{"product_id":"audio-and-speech-processing-with-paul-hill-9781498762748","title":"Audio and Speech Processing with MATLAB","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeech and audio processing has undergone a revolution in preceding decades that has accelerated in the last few years generating game-changing technologies such as truly successful speech recognition systems; a goal that had remained out of reach until very recently. This book gives the reader a comprehensive overview of such contemporary speech and audio processing techniques with an emphasis on practical implementations and illustrations using MATLAB code. Core concepts are firstly covered giving an introduction to the physics of audio and vibration together with their representations using complex numbers, Z transforms and frequency analysis transforms such as the FFT. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLater chapters give a description of the human auditory system and the fundamentals of psychoacoustics. Insights, results, and analyses given in these chapters are subsequently used as the basis of understanding of the middle section of the book covering: wideband audio compression (MP3 audio etc.), speech recognition and speech coding. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final chapter covers musical synthesis and applications describing methods such as (and giving MATLAB examples of) AM, FM and ring modulation techniques. This chapter gives a final example of the use of time-frequency modification to implement a so-called phase vocoder for time stretching (in MATLAB).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA comprehensive overview of contemporary speech and audio processing techniques from perceptual and physical acoustic models to a thorough background in relevant digital signal processing techniques together with an exploration of speech and audio applications. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA carefully paced progression of complexity of the described methods; building, in many cases, from first principles.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpeech and wideband audio coding together with a description of associated standardised codecs (e.g. MP3, AAC and GSM).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpeech recognition: Feature extraction (e.g. MFCC features), Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and deep learning techniques such as Long Short-Time Memory (LSTM) methods.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eBook and computer-based problems at the end of each chapter.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains numerous real-world examples backed up by many MATLAB functions and code.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498762743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498762748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Paul Hill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088446501119,"sku":"9781498762748","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca32be3f-c696-4da6-a39a-c21583b47276.jpg?v=1769104878","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/audio-and-speech-processing-with-paul-hill-9781498762748","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
