Abstract: Volume leveler controller and controlling method are disclosed. In one embodiment, A volume leveler controller includes an audio content classifier for identifying the content type of an audio signal in real time; and an adjusting unit for adjusting a volume leveler in a continuous manner based on the content type as identified. The adjusting unit may configured to positively correlate the dynamic gain of the volume leveler with informative content types of the audio signal, and negatively correlate the dynamic gain of the volume leveler with interfering content types of the audio signal.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to audio object clustering. A method for metadata-preserved audio object clustering is disclosed. The method comprises classifying a plurality of audio objects into a number of categories based on information to be preserved in metadata associated with the plurality of audio objects. The method further comprises assigning a predetermined number of clusters to the categories and allocating an audio object in each of the categories to at least one of the clusters according to the assigning. Corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: Described herein is a method for creating object-based audio content from a text input for use in audio books and/or audio play, the method including the steps of: a) receiving the text input; b) performing a semantic analysis of the received text input; c) synthesizing speech and effects based on one or more results of the semantic analysis to generate one or more audio objects; d) generating metadata for the one or more audio objects; and e) creating the object-based audio content including the one or more audio objects and the metadata. Described herein are further a computer-based system including one or more processors configured to perform said method and a computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium with instructions adapted to carry out said method when executed by a device having processing capability.

Abstract: Diffuse or spatially large audio objects may be identified for special processing. A decorrelation process may be performed on audio signals corresponding to the large audio objects to produce decorrelated large audio object audio signals. These decorrelated large audio object audio signals may be associated with object locations, which may be stationary or time-varying locations. For example, the decorrelated large audio object audio signals may be rendered to virtual or actual speaker locations. The output of such a rendering process may be input to a scene simplification process. The decorrelation, associating and/or scene simplification processes may be performed prior to a process of encoding the audio data.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to audio object clustering based on renderer-aware perceptual difference. A method of processing audio objects is provided. The method includes obtaining renderer-related information indicating a configuration of a renderer. The method also includes determining, based on the obtained renderer-related information, a rendering difference between a first audio object and a second audio object among the audio objects with respect to the renderer. The method further includes clustering the audio objects at least in part based on the rendering difference. Corresponding system, device, and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to content-adaptive surround sound virtualization. A method of virtualizing surround sound is disclosed. The method includes receiving a set of input audio signals, each of the input audio signals being indicative of sound from one of different sound sources, and determining a probability of the set of input audio signals belonging to a predefined audio content category. The method also includes determining a virtualization amount based on the determined probability, the virtualization amount indicating to which extent the set of input audio signals is virtualized as surround sound. The method further includes performing surround sound virtualization on two or more input audio signals in the set based on the determined virtualization amount and generating output audio signals based on the virtualized input audio signals and other input audio signals in the set. Corresponding system and computer program product for virtualizing surround sound are also disclosed.

Abstract: An audio processing system and method which calculates, based on spatial metadata of the audio object, a panning coefficient for each of the audio objects in relation to each of a plurality of predefined channel coverage zones. Converts the audio signal into submixes in relation to the predefined channel coverage zones based on the calculated panning coefficients and the audio objects. Each of the submixes indicating a sum of components of the plurality of the audio objects in relation to one of the predefined channel coverage zones. Generating a submix gain by applying an audio processing to each of the submix and controls an object gain applied to each of the audio objects. The object gain being as a function of the panning coefficients for each of the audio objects and the submix gains in relation to each of the predefined channel coverage zones.
