Abstract

The present technology relates to a signal processing device, method, and program that can improve encoding efficiency. A signal processing device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires reverb information including at least one of space reverb information specific to a space around an audio object or object reverb information specific to the audio object and an audio object signal of the audio object; and a reverb processing unit that generates a signal of a reverb component of the audio object on the basis of the reverb information and the audio object signal. The present technology can be applied to a signal processing device.

Claims (16)

1. A signal processing device comprising:

processing circuitry configured to:

acquire reverb information including at least one of space reverb information specific to a space around an audio object or object reverb information specific to the audio object and an audio object signal of the audio object; and

generate a signal of a reverb component of the audio object on a basis of the reverb information and the audio object signal, wherein the space reverb information is acquired at a lower frequency than the object reverb information.

2. The signal processing device according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where identification information indicating past reverb information is acquired, the processing circuitry is configured to generate a signal of the reverb component on a basis of the reverb information indicated by the identification information and the audio object signal.

3. The signal processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the identification information includes information indicating the object reverb information, and

the processing circuitry is configured to generate a signal of the reverb component on a basis of the object reverb information indicated by the identification information, the space reverb information, and the audio object signal.

4. The signal processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the object reverb information includes information depending on a position of the audio object.

5. The signal processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the

processing circuitry is configured to generate a signal of the reverb component specific to the space on a basis of the space reverb information and the audio object signal, and to generate a signal of the reverb component specific to the audio object on a basis of the object reverb information and the audio object signal.

6. A signal processing method comprising:

acquiring, by a signal processing device, reverb information including at least one of space reverb information specific to a space around an audio object or object reverb information specific to the audio object and an audio object signal of the audio object; and

generating, by the signal processing device, a signal of a reverb component of the audio object on a basis of the reverb information and the audio object signal, wherein the space reverb information is acquired at a lower frequency than the object reverb information.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute processing comprising:

acquiring reverb information including at least one of space reverb information specific to a space around an audio object or object reverb information specific to the audio object and an audio object signal of the audio object; and

generating a signal of a reverb component of the audio object on a basis of the reverb information and the audio object signal, wherein the space reverb information is acquired at a lower frequency than the object reverb information.
