  • Publication number: 20180226080
    Abstract: A method includes generating a windowed time-domain mid channel by applying two first asymmetric windows to a first frame of a time-domain mid channel and applying two second asymmetric windows to a second frame of the time-domain mid channel. The method includes transforming the windowed time-domain mid channel to a transform domain to generate sets of transform-domain mid channel data including first transform-domain mid channel data corresponding to a first mid channel window of the first frame and second transform-domain mid channel data corresponding to a second mid channel window of the first frame. The method includes performing an up-mix operation using the sets of transform-domain mid channel data, stereo parameters from the bit stream, and an interpolated parameter determined using an unevenly weighted interpolation between a first stereo parameter value associated with the first frame and a second stereo parameter value associated with the second frame.

  • Patent number: 10045145
    Abstract: A method of non-causally shifting a channel includes estimating comparison values at an encoder. Each comparison value is indicative of an amount of temporal mismatch between a previously captured reference channel and a corresponding previously captured target channel. The method also includes smoothing the comparison values to generate smoothed comparison values based on historical comparison value data and a smoothing parameter. The method further includes estimating a tentative shift value based on the smoothed comparison values. The method also includes non-causally shifting a target channel by a non-causal shift value to generate an adjusted target channel that is temporally aligned with a reference channel. The non-causal shift value is based on the tentative shift value. The method further includes generating, based on reference channel and the adjusted target channel, at least one of a mid-band channel or a side-band channel.

  • Publication number: 20180204579
    Abstract: A method includes performing modifying, at a decoder, at least a portion of inter-channel phase difference (IPD) parameter values based on a mismatch value to generate modified IPD parameter values. The mismatch value is indicative of an amount of temporal misalignment between an encoder-side reference channel and an encoder-side target channel. The modified IPD parameter values are applied to a decoded frequency-domain mid channel during an up-mix operation.
