Applications of digital signal processing to audio and acoustics

Today, the main applications of audio DSP are high quality audio coding and the digital generation and manipulation of music signals. They share common research topics including perceptual measurement techniques and analysis/synthesis methods. Additional important topics are hearing aids using signal processing technology and hardware architectures for digital signal processing of audio. In all these areas the last decade has seen a significant amount of application oriented research. This book is suitable for advanced level courses and serves as a valuable reference for researchers in the field. Interested and informed engineers will also find the book to be useful in their work.
