Abstract: A signal processing device includes a generation unit that generates a second signal from a first signal that is obtained by down mixing two signals; a mixing coefficient determination unit that determines, based on a value L and a value ?, a mixing degree for mixing the first signal and the second signal; and a mixing unit that mixes the first signal and the second signal based on the mixing degree determined by the mixing coefficient determination unit. The generation unit includes a first filter that generates a low frequency band signal in the second signal, from a low frequency band signal in the first signal; and a second filter that generates a high frequency band signal in the second signal, from a high frequency band signal in the first signal. The first filter is a filter unit which, for a complex-number signal, de-correlates an input signal and adds a reverberation component by using a delay unit and an all pass filter, and the processing unit is a filter unit different from the first filter.

Abstract: Provided is an audio decoder which can reduce an amount of arithmetic operations while suppressing occurrence of aliasing noise. The audio decoder includes: a decoder (102) and an analysis filter bank (110) which generate, from a coded down-mixed signal, the first frequency band signal (x) corresponding to a down-mixed signal (M); a channel expansion unit (130) which converts the first frequency band signal (x) generated by the analysis filter bank (110) into output signals (y) corresponding to respective audio signals of N channels, using BC information; an synthesis filter bank (140) which performs band synthesis for the output signals (y) generate by the channel expansion unit (130) and thereby converts the output signals (y) into the respective audio signals of the N channels on a time axis; and an aliasing noise detection unit (120) which detects occurrence of aliasing noise in the first frequency band signal (x).

Abstract: A signal processing device (1) includes: a generation unit (32) which generates a second signal from a first signal that is obtained by downmixing two signals; a mixing coefficient determination unit (40) which determines, based on a value L and a value ?, a mixing degree for mixing the first signal and the second signal, the value L indicating a level ratio between the two signals, and the value ? indicating a phase difference between the two signals; and a mixing unit (50) which mixes the first signal and the second signal based on the mixing degree determined by the mixing coefficient determination unit (40). The generation unit (32) includes: a first filter (302) which generates a low frequency band signal in the second signal, from a low frequency band signal in the first signal; and a second filter (a processing unit 307) which generates a high frequency band signal in the second signal, from a high frequency band signal in the first signal.
