Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to audio encoding and decoding techniques, and more particularly to multi-channel audio encoding/decoding such as stereo coding/decoding.
- FIG. 1 A general example of an audio transmission system using multi-channel coding and decoding is schematically illustrated in Fig. 1.
- the overall system basically comprises a multi-channel audio encoder 100 and a transmission module 10 on the transmitting side, and a receiving module 20 and a multi-channel audio decoder 200 on the receiving side.
- the simplest way of stereophonic or multi-channel coding of audio signals is to encode the signals of the different channels separately as individual and independent signals, as illustrated in Fig. 2. However, this means that the redundancy among the plurality of channels is not removed, and that the bit-rate requirement will be proportional to the number of channels.
- Another basic way used in stereo FM radio transmission and which ensures compatibility with legacy mono radio receivers is to transmit a sum and a difference signal of the two involved channels.
- M/S stereo coding is similar to the described procedure in stereo FM radio, in a sense that it encodes and transmits the sum and difference signals of the channel sub-bands and thereby exploits redundancy between the channel sub-bands.
- the structure and operation of a coder based on M/S stereo coding is described, e.g. in reference [I].
- Intensity stereo on the other hand is able to make use of stereo irrelevancy. It transmits the joint intensity of the channels (of the different sub-bands) along with some location information indicating how the intensity is distributed among the channels. Intensity stereo does only provide spectral magnitude information of the channels, while phase information is not conveyed. For this reason and since temporal inter-channel information (more specifically the inter-channel time difference) is of major psycho- acoustical relevancy particularly at lower frequencies, intensity stereo can only be used at high frequencies above e.g. 2 kHz. An intensity stereo coding method is described, e.g. in reference [2].
- Binaural Cue Coding (BCC) is described in reference [3].
- BCC Binaural Cue Coding
- This method is a parametric multi-channel audio coding method.
- the basic principle of this kind of parametric coding technique is that at the encoding side the input signals from N channels are combined to one mono signal.
- the mono signal is audio encoded using any conventional monophonic audio codec.
- parameters are derived from the channel signals, which describe the multichannel image.
- the parameters are encoded and transmitted to the decoder, along with the audio bit stream.
- the decoder first decodes the mono signal and then regenerates the channel signals based on the parametric description of the multi-channel image.
- BCC Binaural Cue Coding
- the principle of the Binaural Cue Coding (BCC) method is that it transmits the encoded mono signal and so-called BCC parameters.
- the BCC parameters comprise coded inter-channel level differences and inter-channel time differences for sub-bands of the original multi-channel input signal.
- the decoder regenerates the different channel signals by applying sub-band-wise level and phase and/or delay adjustments of the mono signal based on the BCC parameters.
- M/S or intensity stereo is that stereo information comprising temporal inter-channel information is transmitted at much lower bit rates.
- BCC is computationally demanding and generally not perceptually optimized.
- the side information consists of predictor filters and optionally a residual signal.
- the predictor filters estimated by an LMS algorithm, when applied to the mono signal allow the prediction of the multi-channel audio signals. With this technique one is able to reach very low bit rate encoding of multi-channel audio sources, however at the expense of a quality drop.
- Fig. 3 displays a layout of a stereo codec, comprising a down-mixing module 120, a core mono codec 130, 230 and a parametric stereo side information encoder/decoder 140, 240.
- the down-mixing transforms the multi-channel (in this case stereo) signal into a mono signal.
- the objective of the parametric stereo codec is to reproduce a stereo signal at the decoder given the reconstructed mono signal and additional stereo parameters.
- This technique synthesizes the right and left channel signals by filtering sound source signals with so-called head-related filters.
- this technique requires the different sound source signals to be separated and can thus not generally be applied for stereo or multi-channel coding.
- the present invention overcomes these and other drawbacks of the prior art arrangements.
- Another particular object of the invention is to provide a method and apparatus for decoding an encoded multi-channel audio signal.
- Yet another particular object of the invention is to provide an improved audio transmission system.
- the invention relies on the basic principle of encoding a first signal representation of one or more of the multiple channels in a first encoding process, and encoding a second signal representation of one or more of the multiple channels in a second, filter-based encoding process.
- a general inventive concept of the invention is therefore to perform signal-adaptive filter smoothing in the second, filter-based encoding process or in the corresponding decoding process.
