Definitions

  • the present invention relates to spatial audio coding, and more particularly to decoding of binaural audio signals.
  • a two/multi-channel audio signal is processed such that the audio signals to be reproduced on different audio channels differ from one another, thereby providing the listeners with an impression of a spatial effect around the audio source.
  • the spatial effect can be created by recording the audio directly into suitable formats for multi-channel or binaural reproduction, or the spatial effect can be created artificially in any two/multi -channel audio signal, which is known as spatialization.
  • HRTF Head Related Transfer Function
  • a HRTF is the transfer function measured from a sound source in free field to the ear of a human or an artificial head, divided by the transfer function to a microphone replacing the head and placed in the middle of the head.
  • Artificial room effect e.g. early reflections and/or late reverberation
  • this process has the disadvantage that, for generating a binaural signal, a multi-channel mix is always first needed. That is, the multi-channel (e.g. 5+1 channels) signals are first decoded and synthesized, and HRTFs are then applied to each signal for forming a binaural signal. This is computationally a heavy approach compared to decoding directly from the compressed multi-channel format into binaural format.
  • Binaural Cue Coding is a highly developed parametric spatial audio coding method.
  • BCC represents a spatial multi-channel signal as a single (or several) downmixed audio channel and a set of perceptually relevant inter-channel differences estimated as a function of frequency and time from the original signal.
  • the method allows for a spatial audio signal mixed for an arbitrary loudspeaker layout to be converted for any other loudspeaker layout, consisting of either the same or a different number of loudspeakers.
  • the BCC is designed for multi-channel loudspeaker systems.
  • generating a binaural signal from a BCC processed mono signal and its side information requires that a multi-channel representation is first synthesised on the basis of the mono signal and the side information, and only then may it be possible to generate a binaural signal for spatial headphones playback from the multi-channel representation. It is apparent that this approach is not optimised in view of generating a binaural signal.
  • a method according to the invention is based on the idea of synthesizing a binaural audio signal such that a parametri- cally encoded audio signal comprising at least one combined signal of a plurality of audio channels and one or more corresponding sets of side information describing a multi-channel sound image is first inputted. Then a predetermined set of head-related transfer function filters are applied to the at least one combined signal in proportion determined by said corresponding set of side information to synthesize a binaural audio signal.
  • a left-right pair of head-related transfer function filters corresponding to each loudspeaker direction of the original multichannel loudspeaker layout is chosen to be applied.
  • said set of side information comprises a set of gain estimates for the channel signals of the multi-channel audio, CB- scribing the original sound image.
  • the gain estimates of the original multichannel audio are determined as a function of time and frequency; and the gains for each loudspeaker channel are adjusted such that the sum of the squares of each gain value equals one.
  • the at least one combined signal is divided into time frames of an employed frame length, which frames are then windowed; and the at least one combined signal is transformed into the frequency domain prior to applying the head-related transfer function filters.
  • the at least one combined signal is divided in the frequency domain into a plurality of psycho-acoustically motivated frequency bands, such as frequency bands complying with the Equivalent Rectangular Bandwidth (ERB) scale, prior to applying the head- related transfer function filters.
  • ERP Equivalent Rectangular Bandwidth
  • outputs of the head-related transfer function filters for each of said frequency band for a left-side signal and a right- side signal are summed up separately; and the summed left-side signal and the summed right-side signal are transformed into the time domain to create a left-side component and a right-side component of a binaural audio signal.
  • a second aspect provides a method for generating a parametrically encoded audio signal, the method comprising: inputting a multi-channel audio signal comprising a plurality of audio channels; generating at least one combined signal of the plurality of audio channels; and generating one or more corresponding sets of side information including gain estimates for the plurality of audio channels.
  • the gain estimates are calculated by comparing the gain level of each individual channel to the cumulated gain level of the combined signal.
  • the arrangement according to the invention provides significant advantages.
  • a major advantage is the simplicity and low computational complexity of the encoding process.
  • the decoder is also flexible in the sense that it performs the binaural synthesis completely on the basis of the spatial and encoding parameters given by the encoder.
  • equal spatiality regarding the original signal is maintained in the conversion.
  • a set of gain estimates of the original mix suffice.
  • the invention enables enhanced exploitation of the compressive intermediate state provided in the parametric audio coding, improving efficiency in transmitting as well as in storing the audio.

