본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 컨텐트 생성을 위한 입체음향 생성 저작도구 개발에 관하여 논의한다. Windows 95/98, Windows NT 환경의 PC 상에서 동작하는 입체음향 생성 저작도구는 일반적인 음향 편집기가 갖는 편집기능 및 음향 효과 기능 이외에 음상정위 기능, 음장제어 기능의 입체음향 기능을 가지고 있으며 스피커를 통하여 입체음향을 청취할 경우 발생하는 크로스톡크를 제거하는 기능도 가지고 있다. 개발된 저작도구를 이용하여 Mono, Stereo 형태로 저장된 음향파일을 순수한 소프트웨어 만으로 가공하여 바이노럴(Binaural) 형태의 입체음향을 생성하여 가상 음원의 위치 및 이동궤적을 정의할 수 있으며 가상공간이 갖는 공간감을 구현할 수 있다 또한 편리한 사용자 인터페이스 환경을 제공하여 GUI를 통하여 3차원 공간 상의 가상음원의 위치 및 이동 궤적과 가상공간을 사용자가 지정할 수 있도록 하였다 입체음향 생성저작도구는 일반 PC 환경에서 사용자가 가공하고자 하는 임의의 오디오 파일을 입체음향으로 생성할 수 있는 GUI 환경을 제공하며, 저비용으로 효과적인 입체음향 컨텐트를 제작할 수 있도록 함으로써, 게임 및 멀티미디어 컨텐트 제작의 고부가가치화와 입체음향 기술의 산업화에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper we implement a headphone-based 5.1 channel 3-dimensional (3D) sound generation system using HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function). Each mono sound source in the 5.1 channel signal is localized on its virtual location by binaural filtering with corresponding HRTFs, and reverberation effect is added for spatialization. To reduce the computational burden, we reduce the number of taps in the HRTF impulse response and model the early reverberation effect with several tens of impulses extracted from the whole impulse sequences. We modified the spectrum of HRTF by weighing the difference of front-back spec01m to reduce the front-back confusion caused by non-individualized HRTF DB. In informal listening test we can confirm that the implemented 3D sound system generates live and rich 3D sound compared with simple stereo or 2 channel down mixing.

This paper aims to describe the basic structure of novel object-based 3D audio broadcasting system To overcome current uni-directional audio broadcasting services, the object-based 3D audio broadcasting system is designed for providing the ability to interact with important audio objects as well as realistic 3D effects based on the MPEG-4 standard. The system is composed of 6 sub-modules. The audio input module collects the background sound object, which is recored by 3D microphone, and audio objects, which are recorded by monaural microphone or extracted through source separation method. The sound scene authoring module edits the 3D information of audio objects such as acoustical characteristics, location, directivity and etc. It also defines the final sound scene with a 3D background sound, which is intended to be delievered to a receiving terminal by producer. The encoder module encodes scene descriptors and audio objects for effective transmission. The decoder module extracts scene descriptors and audio objects from decoding received bistreams. The sound scene composition module reconstructs the 3D sound scene with scene descriptors and audio objects. The 3D sound renderer module maximizes the 3D sound effects through adapting the final sound to the listner's acoustical environments. It also receives the user's controls on audio objects and sends them to the scene composition module for changing the sound scene.
