Conference Object Dialogue Enhancement Using Kernel Additive Modelling(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015-05-01) Liutkus, A.; Kırbız, Serap; Cemgil, A. TaylanIt is a major problem for the sound engineers to find the right balance between the dialogue signals and the ambient sources. This problem also makes one of the main causes of the audience concerns. The audience wants to arrange the sound balance based on their personal preferences, listening environment and their hearing. In this work, a method is proposed for enhancing the dialogue signals in stereo recordings that consist of more than one source. The kernel additive modelling that has been used successfully in sound source separation is used to extract the dialogues and the ambient sources from the movie sounds. The separated dialogue and ambient sources can later be upmixed by the user to make a personal mix. The separation performance of the proposed method is evaluated on the sounds generated by mixing the sources which were taken from the only dialogue and only music parts of the movies. It has been shown that the Kernel Additive Modelling (KAM) based method can be successfully used for dialogue enhancement. © 2015 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Perceptual Coding-Based Informed Source Separation(IEEE, 2014) Girin, Laurent; Kırbız, Serap; Ozerov, Alexey; Liutkus, AntoineInformed Source Separation (ISS) techniques enable manipulation of the source signals that compose an audio mixture, based on a coder-decoder configuration. Provided the source signals are known at the encoder, a low-bitrate side-information is sent to the decoder and permits to achieve efficient source separation. Recent research has focused on a Coding-based ISS framework, which has an advantage to encode the desired audio objects, while exploiting their mixture in an information-theoretic framework. Here, we show how the perceptual quality of the separated sources can be improved by inserting perceptual source coding techniques in this framework, achieving a continuum of optimal bitrate-perceptual distortion trade-offs.
