- D(z) denotes a diagonal matrix comprising filter coefficients (D (z), D (z)) having a delay time and an amplitude of the stereo-channel audio signal.
- an apparatus to reproduce a stereo sound including a binaural synthesis portion, a crosstalk canceller, and direct filters.
- the binaural synthesis portion forms virtual sound sources corresponding to arbitrary locations from a stereo-channel audio signal using head related transfer functions measured at predetermined locations.
- the crosstalk canceller cancels crosstalk from the virtual sound sources formed by the binaural synthesis portion, using filter coefficients based on information about angles at which actual speakers are disposed.
- the direct filters adjust a signal amplitude of and a time delay of the stereo- channel audio signal based on the crosstalk-cancelled virtual sound sources using filter coefficients of the direct filters.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus to reproduce a wide stereo sound, according to an embodiment of the present general inventive concept.
- the apparatus includes a widening filter 120 and left and right direct filters 140 and 150.
- the widening filter 120 is formed by convolving left and right binaural synthesis portions 122 and 124 and a crosstalk canceller 128 together.
- a panorama filter 100 is formed by convolving the widening filter 120 with the left and right direct filters 140 and 150.
- the left and right binaural synthesis portions 122 and 124 produce virtual sound sources from a 2-channel audio signal based on head related transfer functions (HRTFs) measured at predetermined locations (angles) with respect to a sound source.
- HRTFs head related transfer functions
- the left and right binaural synthesis portions 122 and 124 render virtual speakers 182 and 192 symmetrically disposed in front of a listener, using the HRTFs.
- a left-channel audio signal of the 2-channel audio signal is convolved with HRTFs measured at - 30 degrees.
- a right-channel audio signal of the 2-channel audio signal is convolved with HRTFs measured at +30 degrees.
- an audio signal convolved with the HRTF for the left ear at - 30 degrees and an audio signal convolved with the HRTF for the left ear at +30 degrees are summed to form a left virtual audio signal corresponding to a left virtual speaker 182.
- An audio signal convolved with the HRTF for the right ear at - 30 degrees and an audio signal convolved with the HRTF for the right ear at +30 degrees are summed to form a right virtual audio signal corresponding to a right virtual speaker 192.
- the crosstalk canceller 128 cancels crosstalk between the left and right virtual audio signals formed by the left and right binaural synthesis portions 122 and 124, based on filter coefficients in which the HRTFs are reflected. In other words, the crosstalk canceller 128 cancels the crosstalk between the left and right virtual audio signals so that the listener cannot hear the left virtual audio signal corresponding to the left virtual speaker 182 through the right ear and cannot hear the right virtual audio signal corresponding to the right virtual speaker 192 through the left ear.
- the left and right direct filters 140 and 150 adjust a level of and an output timing of the 2-channel audio signal with respect to the left and right virtual audio signals of which the crosstalk has been canceled by the crosstalk canceller 128.
- the left and right direct filters 140 and 150 can filter an input stereo sound and adjust an output timing of and a signal level of a sound to be output through actual speakers 180 and 190 with respect to a sound (left and right virtual audio signals) corresponding to the virtual speakers 182 and 192 to thereby produce a natural sound.
- the 2-channel audio signal filtered by the left and right direct filters 140 and 150 and the left and right virtual audio signals filtered by the widening filter 120 are summed and output to left and right actual speakers 180 and 190.
- the left and right actual speakers 180 and 190 output the 2-channel audio signal adjusted by the left and right direct filters 140 and 150 and the left and right virtual audio signals so that the listener hears the adjusted 2 channel audio signal from the left and right actual speakers 180 and 190, and the listener hears the left and right virtual audio signals from the left and right virtual speakers 182 and 192 although outputs (left and right audio signals of the 2-channel audio signal) of the left and right direct filters 140 and 150 and the left and right virtual audio signals of the widening filter 120 are output through the left and right actual speakers 180 and 190, respectively.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of implementing the apparatus of FIG. 1.