- the signal-adaptive filter smoothing is based on the procedure of estimating expected performance of the first encoding process and/or the second encoding process, and dynamically adapting the filter smoothing in dependence on the estimated performance.
- the filter smoothing it is possible to more flexibly control the filter smoothing so that it is performed only when really needed. Consequently, unnecessary reduction of the signal energy, for example when the expected coding performance is sufficient, can be avoided completely.
- the filter smoothing dependent on characteristics of the multi-channel audio input signal, such as inter-channel correlation characteristics, it is possible to first estimate the expected performance of the encoding process(es) and then adjust the degree and/or type of smoothing accordingly.
- the first encoding process may be a main encoding process and the first signal representation may be a main signal representation.
- the second encoding process may for example be an auxiliary/side signal process, and the second signal representation may then be a side signal representation such as a stereo side signal.
- the performance of a filter of the second encoding process is estimated based on characteristics of the multi-channel audio signal, and the filter smoothing is then preferably adapted in dependence on the estimated filter performance of the second encoding process.
- the filter smoothing is performed by modifying the filter in dependence on the estimated filter performance. This normally involves reducing the energy of the filter.
- an adaptive smoothing factor is determined in dependence on the estimated filter performance, and the filter is modified by means of the adaptive smoothing factor.
- the filter smoothing may be based on estimated expected performance of the second encoding process in general, and based on the ICP filter performance in particular.
- the ICP filter performance is typically representative of the prediction gain of the inter-channel prediction.
- the signal-adaptive filter smoothing proposed by the invention can be performed on the decoding side.
- the decoding side is responsive to information representative of signal-adaptive filter smoothing from the encoding side, and performs signal-adaptive filter smoothing in a corresponding second decoding process based on this information.
- the signal-adaptive information comprises a smoothing factor that depends on estimated performance of an encoding process on the encoding side.

- Fig. 9 is a schematic block diagram illustrating relevant parts of a side encoder and an associated control system according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 10 illustrates relevant parts of a decoder according to preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- the invention relates to multi-channel encoding/decoding techniques in audio applications, and particularly to stereo encoding/decoding in audio transmission systems and/or for audio storage.
- Examples of possible audio applications include phone conference systems, stereophonic audio transmission in mobile communication systems, various systems for supplying audio services, and multi-channel home cinema systems.
- BCC on the other hand is able to reproduce the stereo or multi-channel image even at low frequencies at low bit rates of e.g. 3 kbps since it also transmits temporal inter- channel information.
- this technique requires computationally demanding time-frequency transforms on each of the channels both at the encoder and the decoder.
- BCC does not attempt to find a mapping from the transmitted mono signal to the channel signals in a sense that their perceptual differences to the original channel signals are minimized.
- the LMS technique also referred to as inter-channel prediction (ICP), for multi- channel encoding, see [4], allows lower bit rates by omitting the transmission of the residual signal.
- ICP inter-channel prediction
- an unconstrained error minimization procedure calculates the filter such that its output signal matches best the target signal.
- several error measures may be used.
- the mean square error or the weighted mean square error are well known and are computationally cheap to implement.
- the accuracy of the ICP reconstructed signal is governed by the present inter-channel correlations.
- Bauer et al. [8] did not find any linear relationship between left and right channels in audio signals.
- strong inter-channel correlation is found in the lower frequency regions (0 — 2000 Hz) for speech signals.
- the ICP filter as means for stereo coding, will produce a poor estimate of the target signal.
- BCC uses overlapping windows in both analysis and synthesis.
- coding artifacts introduced by ICP filtering are perceived as more annoying than temporary reduction in stereo width. It has been recognized that the artifacts are especially annoying when the coding filter provides a poor estimate of the target signal; the poorer the estimate, the more disturbing artifacts. Therefore, a basic idea according to the invention is to introduce signal-adaptive filter smoothing as a new general concept for solving the problems of the prior art.
- Fig. 5 is a schematic block diagram of a multi-channel encoder according to an exemplary preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the multi-channel encoder basically comprises an optional pre-processing unit 110, an optional (linear) combination unit 120, a number of encoders 130, 140, a controller 150 and an optional multiplexor (MUX) unit 160.
- the number N of encoders is equal to or greater than 2, and includes a first encoder 130 and a second encoder 140, and possibly further encoders.
- the invention considers a multi-channel or polyphonic signal.
- the initial multi-channel input signal can be provided from an audio signal storage (not shown) or "live", e.g. from a set of microphones (not shown).
