DIRECTIONAL LOUDNESS MAP BASED AUDIO PROCESSING

An audio analyzer is configured to obtain spectral domain representations of two or more input audio signals. Additionally the audio analyzer is configured to obtain directional information associated with spectral bands of the spectral domain representations and to obtain loudness information associated with different directions as an analysis result. Contributions to the loudness information are determined in dependence on the directional information. 音频分析器被配置为获得两个或更多个输入音频信号的谱域表示。另外，音频分析器被配置为获得与谱域表示的谱带相关联的方向信息，且获得与不同方向相关联的响度信息作为分析结果。根据方向信息确定对响度信息的贡献。
