Course objective
To study the analysis of various M-band filter
banks for audio coding
To learn various transform coders for audio
coding.
To study the speech processing methods in
time and frequency domain
To study the basic concepts of speech and
audio.
Course outcome
On successful completion you should be able to:
1. Express the speech signal in terms of its time domain and frequency
domain representations and the different ways in which it can be
modelled.
2. Express the simple features used in speech and audio applications
3. Able to understand the operation of algorithms, and the effects of varying
parameter values within these;
4. Synthesise block diagrams for speech applications, know the purpose of
the various blocks, and detail algorithms that could be used to implement
them;
5. Able to Implement components of speech processing systems, including
speech recognition and speaker recognition, in MATLAB.
6. Able to understand the behaviour of previously unseen speech processing
systems and hypothesise about their merits.

1. Digital Audio Signal Processing, Second Edition, Udo Zolzer, A John Wiley& sons Ltd
Publicatioons,2008.
This book ... covers noiseshaping, gives you formulas
for peaking and shelving
filters used in mixing
consoles, tells you how to
implement a state of the art
reverb or dynamic
compression algorithm and
explains how audio
compression using
psychoacoustic effects
works. The mathematics are
not that complicated, but
you should already know
what FFT or IIR stands for
and how they work to be
able to use the book.

Vocoders:
Largely are speech model-based and rely on a small set of model parameters.
Operate at the low bit range of 1.2-4.8 kbps
Lower quality then waveform coders.
Hybrid coders:
Partly waveform based and partly speech model-based
Operate in the 4.8 16 kbps range