- the audio signals are normally digitized, if not already in digital form, before entering the multi-channel encoder.
- the multi-channel signal may be provided to the optional pre-processing unit 110 as well as an optional signal combination unit 120 for generating a number N of signal representations, such as for example a main signal representation and an auxiliary signal representation, and possibly further signal representations.
- the multi-channel or polyphonic signal may be provided to the optional preprocessing unit 110, where different signal conditioning procedures may be performed.
- the (optionally pre-processed) signals may be provided to an optional signal combination unit 120, which includes a number of combination modules for performing different signal combination procedures, such as linear combinations of the input signals to produce at least a first signal and a second signal.
- the first encoding process may be a main encoding process and the first signal representation may be a main signal representation.
- the second encoding process may for example be an auxiliary (side) signal process, and the second signal representation may then be an auxiliary (side) signal representation such as a stereo side signal.
- traditional stereo coding for example, the L and R channels are summed, and the sum signal is divided by a factor of two in order to provide a traditional mono signal as the first (main) signal.
- the L and R channels may also be subtracted, and the difference signal is divided by a factor of two to provide a traditional side signal as the second signal.
- any type of linear combination, or any other type of signal combination for that matter may be performed in the signal combination unit with weighted contributions from at least part of the various channels.
- the signal combination used by the invention is not limited to two channels but may of course involve multiple channels. It is also possible to generate more than two signals, as indicated in Fig. 5. It is even possible to use one of the input channels directly as a first signal, and another one of the input channels directly as a second signal. For stereo coding, for example, this means that the L channel may be used as main signal and the R channel may be used as side signal, or vice versa.
- a multitude of other variations also exist.
- a first signal representation is provided to the first encoder 130, which encodes the first signal according to any suitable encoding principle.
- a second signal representation is provided to the second encoder 140 for encoding the second signal. If more than two encoders are used, each additional signal representation is normally encoded in a respective encoder.
- the first encoder may be a main encoder
- the second encoder may be a side encoder
- the second side encoder 140 may for example include an adaptive inter-channel prediction (ICP) stage for generating signal reconstruction data based on the first signal representation and the second signal representation.
- ICP adaptive inter-channel prediction
- the first (main) signal representation may equivalently be deduced from the signal encoding parameters generated by the first encoder 130, as indicated by the dashed line from the first encoder.
- the overall multi-channel encoder also comprises a controller 150, which is configured to control a filter smoothing procedure in the second encoder 140 and/or in any of the additional encoders in a signal-adaptive manner in response to characteristics of the multi-channel audio signal.
- a controller 150 By making the filter smoothing dependent on characteristics of the multi-channel audio signal, such as inter-channel correlation characteristics, it is for example possible to let the controller 150 estimate the expected performance of the encoding process(es) based on the multi-channel audio signal and then adjust the degree and/or type of smoothing accordingly. This will provide a more flexible control so that filter smoothing is performed only when really needed. The better performance, the lesser degree of smoothing is required. The other way around, the worse expected performance of the encoding process, the more smoothing should be applied.
- the control system which may be realized as a separate controller 150 or integrated in the considered encoder, gives the appropriate control commands to the encoder.
- the output signals of the various encoders are preferably multiplexed into a single transmission (or storage) signal in the multiplexer unit 160. However, alternatively, the output signals may be transmitted (or stored) separately.
- encoding is typically performed on a frame-by-frame basis, one frame at a time, and each frame normally comprises audio samples within a pre-defined time period.
- Fig. 6 is a schematic flow diagram setting forth a basic multi-channel encoding procedure according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- step Sl a first signal representation of one or more audio channels is encoded in a first encoding process.
- step S2 a second signal representation of one or more audio channels is encoded in a second encoding process.
- step S3 filter smoothing is performed in the second encoding process or a corresponding decoding process in a signal-adaptive manner, in response to characteristics of the multi-channel audio signal.
- Fig. 7 is a more detailed schematic flow diagram illustrating an exemplary encoding procedure according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the first signal representation is encoded in the first encoding process.
- expected performance of the first encoding process and/or the second encoding process is estimated based on the multi-channel audio input signal.
- the filter smoothing in the second encoding process is dynamically configured based on the estimated performance. Alternatively, filter smoothing information may be transmitted to the decoding side, in step S 14, as will be explained below.
