Title: Determination of spatial audio parameter encoding and associated decoding
Inventor: ADRIANA VASILACHE
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2018-10-31
Abstract: A directional parameter comprising azimuth and elevation values are received for sub-bands of an audio frame. The range of the directional parameter is partitioned, and a primary partition is then identified depending on the value of the directional parameter. The primary partition section is further sub-divided to yield a secondary partitioning of the range of the directional parameter, and one of the secondary partitions is identified. An embedded index value associated with the directional parameter is then obtained by combining the indices associated with the primary and secondary partitions. The primary partition may subdivide the azimuthal and elevational ranges into 8 quarter-hemispheres which may be enumerated using three bits, which represent spherical pseudo-triangles, and which may be sub-divided using the midpoints of the pseudo-triangle’s edges (fig. 8). This sub-division may be done recursively. The secondary partition may be selected to minimise distance between its centre and the directional parameter’s value.

Title: A method and apparatus for generating a T1-T2 map
Inventor: Rene Botnar
IPC: G01R33/56
Filed: 2019-02-06
Abstract: A method for generating a T1 and/or T2 map for a three-dimensional image volume comprises acquiring first, second, and third 3D images of the image volume using different MR acquisition parameters. Signal evolutions of the voxels through the first to third images are obtained by comparing voxel intensity levels of corresponding voxel locations in the three images. A simulation dictionary representing the signal evolutions for a number of different tissue parameter combinations is obtained by simulations e.g. using Bloch equations or extended phase graph (EPG) methods. The T1 and/or T2 map is generated by comparing the determined signal evolutions to entries in the dictionary and by finding, for each of the determined signal evolutions, the entry in the dictionary that best matches the determined signal evolution. The method may be used in cardiac imaging. The first image may use an inversion recovery preparation pulse, the second image may use no preparation pulse, and the third image may use a T2 preparation pulse.

Title: Quantization of spatial audio direction parameters
Inventor: ADRIANA VASILACHE
IPC: G10L19/035
Filed: 2019-07-31
Abstract: Several audio parameters each have elevation and azimuth values, an ordered index, and a corresponding derived parameter 401 comprising elevational and azimuthal values. The parameters are encoded by first rotating 403 each derived parameter azimuthally by the azimuth of the first-indexed parameter. Then, the indices of each parameter are reordered 407 (i.e. relabelled) depending on which parameter has the closest azimuthal value to that of each rotated derived parameter. The difference between each parameter and its corresponding rotated derived parameter is then determined 411 and quantised 413. The derived audio parameters may be evenly spaced azimuthally (representing, for example, teleconferencing participants sat around a table), and rotating the derived parameters may be done by adding the azimuth value of the first parameter. The azimuth value of the first parameter may be scalar quantised and the re-ordering of indices may be represented 409 using another index that represents a permutation.

The filter bank is a Gammatone filter bank. Extracting the temporal envelope from the output time domain signal may comprise full wave rectifying the output time domain signal from each filter in the filter bank and low pass filtering each of the rectified signals. A time delay neural network (TDNN) de-noising auto encoder may be used.
