Abstract:
A metadata encoding/decoding apparatus for digital broadcasting and a method thereof are provided to compress and recover XML instance document by using a binary type by synchronizing XML(extensible markup language) schema based metadata with broadcasting program. A metadata encoding apparatus for digital broadcasting comprises a schema management unit(120), and an instance management unit(130). The schema management unit generates a second schema document by compiling a first schema document and generates/manages the first schema document in a structured FSA(finite state automata). The instance management unit changes the instance document into a binary chunk object by using the FSA and outputs the object by a binary file. The schema management unit includes a schema compiler unit(121) generating a second schema document, and an FSA generating unit(122) generating/managing the first schema document in the FSA. An instance compiler unit(131) changes the instance document into the binary chuck object. A chunk recording unit(132) outputs the binary chunk object into the binary file. A schema effectiveness tester(110) inputs the instance document by the instance management unit. Thereby, the XML instance document is easily compressed and recovered.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and system for separating a music sound source without using a sound source database are provided to separate a sound source generated using a rhythm musical instrument based on characteristics of the rhythm musical instrument repeated in an aspect of time, and thereby may separate a sound source included in a mixed signal even when a learning database generated using a specific sound source is absent. CONSTITUTION: An NMPCF(Nonnegative Matrix Partial Co-Factorization) analysis unit(130) obtains info nation shared by the plurality of segments in accordance with an NMPCF algorithm. A rhythm instrument signal has frequency characteristics such as a pitch, that may not be easily changed, and may be repeatedly generated, whereby the shared information may correspond to information of a rhythm musical instrument. A target instrument signal separating unit(140) separates a target instrument signal corresponding to a specific sound source from the mixed signal by calculating an inner product between the entity matrices obtained by the NMPCF analysis unit. The target instrument signal is a signal including sounds generated using the rhythm musical instrument. A signal association unit(150) associates the target instrument signals for each of the plurality of segments separated in the target instrument signal separating unit.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for structuring bitstream for an object-based audio service are provided to reduce a degradation in the sound quality occurring due to an excessive volume control by designating an upper bound value and a lower bound value of a reproduction volume in an object-based audio service. CONSTITUTION: A bitstream splitting unit divides a bitstream into a file header, and an audio object frame through sound source splitting(110). A reproduction level information storage unit stores the reconstruction level information for the regeneration of the audio object within the file header(120). A preset storage unit stores the preset information for the regeneration of the audio object within the file header(130).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A system for separating musical sound source is provided to efficiently divide a specific sound source in a mixed sound source by reorganizing the mixed sound source into the specific sound source and other sound source. CONSTITUTION: A system for separating musical sound source includes a database(110), a time-frequency domain conversion unit(120), an NMPCF(Nonnegative Matrix Partial Co-Factorization) analysis unit(130), a target instrument signal separating unit(140), and a time domain signal conversion unit(150). The database stores information about a solo performance using a predetermined musical instrument, and transmits the information about the solo performance as a type of a predetermined sound source signal(x1). The predetermined sound source has a significantly great amount of data to include various characteristics of the predetermined sound source. In this case, a great amount of database signals may need to be processed for each sound source separation operation.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A unified speech/audio coder(USAC) processing windows sequence based mode switching is provided to perform encoding or decoding by processing different window sequences for different situation, thereby improving coding efficiency. CONSTITUTION: A mode switching unit performs inter-linear prediction domain mode switching for the sub-frames which constitute a frame of an input signal. An encoding unit applies a window sequence to current encoding subframes, wherein the window sequence is based on a switched LPD(Linear Prediction Domain) mode. In addition, the encoding unit applies a changed window sequence to the current encoding subframe according to the LPD modes of previous and following subframes.
