  • Publication number: 20240087578
    Abstract: A three-dimensional audio signal coding method, apparatus, and encoder are described. The method includes, after obtaining a first correlation between a current frame of a three-dimensional audio signal and a representative virtual speaker set for a previous frame, the encoder determines whether the first correlation satisfies a reuse condition, where the first correlation is used to determine whether to reuse the representative virtual speaker set for the previous frame when the current frame is encoded. The method further encodes the current frame based on the representative virtual speaker set for the previous frame when the first correlation satisfies the reuse condition, to obtain a bitstream. A virtual speaker in the representative virtual speaker set for the previous frame is a virtual speaker used for encoding the previous frame of the three-dimensional audio signal.

  • Publication number: 20240087579
    Abstract: This application discloses a three-dimensional audio signal coding method and apparatus, and an encoder, and relates to the multimedia field. The method includes: After determining a first quantity of virtual speakers and a first quantity of vote values based on a current frame of a three-dimensional audio signal, a candidate virtual speaker set, and a voting round quantity, the encoder selects a second quantity of representative virtual speakers for the current frame from the first quantity of virtual speakers based on the first quantity of vote values, and further encodes the current frame based on the second quantity of representative virtual speakers for the current frame to obtain a bitstream. This achieves efficient data compression.
