Abstract:
PURPOSE: A device for restoring multichannel audio signal using an HE-AAC(High-Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding) decoder and an MPEG surround decoder and a method thereof are provided to add a delay stage when connecting a downmix signal of the HE-AAC decoder to a QMF(Quadrature Mirror Filter) signal of the real number domain, a QMF signal of the complex number domain, and a time domain signal. CONSTITUTION: When a downmix signal of a time domain encoded by HE-AAC is combined with an MPEG surround low power decoder, a delay stage(501) applies delay to extracted spatial parameters. The delay is identical to the sum of the delay of HE-AAC QMF synthetic filter process, real QMF(502) and Nyquist analysis filter(504) process of the MPEG surround low power decoder, and a real to complex converter(503).

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: An apparatus and a method for converting an audio signal are provided to change the depth of a sound source signal or channel signal while not increasing the quality of an audio signal. CONSTITUTION: A signal extraction unit(110) extracts a sub signal from an audio signal including plural sub signals, and a control unit(120) changes a virtual position in a reproduction space of the audio signal corresponding to the extracted sub signal. A renderer(130) renders the sub signal of which virtual position is changed and a non-extracted sub signal. The sub signal is a sound source signal or a channel signal.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: The apparatus for the inter-object regeneration relation and volume information storage and interpretive method and this easily can easily force and restriction of the object-based audio service by advance defining the force/constraint condition about the regeneration relation of inter-object and replay volume. CONSTITUTION: The object-based audio player(101) inputs the audio object information and the force/condition information included within the object-based audio file(102) to the force/condition information Analysis module. Object the audio track or the group. The combination generation consisting of the group is the audio track or group. The force/condition information Analysis module(103) interprets and the magnetic track decoded before the decryption algorithm of the audio object is or reject adopted.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for separating an audio channel are provided to sort sound sources of a specific direction by spatially filtering a stereo audio signal through a cross correlation value between a channel and a sound source position detected from the stereo audio signal. CONSTITUTION: A sub band analyzing part(820) analyzes a stereo audio signal, and sorts the signal into a sub band unit. A channel power calculating part(830) calculates a power of a channel signal according to a sub band from the stereo audio signal sorted into the sub band unit. A sound source position detecting part(840) detects a sound source position through the power of the channel signal according to the sub band. A cross correlation calculating part(850) calculates a cross correlation between the channels from the stereo audio signal sorted into the sub band unit. A channel signal separating part(860) sorts the stereo audio signal into each channel signal through spatial filtering using the cross correlation value between the channel and the sound source position.
