Abstract

Parametric stereo coding is a technique to efficiently code a stereo audio signal as a monaural signal plus small amount of parametric overhead to describe the stereo image. The stereo properties are analyzed, encoded, and reinstated in a decoder according to spatial psycho-acoustical principles. However, coding of multichannel audio signal using parametric stereo still requires considerable bit-rate. In this paper, enhanced parametric stereo coding for multichannel audio signal is proposed.
