  • Apparatus and method for processing a multichannel audio signal
    Patent number: 11929089
    Abstract: An apparatus for processing a multichannel audio signal has a plurality of channel signals. The apparatus performs a time scale modulation of the multichannel audio signal and has a phase adaptor and a separator. The phase adaptor provides a processed signal by modifying a phase of a signal based on a combination of the channel signals. The separator provides separated signals based on the processed signal. A corresponding method is provided.

  • Apparatus for determining a similarity information, method for determining a similarity information, apparatus for determining an autocorrelation information, apparatus for determining a cross-correlation information and computer program
    Patent number: 10565284
    Abstract: An apparatus for determining a similarity information on the basis of one or more input signals is configured to determine a zero crossing information describing a number of zero crossings in a respective portion for a plurality of portions of at least one of the one or more input signals. The apparatus is configured to perform a comparison on the basis of the zero crossing information, in order to determine the similarity information. A method for determining a similarity information and a computer program are also described. Moreover, an apparatus for determining an autocorrelation information and an apparatus for determining a cross-correlation information are based on similar considerations.
