SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SPATIAL AUDIO RENDERING, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240244388 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SPATIAL AUDIO RENDERING, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The present disclosure pertains to a method for spatial audio rendering, involving determining a parameter for spatial audio rendering based on metadata, processing an audio signal of a sound source, and performing spatial decoding on the encoded audio signal.
- The method utilizes metadata including acoustic environment information, listener spatial information, and sound source spatial information to determine the parameter for spatial audio rendering.
- The parameter indicates a characteristic of sound propagation in a scene where a listener is situated.
- The audio signal of a sound source is processed based on the parameter to obtain an encoded audio signal.
- Spatial decoding is then performed on the encoded audio signal to obtain a decoded audio signal.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality and augmented reality applications - Gaming and immersive audio experiences - Audio production and post-production processes
Problems Solved: - Enhancing the spatial audio experience for users - Providing more realistic soundscapes in various applications
Benefits: - Improved immersion and realism in audio content - Enhanced user experience in virtual environments - Greater control over spatial audio rendering
Commercial Applications: "Enhancing Virtual Reality Experiences with Advanced Spatial Audio Rendering Technology"
Questions about Spatial Audio Rendering: 1. How does spatial audio rendering differ from traditional stereo audio? Spatial audio rendering creates a more immersive experience by simulating sound sources coming from different directions, whereas stereo audio typically only has left and right channels.
2. What are some challenges in implementing spatial audio rendering in real-time applications? Real-time spatial audio rendering requires significant processing power to accurately simulate sound propagation in various environments, which can be a challenge for resource-intensive applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure relates to a method for spatial audio rendering. the method comprises: on the basis of metadata, determining a parameter for spatial audio rendering, wherein the metadata comprises at least some information among acoustic environment information, listener spatial information and sound source spatial information, and the parameter for spatial audio rendering indicates a characteristic of sound propagation in a scene in which a listener is located; on the basis of the parameter for spatial audio rendering, processing an audio signal of a sound source, so as to obtain an encoded audio signal; and performing spatial decoding on the encoded audio signal, so as to obtain a decoded audio signal.
