ECMA-407: New Approaches to 3D Audio Content Data Rate Reduction with RVC-CAL

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Junaid Jameel Ahmad

Inverse problems have only been known in spatial audio for a very short time; their only solution, called "inverse coding" in literature, is essentially based on time-level modeling. Inverse problems, however, unlike parametric coding, require only an init ...
