Patent number: 11380342Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, and apparatus for hierarchical decorrelation of multichannel audio. A hierarchical decorrelation algorithm is designed to adapt to possibly changing characteristics of an input signal, and also preserves the energy of the original signal. The algorithm is invertible in that the original signal can be retrieved if needed. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm decomposes the decorrelation process into multiple low-complexity steps. The contribution of these steps is generally in a decreasing order, and thus the complexity of the algorithm can be scaled.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Minyue Li, Willem Bastiaan Kleijn, Jan Skoglund

Patent number: 10367601Abstract: Control logic determines when a network condition has changed by evaluating network condition data. Based on a detected network condition change, the control logic reorders an encoder parameter controller execution sequence of a plurality of encoder parameter controllers. The control logic configures the plurality of reordered encoder parameter controllers so that an encoder parameter determination from a prior encoder parameter controller is used as a decision input for a subsequent encoder parameter controller. An encoder encodes data, such as audio data, video data or other type of data using the generated encoder control parameters from the reordered plurality of encoder parameter controllers. A related method is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Tina le Grand, Niklas Blum, Minyue Li, Henrik Lundin, Michael Tschumi, Alexander Narest

Patent number: 9336791Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for rearranging a multichannel audio signal into sub-signals and allocating bit rates among them, such that compressing the sub-signals with a set of audio codecs at the allocated bit rates yields an optimal fidelity with respect to the original multichannel audio signal. Rearranging the multichannel audio signal into sub-signals and assigning each sub-signal a bit rate may be optimized according to a criterion. Existing audio codecs may be used to quantize the sub-signals at the assigned bit rates and the compressed sub-signals may be combined into the original format according to the manner in which the original multichannel audio signal is rearranged.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2013Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Minyue Li, Jan Skoglund, Willem Bastiaan Kleijn
