The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for binaural rendering an audio signal using variable order filtering in frequency domain. To this end, provided are a method for processing an audio signal including: receiving an input audio signal; receiving a set of truncated subband filter coefficients for filtering each subband signal of the input audio signal, the set of truncated subband filter coefficients being constituted by one or more FFT filter coefficients generated by performing FFT by a predetermined block size; generating at least one subframe for each subband; generating at least one filtered subframe for each subband; performing inverse FFT on the filtered subframe for each subband; and generating a filtered subband signal by overlap-adding the transformed subframe for each subband and an apparatus for processing an audio signal using the same.

Method and apparatus for binaural rendering audio signal using variable order filtering in frequency domain

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing a signal, which are used to effectively reproduce an audio signal, and more particularly, to a method for generating a filter for an audio signal, which are used for implementing a filtering for input audio signals with a low computational complexity and a parameterization apparatus therefor. To this end, provided are a method for generating a filter of an audio signal, including: receiving at least one proto-type filter coefficient for filtering each subband signal of an input audio signal; converting the proto-type filter coefficient into a plurality of subband filter coefficients; truncating each of the subband filter coefficients based on filter order information obtained by at least partially using characteristic information extracted from the corresponding subband filter coefficients, the length of at least one truncated subband filter coefficients being different from the length of truncated subband filter coefficients of another subband; and generating FFT filter coefficients by fast Fourier transforming (FFT) the truncated subband filter coefficients by a predetermined block size in the corresponding subband and a parameterization unit using the same.