  • Fig. 4 shows an electronic device according to an embodi ment of the invention in a reduced block chart.
  • Binaural Cue Coding (BCC) as an exemplified platform for implementing the ce- coding scheme according to the embodiments. It is, however, noted that the invention is not limited to BCC-type spatial audio coding methods solely, but it can be implemented in any audio coding scheme providing at least one audio signal combined from the original set of one or more audio channels and appropriate spatial side information.
  • Binaural Cue Coding is a general concept for parametric representation of spatial audio, delivering multi-channel output with an arbitrary number of channels from a single audio channel plus some side information.
  • Figure 1 illustrates this concept.
  • M input audio channels are combined into a single output (S; "sum") signal by a downmix process.
  • S single output
  • the most salient inter-channel cues describing the multichannel sound image are extracted from the input channels and coded compactly as BCC side information. Both sum signal and side information are then transmitted to the receiver side, possibly using an appropriate low bitrate audio coding scheme for coding the sum signal.
  • the BCC decoder generates a multi- channel (N) output signal for loudspeakers from the transmitted sum signal and the spatial cue information by re-synthesizing channel output signals, which carry the relevant inter-channel cues, such as Inter-channel Time Difference (ICTD), Inter- channel Level Difference (ICLD) and Inter-channel Coherence (ICC).
  • ICTD Inter-channel Time Difference
  • ICLD Inter-channel Level Difference
  • ICC Inter-channel Coherence
  • the BCC side information i.e. the inter-channel cues, is chosen in view of optimising the reconstruction of the multi-channel audio signal particularly for loudspeaker playback.
  • BCC BCC for Flexible Rendering
  • I BCC BCC for Flexible Rendering
  • II BCC BCC for Natural Rendering
  • BCC for Flexible Rendering takes separate audio source signals (e.g. speech signals, separately recorded instruments, multitrack recording) as input.
  • BCC for Natural Rendering takes a "final mix" stereo or multi-channel signal as input (e.g. CD audio, DVD surround). If these processes are carried out through conventional coding techniques, the bitrate scales proportionally or at least nearly proportionally to the number of audio channels, e.g.
  • Figure 2 shows the general structure of a BCC synthesis scheme.
  • the transmitted mono signal (“sum") is first windowed in the time domain into frames and then mapped to a spectral representation of appropriate sub- bands by a FFT process (Fast Fourier Transform) and a filterbank FB.
  • a QMF (Quadrature Mirror Filter) filter-bank process can be used to perform a decomposition of the signal.
  • the ICLD and ICTD are considered in each subband between pairs of channels, i.e. for each channel relative to a reference channel.
  • the subbands are selected such that a sufficiently high frequency resolution is achieved, e.g.
  • the BCC is an example of coding schemes, which provide a suitable platform for implementing the decoding scheme according to the embodiments.
  • the binaural decoder receives the monophonized signal and the side information as inputs. The idea is to replace each loudspeaker in the original mix with a pair of HRTFs corresponding to the direction of the loudspeaker in relation to the listening position. Each frequency channel of the monophonized signal is fed to each pair of filters implementing the HRTFs in the proportion dictated by a set of gain values, which can be calculated on the basis of the side information. Consequently, the process can be thought of as implementing a set of virtual loudspeakers, corresponding to the original ones, in the binaural audio scene.
  • the invention adds value to the BCC by allowing for, besides multi-channel audio signals for various loudspeaker layouts, also a binaural audio signal to be derived directly from parametri- cally encoded spatial audio signal without any intermediate BCC synthesis process.

  • the side information does not have to include the same inter-channel cues as in the BCC schemes, i.e. Inter- channel Time Difference (ICTD), Inter-channel Level Difference (ICLD) and Inter-channel Coherence (ICC), but instead only a set of gain estimates defining the distribution of sound pressure among the channels of the original mix at each frequency band suffice.

  • DFT discrete Fourier-transform
  • a suitable frame length is around 50 ms. Accordingly, if the sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz (commonly used in various audio coding schemes) is used, then the frame may comprise, for example, 2048 samples which results in the frame length of 46.4 ms.

  • the signal is fed into a filter bank 310, which divides the signal into psy- cho-acoustically motivated frequency bands.
