Abstract:
The application relates to HFR (High Frequency Reconstruction/Regeneration) of audio signals. In particular, the application relates to a method and system for performing HFR of audio signals having large variations in energy level across the low frequency range which is used to reconstruct the high frequencies of the audio signal. A system configured to generate a plurality of high frequency subband signals covering a high frequency interval from a plurality of low frequency subband signals is described. The system comprises means for receiving the plurality of low frequency subband signals; means for receiving a set of target energies, each target energy covering a different target interval within the high frequency interval and being indicative of the desired energy of one or more high frequency subband signals lying within the target interval; means for generating the plurality of high frequency subband signals from the plurality of low frequency subband signals and from a plurality of spectral gain coefficients associated with the plurality of low frequency subband signals, respectively; and means for adjusting the energy of the plurality of high frequency subband signals using the set of target energies.

Claim (Index 3):
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by an audio signal processing device, cause the audio signal processing device to perform a method for generating a plurality of energy-adjusted high frequency subband signals covering a high frequency interval from a plurality of low frequency subband signals, the method comprising:\n receiving the plurality of low frequency subband signals; receiving a set of target energies, each target energy covering a different target interval within the high frequency interval and being indicative of the desired energy of one or more high frequency subband signals lying within the target interval; generating a plurality of high frequency subband signals from the plurality of low frequency subband signals and from a plurality of spectral gain coefficients associated with the plurality of low frequency subband signals, respectively, by applying the plurality of spectral gain coefficients to the plurality of low frequency subband signals; and adjusting the energy of the plurality of high frequency subband signals using the set of target energies to generate the plurality of energy-adjusted high frequency subband signals, wherein adjusting the energy of the plurality of high frequency subband signals comprises determining, for each target interval, a common envelope adjustment value for each of the high frequency subband signals within the target interval.
