Corpuscular Streaming and Parametric Modification Paradigm for Spatial Audio Teleconferencing*

A novel paradigm for vectored corpuscular audio streaming is presented, which is an extension of general parametric audio encoding. The technique enhances spatial resolution and eliminates crosstalk artifacts in low-bit-rate applications. Inherent are several unique processes that augment intelligibility and facilitate automated teleconference solutions exploiting spatial audio. It is shown that corpuscular transforms provide a radical solution to robust echo suppression in a multiloudspeaker environment where real-time soundlet domain editing eliminates the need for adaptive echo suppression filters. Furthermore spatiotemporal manipulation paradigms for intelligibility enhancement and automated soundscape construction in the field of spatial audio teleconferencing are introduced.
