Overview
Provides a comprehensive coverage of spatial audio coding, which is an important technology for the optimization of advanced applications in home entertainment, communications, signal processing and military fields. Bringing together information on the processing, acquisition, mixing, playback, and perception of spatial audio, with the latest coding techniques, this text is an ideal reference for practising engineers working in the field. Faller starts with an introduction to the subject, reviewing psychoacoustics (the relationship between physical measures of sound and the perception of them) and spatial audio sound formats and reproduction systems. He also discusses conventional coding techniques for spatial audio, including matrixing, ambisonics and perceptual audio coding. Next, the author moves on to discuss the most recent developments in spatial audio coding, examining new classes of algorithms and techniques for channel number reduction and efficient perceptual audio coding. Principles of MP3 Surround and MPEG Surround are analysed in detail, along with other applications of these techniques, such as matrix decoding and advanced rendering of ambisonics signals.
