Structured Audio: Creation, Transmission, and Rendering of Parametric Sound Representations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Structured audio representations are semantic and symbolic descriptions that are useful for ultralow-bit-rate transmission, flexible synthesis, and perceptually based manipulation and retrieval of sound. We present an overview of techniques for transmitting and synthesizing sound represented in structured format, and for creating structured representations from audio waveforms. We discuss applications for structured audio in virtual environments, music synthesis, gaming, content-based retrieval, interactive broadcast, and other multimedia contexts.

Efficient audio compression based on the perceptual coding of spatial audio
Digital compression of audio signals is one of the technological fields that has always been tightly linked to detailed knowledge on human perception. Recent advances have extended the sources for bit-rate reduction from a predominantly masking-oriented approach towards additional exploitation of spatial perceptual irrelevancies. New techniques aim at modeling of perceptually-relevant spatial c...
متن کاملThe MPEG-4 Structured Audio standard
The MPEG-4 standard defines numerous tools that represent the state-of-the-art in representation, transmission, and decoding of multimedia data. Among these is a new type of audio standard, termed “Structured Audio”. The MPEG-4 standard for structured audio allows for the efficient, flexible description of synthetic music and sound effects, and the use of synthetic sound in synchronization with...
متن کاملGeneralized Audio Coding with Mpeg-4 Structured Audio
The MPEG-4 Structured Audio standard was created to enable high-quality, very-low-bitrate transmission of synthetic sound. However, structured-audio techniques also are suitable for flexible natural audio coding. This paper introduces the concept of generalized audio coding, in which the Structured Audio decoder is used to emulate the behavior of other audio decoders. We prove that the MPEG-4 S...
متن کاملBinaural Rendering in MPEG Surround
This paper describes novel methods for evoking a multichannel audio experience over stereo headphones. In contrast to the conventional convolution-based approach where, for example, five input channels are filtered using ten head-related transfer functions, the current approach is based on a parametric representation of the multichannel signal, along with either a parametric representation of t...
متن کاملAudiogarden: towards a Usable Tool for Composite Audio Creation
This project presents a new approach to sound composition for soundtrack composers and sound designers. We propose a tool for usable sound manipulation and composition that targets sound variety and expressive rendering of the composition. We first automatically segment audio recordings into atomic grains which are displayed on our navigation tool according to their timbre. To perform the synth...
