Abstract

Disclosed is a binaural rendering method and apparatus for decoding a multichannel audio signal. The binaural rendering method may include: extracting an early reflection component and a late reverberation component from a binaural filter; generating a stereo audio signal by performing binaural rendering of a multichannel audio signal base on the early reflection component; and applying the late reverberation component to the generated stereo audio signal.

Claims (22)

1. A binaural rendering method in time domain, comprising:

extracting an early reflection and a late reverberation for a binaural rendering;

performing binaural rendering to convert a loudspeaker signal to a stereo signal by applying the early reflection and

the late reverberation.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the binaural rendering is performed based on binaural parameter with respect to each loudspeaker location.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the binaural rendering is performed by applying the late reverberating after applying the early reflection into the loudspeaker signal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the late reverberation is extracted based on a binaural room impulse response (BRIR) for binaural rendering.

5. A binaural rendering method in frequency domain, comprising:

extracting an early reflection and a late reverberation for a binaural rendering;

converting a multichannel audio signal to a sterero audio signal by performing binaural rendering for the multichannel audio signal,

wherein the binaural rendering is performed based on early reflection and late reverberation.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the early reflection is processed based on bandwise partitioned convolution for binaural rendering.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the early reflection is determined based on a binaural room impulse responses (BRIR) in the frequency domain.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the late reverberation is scaled based on a result of the analyzing the multichannel audio signal.

9. A binaural rendering apparatus in a frequency domain, comprising:

a processor configured to:

extract an early reflection and a late reverberation for a binaural rendering;

convert a multichannel audio signal to a sterero audio signal by performing binaural rendering for the multichannel audio signal,

wherein the binaural rendering is performed based on early reflection and late reverberation.

10. The binaural rendering apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the early reflection is processed based on bandwise partitioned convolution for binaural rendering.

11. The binaural rendering apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the early reflection is determined based on a binaural room impulse responses (BRIR) in the frequency domain.

12. The binaural rendering apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the late reverberation is scaled based on a result of the analyzing the multichannel audio signal.
