  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPRESSING AND DECOMPRESSING SOUND FIELD DATA OF AN AREA
    Publication number: 20160255452
    Abstract: An apparatus for compressing sound field data of an area includes a divider for dividing the sound field data into a first portion and into a second portion, and a converter for converting the first portion and the second portion into harmonic components, wherein the converter is configured to convert the second portion into one or several harmonic components of a second order, and to convert the first portion into harmonic components of a first order, wherein the first order is higher than the second order, to obtain the compressed sound field data.
