Abstract (en)

According to one embodiment, a music detecting apparatus comprises: an input module (201); a decomposing module (202) ; an inverse quantization module (203; 502); an estimating module (204; 503); and determining module (205). The input module (201) is configured to receive an input of an audio signal subjected to middle-side (MS) stereo encoding. The decomposing module (202) is configured to decompose the audio signal input in the input module (201) on a component-by-component basis. The inverse quantization module (203; 502) is configured to perform, with respect to each component of the audio signal, inverse quantization on a difference signal between a plurality of channels included in the audio signal for generating inverse quantization data of the difference signal. The estimating module (204; 503) is configured to estimate sound volume of the difference signal based on the inverse quantization data of the difference signal generated by the inverse quantization module (203; 502). The determining module (205) is configured to determine, based on whether the sound volume of the difference signal estimated by the estimating module (204) is greater than a predetermined threshold value, whether each component of the audio signal represents a music portion.