- the second signal representation is encoded in the second encoding process, preferably based on the adaptively configured filter smoothing (unless the filter smoothing should be performed on the decoding side).
- the overall decoding process is generally quite straight forward and basically involves reading the incoming data stream, (possibly interpreting data using transmitted control information), inverse quantization and final reconstruction of the multi-channel audio signal. More specifically, in response to first signal reconstruction data, an encoded first signal representation of at least one of said multiple channels is decoded in a first decoding process. In response to second signal reconstruction data, an encoded second signal representation of at least one of said multiple channels is decoded in a second decoding process.
- filter smoothing should be performed on the decoding side instead of on the encoding side, information representative of signal-adaptive filter smoothing will have to be transmitted from the encoding side (S 14 in Fig. 7). This enables the decoder to perform signal-adaptive filter smoothing in a corresponding second decoding process based on this information.
- stereophonic (two-channel) encoding and decoding are generally applicable to multiple channels. Examples include but are not limited to encoding/decoding 5.1 (front left, front centre, front right, rear left and rear right and subwoofer) or 2.1 (left, right and center subwoofer) multi-channel sound.
- Fig. 8 is a schematic block diagram illustrating relevant parts of an encoder according to an exemplary preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the encoder basically comprises a first (main) encoder 130 for encoding a first (main) signal such as a typical mono signal, a second (auxiliary/side) encoder 140 for (auxiliary/side) signal encoding, a controller 150 and an optional multiplexor unit 160.
- the controller 150 is adapted to receive the main signal representation and the side signal representation (or any other appropriate representations of the multi-channel audio signal) and configured to perform the necessary computations to provide adaptive control of the filter smoothing within the side encoder 140.
- the controller 150 may be a "separate" controller or integrated into the side encoder 140.
- the encoding parameters are preferably multiplexed into a single transmission or storage signal in the multiplexor unit 160. If filter smoothing is to be performed on the decoding side, the controller generates the appropriate smoothing information and the information is preferably sent to the decoding side via the multiplexor.
- Fig. 9 is a schematic block diagram illustrating relevant parts of a side encoder and an associated control system according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- the control system 150 includes a module for estimation of filter performance 152 and a module for filter smoothing configuration.
- the module 152 for estimation of filter performance preferably operates based on a main signal representation and a side signal representation of the multi-channel audio signal, and estimates the expected performance of a filter in the side encoder 140.
- the filter may for example be a parametric filter, such as an ICP filter, or any other suitable conventional filter known to the art.
- the performance may be calculated based on a prediction error. This may equivalently be expressed as a prediction gain.
- the module 154 for filter smoothing configuration makes the necessary adaptation of the filter smoothing settings in response to the estimated filter performance, and controls the filter smoothing in the side encoder accordingly.
- Fig. 10 is a schematic block diagram illustrating relevant parts of a decoder according to an exemplary preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the decoder basically comprises an optional demultiplexor unit 210, a first (main) decoder 230, a second (auxiliary/side) decoder 240, a controller 250, an optional signal combination unit 260 and an optional post-processing unit 270.
- the demultiplexor 210 preferably separates the incoming reconstruction information such as first (main) signal reconstruction data, second (auxiliary/side) signal reconstruction data and control information such as information on frame division configuration and filter lengths.
- the first (main) decoder 230 "reconstructs" the first (main) signal in response to the first (main) signal reconstruction data, usually provided in the form of first (main) signal representing encoding parameters.
- the second (auxiliary/side) decoder 240 preferably "reconstructs" the second (side) signal in response to quantized filter coefficients and the reconstructed first signal representation.
- the second (side) decoder 240 is also controlled by the controller 250, which may or may not be integrated into the side decoder. In this example, the controller 250 receives smoothing information such as a smoothing factor from the encoding side, and controls the side decoder 240 accordingly.
- inter-channel prediction (ICP) techniques utilize the inherent inter-channel correlation between the channels.
- channels are usually represented by the left and the right signals l(n), r(n), an equivalent representation is the mono signal m(n) (a special case of the main signal) and the side signal s(n). Both representations are equivalent and are normally related by the traditional matrix operation:
- the ICP technique aims to represent the side signal s(n) by an estimate s ⁇ ⁇ ) , which is obtained by filtering the mono signal m(n) through a time-varying FIR filter H(z) having N filter coefficients h t (i):
- N-I s(n) ⁇ h t (i)m(n ⁇ i) (2)
- the ICP filter derived at the encoder may for example be estimated by minimizing the mean squared error (MSE), or a related performance measure, for instance psycho- acoustically weighted mean square error, of the side signal prediction error e(n).
