High Quality Audio Object Coding Framework Based on Non-Negative Matrix Factorization

摘要

Object-based audio coding is the main technique of audio scene coding. It can effectively reconstruct each object trajecto-ry, besides provide sufficient flexibility for personalized audio scene reconstruction. So more and more attentions have been paid to the object-based audio coding. However, existing object-based techniques have poor sound quality because of low parameter fre-quency domain resolution. In order to achieve high quality audio object coding, we propose a new coding framework with introducing the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) method. We extract object parameters with high resolution to improve sound quality, and apply NMF method to parameter coding to reduce the high bitrate caused by high resolu-tion. And the experimental results have shown that the proposed framework can improve the coding quality by 25%, so it can provide a bet-ter solution to encode audio scene in a more flexible and higher quality way.
