Audio and Acoustics Signal Processing: the Quest for High Fidelity continues
IEEE PLES&CE joint Chapter/Toronto Section invites you to the followig DL event:
The dream of high fidelity continues since more than 100 years. In the last decades, signal processing has contributed many new solutions and a vast amount of additional knowledge to this field. These include
- simple solutions like matrix multichannel systems,
- audio coding which changed the world of music distribution and listening habits
- active noise control
- active modification of room acoustics
- search and recommendation technologies to find your favourite music
- and many more …
So are there any problems left to be solved?
Among others, I see two main research areas:
- Music Information Retrieval (MIR), helping us to find and organise music, or teaching playing musical instruments
- Immersive technologies for movie theatres and eventually our homes, creating the illusion of being at some other place
For such systems we use our knowledge about hearing, especially how ear and brain work together to form the sensation of sound. However, our knowledge about hearing, about psychoacoustics is still far from complete. In fact, just in the last few years we have learned a lot about what we don’t know.
The talk will touch on a number of the subjects above, explain some current work and its applications and finally talk about open research questions regarding psychoacoustics and the evaluation of audio quality.
