METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING/DECODING MULTI-CHANNEL AUDIO SIGNAL BY USING SEMANTIC INFORMATION

摘要

A multi-channel audio signal encoding and decoding method and apparatus are provided. The multi-channel audio signal encoding method, the method including: obtaining semantic information for each channel; determining a degree of similarity between multi-channels based on the obtained semantic information for each channel; determining similar channels among the multi-channels based on the determined degree of similarity between the multi-channels; and determining spatial parameters between the similar channels and down-mixing audio signals of the similar channels.
