First Claim
1. A method for processing an audio signal, comprising:
- receiving an audio signal of a first channel, wherein the first channel is classified into a first channel group, and the audio signal of the first channel includes a plurality of subband signals;
receiving an audio signal of a second channel, wherein the second channel is classified into a second channel group, and the audio signal of the second channel includes a plurality of subband signals;
filtering each subband signal of the first channel by using each set of subband filter coefficients generated from a first set of filter coefficients, wherein the first set of filter coefficients corresponds to a position related to the first channel in a virtual reproduction space;
filtering each subband signal of the second channel by using each set of subband filter coefficients generated from a second set of filter coefficients, wherein the second set of filter coefficients corresponds to a position related to the second channel in the virtual reproduction space; and

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing an audio signal, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for processing an audio signal, which synthesize an object signal and a channel signal and effectively perform binaural rendering of the synthesized signal.
To this end, provided are a method for processing an audio signal, which includes: receiving an input audio signal including a multi-channel signal; receiving truncated subband filter coefficients for filtering the input audio signal, the truncated subband filter coefficients being at least some of subband filter coefficients obtained from binaural room impulse response (BRIR) filter coefficients for binaural filtering of the input audio signal and the length of the truncated subband filter coefficients being determined based on filter order information obtained by at least partially using reverberation time information extracted from the corresponding subband filter coefficients; obtaining vector information indicating the BRIR filter coefficients corresponding to each channel of the input audio signal; and filtering each subband signal of the multi-channel signal by using the truncated subband filter coefficients corresponding to the relevant channel and subband based on the vector information and an apparatus for processing an audio signal by using the same.
