Apparatus and method for controlling a wave field synthesis renderer means with audio objects
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling a wave field synthesis renderer with audio objects, so that the wave field synthesis renderer generates, from the audio objects, synthesis signals reproducible by a plurality of loudspeakers attachable in a reproduction room, comprising:
- a provider arranged to provide a scene description, the scene description defining a temporal sequence of audio objects in an audio scene, and wherein each audio object of the temporal sequence of audio objects in the audio scene includes information on a source position of a virtual source as well as an audio file for the virtual source or reference information referring to the audio file for the virtual source; and
a processor arranged to process the audio objects, in order to generate a single serial output data stream, which is to be fed to the wave field synthesis renderer, the single serial output data stream comprising both the audio file of the audio object and, in association with the audio file, information on the position of the virtual source of the audio object;
whereinthe processor is arranged to generate the single serial output data stream so that, for each audio object of the temporal sequence of audio objects in the scene, a header, in which the position information for the virtual source for each object is included, is followed by the audio file for the virtual source for each object or follows the audio file for the virtual source for each object, so that the wave field synthesis renderer is capable of determining, based on the temporal position of the header with reference to the audio file, that the audio file is to be rendered with the position information in the header; and
the apparatus for controlling a wave field synthesis renderer comprises a hardware device.

Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a wave field synthesis renderer with audio objects includes a provider for providing a scene description, wherein the scene description defines a temporal sequence of audio objects in an audio scene and further includes information on the source position of a virtual source as well as on a start or an end of the virtual source. Furthermore, the audio object includes at least a reference to an audio file associated with the virtual source. The audio objects are processed by a processor, in order to generate a single output data stream for each renderer module, wherein both information on the position of the virtual source and the audio file itself are included in mutual association in this output data stream. With this, high portability on the one hand and high quality due to secure data consistency on the other hand are achieved.

6. A method for controlling a wave field synthesis renderer with audio objects, so that the wave field synthesis renderer generates, from the audio objects, synthesis signals reproducible by a plurality of loudspeakers attachable in a reproduction room, comprising:
-
providing a scene description, the scene description defining a temporal sequence of audio objects in an audio scene, and wherein each audio object of the temporal sequence of audio objects in the audio source includes information on a source position of a virtual source as well as an audio file for the virtual source or reference information referring to the audio file for the virtual source; and processing the audio objects, in order to generate a single serial output data stream, which is to be fed to the wave field synthesis renderer, the single serial output data stream comprising both the audio file of the audio object and, in association with the audio file, information on the position of the virtual source of the audio object;
whereinthe processing the audio objects includes generating the single serial output data stream so that, for each audio object of the temporal sequence of audio objects in the audio scene, a header, in which the position information for the virtual source for each object is included, is followed by the audio file for the virtual source for each object or follows the audio file for the virtual source for each object, so that the wave field synthesis renderer is capable of determining, based on the temporal position of the header with reference to the audio file, that the audio file is to be rendered with the position information in the header; and the method for controlling a wave field synthesis renderer is performed by a hardware device.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium including a computer program with program code for performing, when the program is executed on a computer, a method for controlling a wave field synthesis renderer with audio objects, so that the wave field synthesis renderer generates, from the audio objects, synthesis signals reproducible by a plurality of loudspeakers attachable in a reproduction room, the method comprising:
-
providing a scene description, the scene description defining a temporal sequence of audio objects in an audio scene, and wherein each audio object of the temporal sequence of audio objects in the audio source includes information on a source position of a virtual source as well as an audio file for the virtual source or reference information referring to the audio file for the virtual source; and processing the audio objects, in order to generate a single serial output data stream, which is to be fed to the wave field synthesis renderer, the single serial output data stream comprising both the audio file of the audio object and, in association with the audio file, information on the position of the virtual source of the audio object;
whereinthe processing the audio objects includes generating the single serial output data stream so that, for each audio object of the temporal sequence of audio objects in the audio scene, a header, in which the position information for the virtual source for each object is included, is followed by the audio file for the virtual source for each object or follows the audio file for the virtual source for each object, so that the wave field synthesis renderer is capable of determining, based on the temporal position of the header with reference to the audio file, that the audio file is to be rendered with the position information in the header.
