Course Description

Objectives

The objectives are to introduce the students to the fundamental concepts necessary to understand and to develop elements for multimedia systems, which use sound, image, and tactile input/output in the human/system interface. The signal processing concepts are emphasized in relation to applications in speech and in basic sound sound generation. The students are introduced to the fundamental concepts of analog signals, analog-to-digital conversion, digital-to-analog conversion, discrete time signals, digital signal processing systems, analysis and synthesis of discrete time low/high/bandpass filters, auto- and crosscorrelation between signals, spectral analysis by the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).

Lectures and Exercises

It is emphasized that the concepts, principles and algorithms are trained in lectures followed by discussion and a problem class closely related to the lectures. This is followed by hands-on exercises in Matlab, where possible, speech signals and basic sound generation will be used for illustrating the concepts. It is the intention that each student, during the course, develops Matlab functions which demonstrate signal processing concepts on speech signals and on basic sound generation.

MAT Edward Neuman, Matlab Tutorials, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. To be distributed at the lectures and can be downloaded from course material download page.

Computer Resources

Access to Matlab, Signal Processing Toolbox and a sound card. Each student should also have one set of headphones.

Prerequisite

Mathematics at Danish Highschool level A such as:

  • Basic algebra, and equations.
  • Vectors.
  • Trigonometric functions such as sin, cos, and tan.
  • Triangle formulas such as Pythagoras equation.
  • Polynomials.
  • Exponential and logarithmic functions.
  • Basic statistics such as histogram and mean value.

Credit Points

7.5 ECTS, corresponding to 15 hours a week in 12 weeks. If the course is in conjunction with a signal processing project, the credit will be 15 ECTS.

Examination Requirements

The exercises are approved. Oral examination with 13-scale evaluation.