- MSE mean squared error
- the MSE is typically given by:
- the optimal filter coefficients are found by minimizing the MSE of the prediction error over all samples and are given by:
- P ss is the power of the side signal, also expressed as s ⁇ s.
- the sought filter vector h can now be calculated iteratively in the same way as (10):
- the optimal ICP (FIR) filter coefficients h opt may be estimated, quantized and sent to the decoder on a frame-by- frame basis.
- the filter coefficients are treated as vectors, which are efficiently quantized using vector quantization (VQ).
- VQ vector quantization
- the quantization of the filter coefficients is one of the most important aspects of the ICP coding procedure.
- the quantization noise introduced on the filter coefficients can be directly related to the loss in MSE.
- the target may not always be to minimize the MSE alone but to combine it with smoothing and regularization in order to be able to cope with the cases where there is no correlation between the mono and the side signal.
- the stereo width i.e. the side signal energy
- the stereo width is therefore intentionally reduced whenever a problematic frame is encountered.
- the worst-case scenario i.e. no ICP filtering at all
- the resulting stereo signal is reduced to pure mono.
- the frame is not problematic at all, the signal energy does not have to be reduced.
- the expected filtering performance such as expected prediction gain from the covariance matrix R and the correlation vector r , without having to perform the actual filtering. This is preferably done by a control system as previously described.
- coding artifacts are mainly present in the reconstructed side signal when the anticipated prediction gain is low or equivalently when the correlation between the mono and the side signal is low.
- a frame classification algorithm is constructed, which performs classification based on estimated level of prediction gain. For example, when the prediction gain (or the correlation) falls below a certain threshold, the covariance matrix used to derive the ICP filter can be modified according to:
- the value of the smoothing factor p can be made adaptive to facilitate different levels of modification.
- the energy of the ICP filter is reduced, thus reducing the energy of the reconstructed side signal.
- Other schemes for reducing the introduced estimation errors are also plausible. This provides a smoothing effect since the reduction in signal energy generally reduces the differences between different frames, considering the fact that there may originally be large differences in the predicted signal from frame to frame.
- overlappning windows solves the alising problem for ICP filtering as well.
- the use of overlapping windows in BCC is not representative of signal- adaptive filter smoothing since there will be a "fixed” smoothing effect and energy reduction for all considered frames irrespective of whether such as reduction is really needed. This results in a rather large performance reduction.
- a modified cost function is suggested. It is defined as:
- the smoothing factor ⁇ determines the contribution of the previous ICP filter, thereby controlling the level of smoothing.
- the proposed filter smoothing effectively removes coding artifacts and stabilizes the stereo image.
- the problem of stereo image width reduction due to smoothing can be alleviated by making the smoothing factor signal- adaptive, and dependent on the filter performance.
- a large smoothing factor is preferably used when the prediction gain of the previous filter applied to the current frame is high. However, if the previous filter leads to deterioration in the prediction gain, then the smoothing factor may be gradually decreased.
- smoothing information such as the smoothing factors described above can be sent to the decoding side, and the signal-adaptive filter smoothing can equivalently be performed on the decoding side rather than on the encoding side.

Abstract
Une première représentation de signal d'un ou de plusieurs des canaux multiples est codée (S1) dans un premier processus de codage et une seconde représentation de signal d'un ou de plusieurs canaux multiples est codée (S2) dans un second processus de codage par filtre. Le lissage par filtre peut être utilisé pour réduire les effets d'artefacts de codage. Cependant, un lissage par filtre classique conduit généralement à une réduction relativement élevée du rendement et par conséquent n'est pas utilisé largement. Il a été reconnu que les artefacts de codage sont perçus comme étant plus gênants que la réduction temporaire de la largeur stéréophonique et qu'ils sont particulièrement gênants lorsque le filtre de codage fournit une mauvaise estimation du signal cible, les artefacts étant d'autant plus gênants que l'estimation est mauvaise. Par conséquent, un lissage par filtre adaptatif en signal (S3) est introduit dans le second processus de codage ou un processus de décodage correspondant est introduit comme nouveau concept général permettant de résoudre les problèmes de l'état de la technique.
