  • Publication number: 20180270600
    Abstract: For generating 3D audio content from a two-channel stereo signal, the stereo signal (x(t)) is partitioned into overlapping sample blocks and is transformed into time-frequency domain. From the stereo signal directional and ambient signal components are separated, wherein the estimated directions of the directional components are changed by a predetermined factor, wherein, if changes are within a predetermined interval, they are combined in order to form a directional centre channel object signal. For the other directions an encoding to Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA) is performed. Additional ambient signal channels are generated by de-correlation and rating by gain factors, followed by encoding to HOA. The directional HOA signals and the ambient HOA signals are combined, and the combined HOA signal and the centre channel object signals are transformed to time domain.

  • Patent number: 10078140
    Abstract: The invention relates to generating regional tropospheric correction information for correcting observations useful for estimating phase ambiguities and/or a position of global or regional navigation satellite systems (NSS) receiver(s). For each of a plurality of reference stations, at least one troposphere correction parameter is estimated by evaluating NSS observation equations using i) precise satellite information or the information derived from the precise satellite information, and ii) received multiple-frequency-signals-based raw observations or a linear combination thereof. The regional tropospheric correction information is then generated based on the estimated troposphere correction parameter(s) per reference station, the tropospheric correction information comprising a regional tropospheric delay function(s) and coefficients representing a tropospheric delay affecting a NSS signal passing through the troposphere in a region of interest.
