Patent GB-2595883-A (GB)
Title: Spatial audio parameter encoding and associated decoding
Inventor: TAPANI JOHANNES PIHLAJAKUJA
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2020-06-09
Abstract: A direction parameter value, and a corresponding energy ratio, are obtained 301 for a time-frequency tile of an audio signal. A modified energy ratio is generated 304 from the energy ratio, and used to determine a quantisation spatial resolution 305 for encoding 306 the direction parameter. The energy ratios for a time frequency tile may comprise direct-to-total ratios and diffuse-to-total, and the modification may alter the largest direct-to-total ratio so that it relates to the energy ratio of the nondiffuse contribution to the tile. In such cases, the other direct-to-total ratios may be scaled in the same way as the largest ratio. The modified energy ratios may thus accommodate multiple sparse, localised sources for which the direct-to-total energy ratio would be much smaller than the modified energy ratios, which would enable the sparse sources to be quantised at a higher resolution.
