Patent Classification: ["704", "230000"]

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods, devices and computer program products for non-uniform quantization of parameters relating to parametric spatial coding of audio signals. The disclosure further relates to a method and apparatus for reconstructing an audio object in an audio decoding system taking the non-uniformly quantized parameters into account. According to the disclosure, such an approach renders it possible to reduce bit consumption without substantially reducing the quality of the reconstructed audio object.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the largest step-size of the first and/or second scalar quantization scheme is approximately four times larger than the smallest step-size of the first and/or second scalar quantization scheme.
