Title:
HIERARCHICAL DECORRELATION OF MULTICHANNEL AUDIO
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/062304
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Provided are methods, systems, and apparatus for hierarchical decorrelation of multichannel audio. A hierarchical decorrelation algorithm is designed to adapt to possibly changing characteristics of an input signal, and also preserves the energy of the original signal. The algorithm is invertible in that the original signal can be retrieved if needed. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm decomposes the decorrelation process into multiple low-complexity steps. The contribution of these steps is generally in a decreasing order, and thus the complexity of the algorithm can be scaled.
