Abstract:
In general, techniques are described by which to perform spatial relation coding using virtual higher order ambisonic coefficients. A device comprising a memory and a processor may perform the techniques. The memory may be configured to store audio data, the audio data representative of zero-ordered higher order ambisonic (HOA) coefficient, and one or more greater-than-zero-ordered HOA coefficients. The processor may be configured to obtain, based on the one or more greater-than-zero-ordered HOA coefficients, a virtual zero-ordered HOA coefficient. The processor may also be configured to obtain, based on the virtual HOA coefficient, one or more parameters from which to synthesize the one or more greater-than-zero-ordered HOA coefficients. The processor may further be configured to generate a bitstream that includes a first indication representative of the zero-ordered HOA coefficients, and a second indication representative of the one or more parameters.

In general, techniques are described by which to perform spatial relation coding of higher order ambisonic coefficients using expanded parameters. A device comprising a memory and a processor may perform the techniques. The memory may be configured to store at least a portion of a bitstream, the bitstream including a first indication representative of an HOA coefficient associated with the spherical basis function having an order of zero, and a second indication representative of one or more parameters. The processor may be configured to perform parameter expansion with respect to the one or more parameters to obtain one or more expanded parameters, and synthesize, based on the one or more expanded parameters and the HOA coefficient associated with the spherical basis function having the order of zero, one or more HOA coefficients associated with one or more spherical basis functions having an order greater than zero.
Abstract:
In general, techniques are described by which to perform bitrate allocation with respect to higher order ambisonic (HOA) audio data. A device comprising a memory and a processor may be configured to perform various aspects of the bitrate allocation techniques. The memory may be configured to store a spatially compressed version of the HOA audio data. The processor may be coupled to the memory, and configured to perform bitrate allocation, based on an analysis of transport channels representative of the spatially compressed version of the HOA audio data, and prior to performing gain control with respect to the transport channels or after performing inverse gain control with respect to the transport channels, to allocate a number of bits to each of the transport channels. The processor may also be configured to generate a bitstream that specifies each of the transport channels using the respective allocated number of bits.
Abstract:
A device for decoding audio data comprises a memory to store the audio data; and one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to obtain spatial information for a spatial relation of non-zero order higher-order ambisonic (HOA) coefficients associated with a spherical basis function having an order greater than zero, with zero-order HOA coefficients associated with a spherical basis function having an order of zero, the spatial information resulting in an error between the non-zero order HOA coefficients and a signal model of the non-zero order HOA coefficients that represents at least one directional component of the non-zero order HOA coefficients in the spatial relation with the zero-order HOA coefficients, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to obtain sign information for the non-zero order HOA coefficients when reconstructing the non-zero order HOA coefficients using the spatial relation.
