MULTI-CHANNEL AUDIO SIGNAL ENCODING AND DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18154633 titled 'MULTI-CHANNEL AUDIO SIGNAL ENCODING AND DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for encoding and decoding multi-channel audio signals. The goal is to reduce the amount of side information required for encoding, allowing for more bits to be allocated to other parts of the encoder and improving the quality of the reconstructed audio signal on the decoder side.
- The invention focuses on multi-channel audio signal encoding and decoding.
- It aims to reduce the amount of bits needed for multi-channel side information.
- By saving bits, more resources can be allocated to other functional modules of the encoder.
- This allocation improves the quality of the reconstructed audio signal on the decoder side.
- The innovation also enhances the overall coding quality of the audio signal.
Potential Applications
- Audio and video streaming services
- Broadcasting and telecommunications industries
- Virtual reality and gaming applications
- Music production and recording studios
Problems Solved
- Limited bit allocation for encoding multi-channel audio signals
- Insufficient resources for other functional modules of the encoder
- Reduced quality of the reconstructed audio signal on the decoder side
- Lower coding quality of the audio signal
Benefits
- Improved quality of the reconstructed audio signal
- Enhanced coding quality of the audio signal
- Efficient utilization of bit allocation
- More resources available for other encoder modules
- Better audio experience in various applications
Original Abstract Submitted
Multi-channel audio signal encoding and decoding methods and apparatuses () are provided. This can reduce a quantity of bits of multi-channel side information, so that saved bits can be allocated to another functional module of an encoder, to improve quality of a reconstructed audio signal of a decoder side and improve coding quality.
