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:
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:
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.
