Abstract

See full text

Decorrelation filter parameters for audio data may be based, at least in part, on audio characteristics such as tonality information and/or transient information. Determining the audio characteristics may involve receiving explicit audio characteristics with the audio data and/or determining audio characteristics based on one or more attributes of the audio data. The decorrelation filter parameters may include dithering parameters and/or randomly selected pole locations for at least one pole of an all-pass filter. The dithering parameters and/or pole locations may involve a maximum stride value for pole movement. In some examples, the maximum stride value may be substantially zero for highly tonal signals of the audio data. The dithering parameters and/or pole locations may be bounded by constraint areas within which pole movements are constrained. The constraint areas may or may not be fixed. In some implementations, different channels of the audio data may share the same constraint areas.