- An acoustic transfer function between a speaker and an eardrum is referred to as an HRTF.
- the HRTF contains information representing characteristics of a space into which a sound is transferred, including a difference between timings when sound wave signals reach the right and left ears, a difference between levels of the sound wave signals for the right and left ears, and shapes of the right and left pinnas.
- the HRTF can include information about the pinnas that critically affect localizations of upper and lower sound images. The information about the pinnas can be obtained through measurements because modeling the pinnas is not easy.
- angles at which the virtual speakers 182 and 192 are disposed are selected.
- the virtual speakers 182 and 192 are disposed based on binaural synthesis.
- the virtual sound sources can be formed at arbitrary locations by the use of an HRTF database measured at predetermined locations (angles) with respect to the speakers 180 and 190 and/or the virtual speakers 182 and 192. For example, if an HRTF measured at 30 degrees and an actual sound source are convolved, a sense of a virtual sound source at 30 degrees can be obtained.
- 2N virtual speakers are symmetrically disposed in front of a listener to widen a stereo sound stage. Right- and left-channel signals of a stereo sound pass through N virtual speakers located on the right side of the listener and N virtual speakers located on the left side of the listener, respectively.
- Equation 1 is:
- L Li (z) denotes an HRTF between an i-th left virtual speaker and the left ear
- R Li (z) denotes an HRTF between an i-th right virtual speaker and the left ear
- L Ri (z) denotes an HRTF between the i-th left virtual speaker and the right ear
- R Ri (z) denotes an HRTF between the i-th right virtual speaker and the right ear.
- the crosstalk canceller 128 is used to prevent a stereo sound effect from being degraded due to generation of crosstalk between the two actual speakers 180 and 190 and the two ears of the listener upon sound reproduction through only the two actual speakers 180 and 190.
- FIG. 4 is a detailed block diagram of the crosstalk canceller 128. Referring to FIG. 4, d(z) denotes a binaural-synthesized signal, u(z) denotes an output of a speaker, and e(z) denotes an error to be minimized.
- Reference character H(z) denotes a transfer function matrix (e.g., a 2 x 2 square matrix) between two speakers and two ears of a listener
- reference character C(z) denotes a crosstalk-cancellation matrix designed to be inverse to the transfer function matrix H(z).
- Reference numeral A(z) denotes a pure delay filter matrix to satisfy causality. Since the transfer function matrix H(z) can have a shape of a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, the crosstalk-cancellation matrix C(z) can have a shape of an IIR filter because the crosstalk-cancellation matrix C(z) is inverse to the transfer function matrix H(z).
- FIR finite impulse response
- the wide stereo sound reproducing apparatus of FIG. 1 can include a portion to convert an IIR filter into an FIR filter and optimize the order of the filter, such that an optimized IIR filter can be applied to a crosstalk canceller.
- the crosstalk cancellation matrix C(z) designed based on IIR filter coefficients is divided into a stable portion and an unstable portion.
- the stable portion is formed of the IIR filter
- the unstable portion is formed of the FIR filter.
- the two portions are convolved to obtain a single stable IIR filter.
- the binaural synthesis and the crosstalk canceller 128 are convolved to design the widening filter 120 based on the IIR filter. If 2N virtual speakers are arranged, a binaural synthesis is a 2x2 square matrix, and the crosstalk cancellation matrix C(z) is also a 2x2 square matrix. Hence, the widening filter is a 2x2 square matrix corresponding to a product of the two 2x2 square matrixes. The widening filter is obtained by Equation 2:
- W(z) denotes a widening filter matrix
- C(z) denotes the crosstalk cancellation matrix
- L (z) denotes the HRTF between the left virtual speaker 182 and the left ear
- R (z) denotes the HRTF between the right virtual speaker 192 and the left ear
- L (z) denotes the HRTF between the left virtual speaker 182 and the right ear
- R R R (z) denotes the HRTF between the right virtual speaker 192 and the right ear.
