Psychoacoustic-based quantisation of spatial audio cues
نویسنده
چکیده
The derivation of spatial cues representing source localisation information is a typical component of multichannel spatial audio coders. Efficient compression of spatial cues based on psychoacoustic localisation features is investigated. Results show that the proposed quantisation approach for spatial cue compression achieves bit-rates of less than 6 kbit/s while preserving critical source localisation information.

Perceptual Spatial - Audio Coding
A novel technique for the perceptual coding of spatial audio is presented. This coding technique allows individualized 3D audio presentation and exploits the dichotomous roles of the lowfrequency interaural timing and level difference cues versus the high-frequency spectral cues in human sound localization. The high-frequency spectral cues are modified to match the acoustics of the listener’s o...
متن کاملBinaural cue coding-Part II: Schemes and applications
Binaural Cue Coding (BCC) is a method for multichannel spatial rendering based on one down-mixed audio channel and side information. The companion paper (Part I) covers the psychoacoustic fundamentals of this method and outlines principles for the design of BCC schemes. The BCC analysis and synthesis methods of Part I are motivated and presented in the framework of stereophonic audio coding. Th...

The SoundScape Renderer (SSR) is a versatile software tool for real-time spatial audio reproduction. It is capable of generating driving signals for a variety of loudspeakerbased and headphone-based reproduction methods. Due to its extensive remote-control possibilities, it can be conveniently used as an audio backend in psychoacoustic listening and conversational experiments, for example in th...
متن کاملA Psychoacoustic-Based Multiple Audio Object Coding Approach via Intra-Object Sparsity
Rendering spatial sound scenes via audio objects has become popular in recent years, since it can provide more flexibility for different auditory scenarios, such as 3D movies, spatial audio communication and virtual classrooms. To facilitate high-quality bitrate-efficient distribution for spatial audio objects, an encoding scheme based on intra-object sparsity (approximate k-sparsity of the aud...
متن کاملAn Improved Psychoacoustic Model for Audio Coding Based on Wavelet Packet
This paper describes a new design of a psychoacoustic model for audio coding following the model used in the standard MPEG-1 audio layer 3 using an appropriate wavelet packet decomposition of the speech/audio signal. The design of a psychoacoustic model is achieved by wavelet packet decomposition whose connections are selected in such a way that sub bands correspond to the best possible one to ...
