Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for generating left and right "surround" sound signals from a stereo sound signal intended to be broadcast by a 5.1 type sound system.
- the invention aims in particular to provide a method of processing the surround sound providing a good sound reproduction while consuming few resources.
- the invention finds a particularly advantageous application in the field of sound processing for home theater, stereos, computers, mobile phones or any other device having a sound diffusion system with limited computing capabilities or not for the treatment of sound.
- a 5.1 broadcasting system is an acoustic system comprising two front (left and right) lanes, two rear lanes (left and right), one Low Frequency Effect lane and one central lane.
- the sound broadcast by this kind of system is a so-called "surround" sound that provides a feeling of envelopment to the listener.
- the left and right signals forming a stereo signal are each composed of 3 distinct components:
- the purpose of the invention is to create these surround components in order to reproduce a good quality surround sound effect while limiting the calculation time during the extraction of these components.
- the stereo signals of its left and right are subtracted from each other, so as to eliminate the correlated common component and in phase of the signals. stereo. Then, the signal resulting from this subtraction step is decorrelated by means of a decorrelation module, so as to obtain the left and right "surround" components of the stereo signal ready to be broadcast, if necessary after parametric equalization. on the rear tracks of a 5.1-type system.
- the invention therefore relates to a method for generating left and right sound signals called “surround” signals from a stereo sound signal composed of a signal of its left and a signal of its right, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
- the "surround" signals are intended to be broadcast on the rear channels of a 5.1 type sound system.
- the input subtraction signal of a first and of a second elementary block is applied, the output signal of these blocks corresponding respectively to the signal of its right and to the signal of its left surround, the output signal of each block is the combination of the input signal of the block weighted by a first gain, and the combination of the output signal of the weighted block by a second gain and input signals of the delayed block by a delay line.
- s-i being the output signal of the first block corresponding to one of the surround sound signals (right or left),
- gi, g 2 being respectively the values of the first gain and the second gain of the first block
- D-i being the value of the number of delay samples introduced by the delay line
- s 2 (n) e 2 (n) .g 3 + s 2 (n-D 2 ) .g 4 + e 2 (n-D 2 ),
- s 2 being the output signal of the second block corresponding to the other surround sound signal (right if s corresponds to the left or left if Si corresponds to the right),
- g 3 , g 4 being respectively the values of the first gain and the second gain of the second block
- D2 being the value of the number of delay samples introduced by the delay line.
- the gain values within a block are opposite to each other, the value of the first gain being opposite to the value of the second gain.
- the gain values of the first block are opposite with respect to the gain values of the second block, the value of the first gain of the first block being opposite to the value of the first gain of the first block. second block; while the value of the second gain of the first block is opposite to the value of the second gain of the second block.
- the gain values of the first and second elementary blocks have the same absolute value.
- the first gain of the first block and the second gain of the second block are g; while the second gain of the first block and the first gain of the second block are worth -g.
- the delay introduced by the line of the first block and the delay by the line of the second block are equal.
- the subtraction signal is first filtered using a high frequency filter and only the filtered high frequency part is applied to the input of the elementary blocks.
- the low frequency part of the left and right signals of the stereo signal is filtered
- the low frequency parts thus filtered are delayed by a delay with the aid of third delay lines, and
- the low frequency part thus delayed is summed with the output signals of the elementary blocks to obtain the signal of its surround right and the signal of its left surround.
- the phase and the gain of the output signals of each elementary block are modified as a function of frequency by means of parametric filtering cells for modifying the sound perception of the left and right surround sound signals.
- the invention furthermore relates to a method of generating surround signals intended to be broadcast by an acoustic system composed of front / rear loudspeakers from a stereo sound signal composed of a signal of its left and a signal of its right, characterized in that it presents the following step: the "surround" sound signals are generated using the method according to one of the preceding claims and are applied to the rear channels of the acoustic system.

- the signals of its left L and right R are applied at the input of a subtractor 11 in order to suppress the component C of the left and right signals R and retain only the components L 0 , R 0 and the S component of the stereo signals L and R.
- the signal is subtracted from its right R to the left-hand signal L (LR), but it would be possible to perform the inverse operation (RL).
- the subtraction signal LR obtained at the output of the subtractor 1 1 is then applied at the input of a signal decorrelation module 12 which makes it possible to create, from the subtraction signal LR, two decorrelated signals relative to one another. to the other: the signal from its left “surround” Ls and the signal from its right “surround” R s .
- the decorrelation module 12 is formed of two input 13.1-13.2 blocks from which the LR subtraction signal is applied, the output s1, s2 of these blocks 13.1, 13.2 respectively corresponding to the signal of its right. surround R s and the left surround signal L s .

- the output signal of the delay line 14.1, 14.2 is applied to another input of the second adder 17.1, 17.2, the output signal of this second adder 17.1, 17.2 corresponding to the output signal if, s 2 of the block and therefore to the signal of its right Rs or left l_s surround.
- s 1 (n) e 1 (n) .g + s 1 (n-D1) .g 2 + e (n-D1)
- gi, g 2 being respectively the values of the first gain and the second gain of the first block 13.
- D1 being the value of the number of delay samples introduced by the delay line 14.1.
- g 3 , g 4 being respectively the values of the first gain and the second gain of the second block 13.2

These cells 25.1, 25.2 have the effect of modifying the perception of the output signals if, s 2 of these blocks 13.1, 13.2, because even if the signals si, s 2 have substantially identical levels, there are differences in their perception of because of the decorrelation they have with respect to each other. As a result, it may be useful to modify these signals perceptively so that the overall auditory impression is the best possible.
- the equalizing cells 25.1, 25.2 each comprise a filter 26.1, 26.2 whose type, the gain and the phase can be adjusted according to different frequency bands of the signals si, s 2 and a gain g 5 , g6 which acts on the entire spectrum of signals if, s 2 .
