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an encoding device for extracting a binaural cue from an audio signal to generate a downmix signal during encoding processing, and an audio signal for decoding a multi-channel signal by adding the binaural cue to the downmix signal during decoding processing decoding device. [0002] The present invention relates to a binaural encoding method in encoding processing, which uses a QMF (Quadrature Mirror Filter: Quadrature Mirror Filter) filter bank to convert a multi-channel audio signal into a time-frequency (T / F) representation . Background technique [0003] The invention relates to encoding and decoding of multi-channel audio signals. A main object of the present invention is to encode a digital audio signal while maintaining the maximum perceptual quality of the digital audio signal even when the bit rate is limited. The advantage is that when the bit rate becomes lower, the transmission bandwidth and storage capa...
