Acoustical-signal processing apparatus, acoustical-signal processing method and computer program product for processing acoustical signals

摘要

An acoustical-signal processing apparatus includes a feature extracting unit that extracts feature data common to each channel signal which forms a multichannel acoustical signal, based on a composite similarity obtained by combining similarities calculated from each channel signal; and a time-base companding unit that executes time compression and time expansion of the multichannel acoustical signal based on the extracted feature data.
