<DIV sercontent> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Essential principles, practical examples, current applications, and leading-edge research.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">In this book, Thomas F. Quatieri presents the field's most intensive, up-to-date tutorial and reference on discrete-time speech signal processing. Building on his MIT graduate course, he introduces key principles, essential applications, and state-of-the-art research, and he identifies limitations that point the way to new research opportunities. </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Quatieri provides an excellent balance of theory and application, beginning with a complete framework for understanding discrete-time speech signal processing. Along the way, he presents important advances never before covered in a speech signal processing text book, including sinusoidal speech processing, advanced time-frequency analysis, and nonlinear aeroacoustic speech production modeling. Coverage includes: </P> <UL> <LI>Speech production and speech perception: a dual view <LI>Crucial distinctions between stochastic and deterministic problems <LI>Pole-zero speech models <LI>Homomorphic signal processing <LI>Short-time Fourier transform analysis/synthesis <LI>Filter-bank and wavelet analysis/synthesis <LI>Nonlinear measurement and modeling techniques</LI> </UL> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">The book's in-depth applications coverage includes speech coding, enhancement, and modification; speaker recognition; noise reduction; signal restoration; dynamic range compression, and more. <I>Principles of Discrete-Time Speech Processing</I> also contains an exceptionally complete series of examples and Matlab exercises, all carefully integrated into the book's coverage of theory and applications. </P> </DIV>
