The audio object editing apparatus of the multi-object audio coding apparatus may include an object information extracting unit (210) to receive an object bit stream and to extract object information from the object bit stream, a downmix processing unit (220) to receive a downmix signal, and to control the downmix signal using object editing information and the object information, and a bit stream processing unit (230) to edit the object information according to be object editing information, and to generate a controlled object bit stream based on the edited object information.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for synchronizing and providing a stereoscopic image are provided. The method includes storing a first image, receiving a second image that forms a stereoscopic image with the first image correlated, synchronizing the first image and the second image, and outputting the synchronized two images.
Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus and method for multiplexing and demultiplexing based on DMB. The multiplexing apparatus includes a packetizer, a section generator, and a multiplexer. The packetizer (340) packetizes element streams and object information of a base layer and an enhancement layer. The section generator (350, 360) generates 14496 sections including the object information of the base layer and the enhancement layer, a SCST section having element stream information of the enhancement layer, an IOD having descriptors for the object information of the base layer and the enhancement layer, and a PSI section having a descriptor connecting the SCST. The multiplexer (380,390) generates base layer and enhancement layer TSs by multiplexing the packetized element streams and the packetized object information of the base layer and the enhancement layer, the 14496 sections including the object information of the base layer and the enhancement layer, the PSI section, and the SCST section.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving multi-channel audio signals is provided. The apparatus for transmitting multi-channel audio signals includes: a multi-channel audio down-mixer configured to receive a multi-channel audio signal and transform the multi-channel audio signal into a down-mixed audio signal and a supplementary signal; a super frame generator configured to generate a super frame including a plurality of supplementary signal frames; and a packetizer configured to packetize the super frame, wherein the super frame includes supplementary signal frame number information and supplementary signal frame length information of the supplementary signal frames included in the super frame.
Abstract:
Provided are a method for transmitting data related to a stereoscopic image and a method for playing back a stereoscopic image. The stereoscopic image data transmitting method includes generating stereoscopic image data related to a stereoscopic still image in a predetermined file format, and transmitting the generated data. The file format includes a media information unit including the stereoscopic still image, control information for controlling playing back the stereoscopic still image, and image composition information indicating a type of composing a stereoscopic image using the stereoscopic still image.
Abstract:
Disclosed are encoding and decoding apparatuses and methods based on variable sub-band analysis. The encoding method based on variable sub-band analysis includes: generating down-mixed signals out of inputted multiple audio objects and encoding the down-mixed signals; transforming the multiple audio objects into a frequency domain to thereby produce frequency-domain signals; dividing a sub-band of the frequency-domain signals into variable sub-bands based on a characteristic of the sub-band and generating variable sub-band information including information on the variable sub- bands; generating parameter information used for recovering the down-mixed signals based on the variable sub-bands; and encoding the variable sub-band information and the parameter information.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system for authoring metadata that describe multimedia contents. A storage device loads information on a currently edited metadata document so as to describe multimedia contents, and a metadata editor (230) visualizes the loaded metadata document according to a predetermined method, and allows a user to edit the metadata document. A multimedia access reproducer (220) accesses the input multimedia contents to reproduce corresponding multimedia contents, and an inter-media metadata interface links the multimedia access reproducer (220) and the metadata editor (230) to browse contents and effectively edit information relating to a specific interval of multimedia contents. A metadata output device (250) outputs information on the loaded metadata document according to a predefined format.

Abstract:
Provided are intelligent water ring scan apparatus and method thereof, image encoding/decoding apparatus using the water ring scanning and method thereof, and a computer-readable recording medium for recording a program that implements the methods. The apparatus or method of this research selectively improves the image quality of a particular image part that needs to be encoded with priority by transmitting the image data of the particular image part suitably for a human visual system so as to provide a visually improved image. The encoding apparatus of this research differentiates the amount of image data depending on the significance of a certain image part to process the image in various qualities suitably for the human visual system. The methods of this research can be applied to an image encoding/decoding process.
