Abstract:
Disclosed are an audio authoring apparatus and audio playback apparatus for an object-based audio service, and an audio authoring method and audio playback method using same. The audio authoring apparatus and the audio playback apparatus provide an object-based audio service using audio object signals corresponding to the number of audio channels which can be processed by the audio playback apparatus.
Abstract:
An encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus in a transform between a Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (MDCT)-based coder and a hetero coder are provided. The encoding apparatus may encode additional information to restore an input signal encoded according to the MDCT-based coding scheme, when switching occurs between the MDCT-based coder and the hetero coder. Accordingly, an unnecessary bitstream may be prevented from being generated, and minimum additional information may be encoded.
Abstract:
A module (100) capable of appropriately selecting a linear predictive coding (LPC)-based (103) or a code excitation linear prediction (CELP)-based speech or audio encoder and a transform-based (104) audio encoder according to a feature of an input signal is a module (100) that performs as a bridge for overcoming a performance barrier between a conventional LPC-based encoder (103) and an audio encoder. Also, an integral audio encoder that provides consistent audio quality regardless of a type of the input audio signal can be designed based on the module.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus for integrally encoding and decoding a speech signal and an audio signal. An encoding apparatus for integrally encoding a speech signal and an audio signal, may include: a module selection unit (110) to analyze a characteristic of an input signal and to select a first encoding module for encoding a first frame of the input signal; a speech encoding unit (130) to encode the input signal according to a selection of the module selection unit (110) and to generate a speech bitstream; an audio encoding unit (140) to encode the input signal according to the selection of the module selection unit (110) and to generate an audio bitstream; and a bitstream generation unit (150) to generate an output bitstream from the speech encoding unit (130) or the audio encoding unit (140) according to the selection of the module selection unit (110).
Abstract:
Provided are a broadcast transmitting apparatus and a broadcast transmitting method for providing an object-based audio using multi-channel audio encoding and decoding, and a broadcast playback apparatus and a broadcast playback method. The broadcast transmitting apparatus may generate audio identification information for identifying whether a multi-channel audio signal is an object-based audio signal. Then, if the multi-channel audio signal is identified as an object-based audio signal based on the audio identification information, the broadcast playback apparatus may control multi-channel audio signals for each channel and output the signals.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an LPC residual signal encoding/decoding apparatus of an MDCT- based unified voice and audio encoding device. The LPC residual signal encoding apparatus analyzes a property of an input signal, selects an encoding method of an LPC filtered signal, and encodes the LPC residual signal based on one of a real filterbank, a complex filterbank, and an algebraic code excited linear prediction (ACELP).
Abstract:
Disclosed is an integrated voice/audio encoding/decoding apparatus whereby the overlap region of a window is adjusted based on the transition interval. In the present invention, encoding is carried out by making windows of relatively long length overlap in order to increase the efficiency of encoding, while the overlap region of the windows is reduced in accordance with the transition interval when there is a transition interval between frames, thereby making it possible to reduce the occurrence of noise due to transition intervals.
Abstract:
A Unified Speech and Audio Codec (USAC) that may process a window sequence based on mode switching is provided. The USAC may perform encoding or decoding by overlapping between frames based on a folding point when mode switching occurs. The USAC may process different window sequences for each situation to perform encoding or decoding, and thereby may improve a coding efficiency.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and method for window processing for connecting between an MDCT frame and a heterogeneous frame, an encoding apparatus and encoding method, and a decoding apparatus and decoding method. The window processing method involves applying, to the MDCT frame, a window for interconnection between the MDCT frame and a frame having no aliasing term, so as to satisfy TDAC conditions for the recovery of an original signal.
