Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020243535A1] Systems and methods discussed herein are directed to ambisonic signal processing. In an example, a primary ambisonic signal can be encoded with an imbalance in its panning equations or components. The imbalance can be due to an intentionally-encoded omnidirectional or middle-channel signal such as can be intended for rendering using other than an active ambisonic decoder. In an example, a method for decomposing the primary ambisonic signal can include determining a secondary ambisonic signal for passive decoding using information about a difference between the total energy of X, Y, and Z components and the total energy of the W component of the primary ambisonic signal.
