Signal Processing Application


This was a group Experiment - finding out relevant papers and patents on DSPP applications. We, as a group of 5 - Abhijit Haridas, Shreyas Padte, Rishi Gupta, Sakshi Joshi and myself had to study on research  papers and patents which implemented compression of the audio signal. We chose to study "Audio Compression" as an application.

Patent Review

Patent No: US 20160344356 A1                                                                                                                        Publication date: Nov 24, 2016                                                                                                                                            Inventors: Peter Grosche, Yue Lang, Qing Zhang           

Summary:

This is the audio compression system comprising of a digital filter for filtering the input audio signal, where the digital filter comprises of a frequency transfer function having a magnitude over frequency, where the magnitude is formed by an equal loudness curve of a human ear to obtain a filtered audio signal, and a compressor which is configured to compress the input audio signal upon the basis of the filtered audio signal to obtain a compressed audio signal.


Paper Review

Paper: International Journal of Engineering and Innovative Technology ISO 9001:2008 Certified                                                                                                                                                                   Volume 4, Issue 1, July 2014

Summary:

Audio compression has been carried out by various methods such as Discrete Cosine Transform, Run Length and High order shift encoding. Audio compression addresses the problem of reducing the amount of data required to represent digital audio. Also to overcome the effect of quantized noise, which can be noticed at low energized audio segments, a post processing filtering stage is introduced as last stage of decoding process.
