MULTI-OBJECT AUDIO ENCODING AND DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREOF

摘要

A multi-object audio decoding method, comprising receiving a bitstream including a down-mix signal generated by down-mixing N foreground audio objects and a background audio object and N residual signals generated according to the down-mixing, wherein the N residual signals respectively corresponding to the N foreground audio objects and N is an integer; and restoring the foreground audio object and the background audio object from the down-mix signal using the residual signal, wherein the step of restoring including the step of restoring the Mth foreground audio object of the N foreground audio objects, and outputting the down-mix signal after restoring the Mth foreground audio object, using the Mth residual signal of the N residual signals corresponding to the Mth foreground audio object, and the down-mix signal of the background audio object and the foreground audio objects not restored yet, wherein the M is an integer not greater than the N; and the step of sequentially repeating, until the N foreground audio objects and the background audio object are restored, restoring the (M+1)th foreground audio object of the N foreground audio objects, and outputting the down-mix signal after restoring the (M+1)th foreground audio object, using the (M+1)th residual signal of the N residual signals corresponding to the (M+1)th foreground audio object, and the down-mix signal outputted by the step of restoring.
