A method and device for automatically increasing the spectral bandwidth of an audio signal including generating a 'mapping' (or “prediction”) matrix based on the analysis of a reference wideband signal and a reference narrowband signal, the mapping matrix being a transformation matrix to predict high frequency energy from a low frequency energy envelope, generating an energy envelope analysis of an input narrowband audio signal, generating a resynthesized noise signal by processing a random noise signal with the mapping matrix and the envelope analysis, high-pass filtering the resynthesized noise signal, and summing the high-pass filtered resynthesized noise signal with the original an input narrowband audio signal. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and device for spectral expansion for an audio signal

A computer-implemented method for upmixing audiovisual data can include obtaining audiovisual data including input audio data and video data accompanying the input audio data. Each frame of the video data can depict only a portion of a larger scene. The input audio data can have a first number of audio channels. The computer-implemented method can include providing the audiovisual data as input to a machine-learned audiovisual upmixing model. The audiovisual upmixing model can include a sequence-to-sequence model configured to model a respective location of one or more audio sources within the larger scene over multiple frames of the video data. The computer-implemented method can include receiving upmixed audio data from the audiovisual upmixing model. The upmixed audio data can have a second number of audio channels. The second number of audio channels can be greater than the first number of audio channels.
