Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for generating an additional information bit stream of a multi-object audio signal. The apparatus for generating an additional information bit stream of a multi-object audio signal according to the present invention includes a spatial cue information input unit for taking, as an input, spatial cue information generated from a multi-object audio signal encoding device, a preset information input unit for taking, as an input, preset information for a multi-object audio signal, and an additional information bit stream generating unit for generating an additional information bit stream by using the spatial cue information and the preset information. The additional information bit stream includes a header region and a frame region. The preset information is included in the frame region. The apparatus of the present invention is advantageous as it is capable of changing set audio scene information in accordance with the idea of an editor or a sound engineer even during reproduction of a multi-object audio signal because preset information is included in the frame region of the additional information bit stream generated during encoding of the multi-object audio signal.
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:
Provided are an apparatus and method for coding and decoding a multi object audio signal with multi channel. The apparatus includes: a multi channel encoding means for down-mixing an audio signal including a plurality of channels, generating a spatial cue for the audio signal including the plurality of channels, and generating first rendering information including the generated spatial cue; and a multi object encoding unit for down-mixing an audio signal including a plurality of objects, which includes the down-mixed signal from the multi channel encoding unit, generating a spatial cue for the audio signal including the plurality of objects, and generating second rendering information including the generated spatial cue, wherein the multichannel encoding unit generates a spatial cue for the audio signal including the plurality of objects regardless of a Coder-DECoder (CODEC) scheme the limits the multi channel encoding unit.
Abstract:
Provided are a method for creating, editing and reproducing a multi-object audio content file for an object-based audio service and a method for creating audio presets. The multi-object audio content file creating method includes creating a plurality of frames for each audio object forming an audio content; and creating a multi-object audio content file by grouping and storing the frames according to each reproduction time. This invention can enhance functions of the object-based audio service and make it easy to access to each audio object of an audio content file.
