Patent number: 9462404Abstract: In processing a multi-channel audio signal having at least three original channels, a first downmix channel and a second downmix channel are provided, which are derived from the original channels. For a selected original channel, channel side information are calculated such that a downmix channel or a combined downmix channel including the first and the second downmix channels, when weighted using the channel side information, results in an approximation of the selected original channel. The channel side information and the first and second downmix channels form output data to be transmitted to a decoder, which, in case of a low level decoder only decodes the first and second downmix channels or, in case of a high level decoder provides a full multi-channel audio signal based on the downmix channels and the channel side information.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2012Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Fraunhofer Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Jürgen Herre, Johannes Hilpert, Stefan Geyersberger, Andreas Hölzer, Claus Spenger

Patent number: 7961890Abstract: A parametric representation of a multi-channel audio signal describes the spatial properties of the audio signal well with compact side information when a coherence information, describing the coherence between a first and a second channel, is derived within a hierarchical encoding process only for channel pairs including a first channel having only information of a left side with respect to a listening position and including a second channel having only information from a right side with respect to a listening position. As within the hierarchical process the multiple audio channels of the audio signal are downmixed iteratively into monophonic channels, one can pick the relevant parameters from an encoding step involving only channel pairs carrying the information needed to describe the spatial properties of the multi-channel audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2005Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignees: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Angewandten Forschung, e.V., Coding Technologies AB, Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Andreas Hölzer, Jürgen Herre, Heiko Purnhagen, Kristofer Kjörling, Jonas Röden, Lars Villemoes, Jonas Engdegard, Jeroen Breebaart, Erik Schuijers, Werner Oomen
