Abstract:
Provided are an object-based three dimensional (3-D) audio service system using preset audio scenes and a method thereof. The system and the method are suggested for enabling a user to easily and conveniently watch and listen an object based 3-D audio service by eliminating inconvenience that requires a user to control each of object audio signals of sound sources. The system includes: audio input means for inputting an audio signal; preset audio scene generating means for extracting object audio signals from the audio signal inputted through the audio input means and generating more than one of 3-D audio scene information by arranging the extracted object audio signals in a 3-D space and editing features of each object; and encoding means for encoding and multiplexing the audio signal and the 3-D audio scene information for each object audio signal.
Abstract:
In a device for editing and authoring object-based AV (audio and visual) contents using the MPEG-4 method, an object-based MPEG-4(moving picture experts group 4) contents editing and authoring device (200) comprises: an extensible description generator (120) for receiving either of an MPEG-4 textual format or internal data structure information of object-based MPEG-4 contents, and MPEG-7(moving picture experts group 7) descriptions of the MPEG-4 contents, and generating an XML (extensible markup language) based textual format file including the MPEG-7 descriptions; an extensible description/binary converter for receiving the XML based textual format file including the MPEG-7 descriptions generated by the extensible description generator (120), and generating them as a binary file; and an XML based contents storage unit (110) for storing the XML based textual format file generated by the extensible description generator (120) and the binary file generated by the extensible description/binary converter.
Abstract:
Provided are package metadata and a targeting and synchronization service providing system using the same. The package metadata for a targeting and synchronization service that can provide a variety of contents formed of components to diverse terminals in the form of a package in a targeting and synchronization service providing system, the package metadata which include: package description information for selecting a package desired by a user and describing general information on an individual pack-age to check whether the selected package can be acquired; and container metadata for describing information on a container which is a combination of diverse packages and formed of a set of items, each of which is a combination of components.

Abstract:
There is an apparatus for evaluating the audio quality of a multi-channel audio codec, including: a preprocessing unit for synthesizing binaural signals based on multi-channel audio signals transmitted through a multi-channel of a multi-channel audio reproduction system; an output variable calculator for calculating an interaural cross-correlation coefficient distortion (IACCDist) and other output variables of the binaural signals; and an artificial neural network circuit for outputting a grade of the perceived quality based on the interaural cross-correlation coefficient distortion (IACCDist) and other output variables calculated in the output variable calculator.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to extend metadata for providing a digital broadcast program service to diverse kinds of terminals, and a system and method for providing an adaptive program service to the terminals by using t he extended metadata. The system and method performs integrated management of resource information suitable for a combination of all (terminal, program an d user) conditions of the personal terminal, manages resource-related information separately from temporal/spatial location information, and thus provides an adaptive program service by using extended metadata and recomposing an adaptive scene for a personal terminal so as to provide the digital broadcast service adaptively to diverse terminal environments on a home network. The extended metadata include: segmentation metadata including description information on a significant segment that forms the broadcast program; and resource description metadata including description information on lower composition resources of the segment in order to provide a broadcas t program to the diverse kinds of terminals.