- the crosstalk canceller 128 is optimized based on the IIR filter, the order of the widening filter 120 can be increased like the crosstalk canceller filter 128. Thus, there can be difficulty in implementing the widening filter 120 in real time.
- the widening filter 120 converts the IIR filter into the FIR filter using frequency sampling to minimize the order of the widening filter. At this time, a frequency interval in a frequency band is adjusted using the frequency sampling to thereby adjust the order of the FIR filter. A minimum filter order that does not degrade a performance of a filter is determined through a hearing test.
- the direct filters 140 and 150 are designed so that the actual speakers 180 and 190 can also output sounds.
- the direct filters 140 and 150 adjust the sizes of outputs of the actual and virtual speakers 180, 190, 182 and 192 and a time delay between the actual and virtual speakers 180, 190, 182, and 192.
- the time delay by the direct filters 140 and 150 is matched with a predesigned time delay by the widening filter 120 to prevent a deterioration of the tone of the sound.
- the direct filters 140 and 150 determine a ratio of output levels of the actual speakers 180 and 190 to output levels of the virtual speakers 182 and 192.
- the direct filters can adjust a degree to which the stereo sound is divided.
- FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a relationship between a matrix D(z) of each of the direct filters 140 and 150 and the matrix W(z) of the widening filter 120.
- the widening filter 120 forms the left and right virtual audio signals from the input stereo sound and outputs the left and right virtual audio signals corresponding to the virtual speakers 182 and 192.
- the direct filters 140 and 150 adjust signal characteristics of the input stereo sound based on the left and right virtual audio signals and outputs an adjusted input stereo sound to the actual speakers 180 and 190.
- a panorama filter 100 is designed by convolving the widening filter 120 and the direct filters 140 and 150.
- a parameter filter matrix P(z) which is a single filter, is obtained by adding the widening filter matrix W(z) and the direct filter matrix D(z).
- Equation 4 Each element of the matrix P(z) is calculated using Equation 4 :
- each element of the matrixes P(z) and W(z) is an FIR filter coefficient
- D(z) denotes a diagonal matrix comprising filter coefficients (D (z), D R (z)) having a pure delay time and a pure size.
- FIG. 6 illustrates the panorama filter 100 to reproduce the wide stereo sound.
- the stereo sound is a 2 x 2 vector
- the stereo sound passes through the panorama filter 100 in the shape of a 2 x 2 square matrix
- a 2-channel widened stereo sound is output.
- the amplitude of a signal not yet passed through the panorama filter 100 and a signal passed through the panorama filter 100 can be adjusted through various hearing tests to obtain the greatest sound quality when the wide stereo sound is played.
- the values of the final output signals are obtained using Equation 5:
- L and R denote left and right input signals of two channels, respectively, and y L, and y R denote left and right output signals of two channels, respectively.
- FIG. 7 is a block diagram of an apparatus to reproduce a wide stereo sound from a mono sound, according to an embodiment of the present general inventive concept.
- TV broadcasting stations generally output mono-sounds.
- the panorama filter matrix P(z), of FIG. 6 has a symmetrical structure as shown in Equation 4.
- the mono-sound passes through the panorama filter matrix P(z)
- identical signals are output to the actual speakers 180 and 190.
- the mono-sound is input to the panorama filter 100 of FIG. 6, a stereo sound effect is not generated.
- the mono audio signal input through a single channel is converted into a 2-channel audio signal while passing through a phase inverter 710, which inverts a phase of the input mono signal by 180 degrees.
- the input mono audio signal and a mono audio signal having a 180 ° -converted phase are input to a panorama filter 100, which is pre-designed with an optimal filter.
- the stereo sound produced from the mono sound can be expressed as in Equation 6:
- L denotes a left channel
- R denotes a right channel
- M denotes the mono sound
- FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a system to produce an adaptive wide stereo sound, according to an embodiment of the present general inventive concept.
- a location ascertaining unit 810 ascertains a location of the listener using an iris recognition technology.
