Course Description:

Overview of Digital Audio and its application Current state of streaming Audio on the Internet Digital Audio Processing Fundamentals. This course applies transform concepts and applied multi-media object-oriented programming. Students will apply the theories of Sampling, Spectra, Fast Fourier Transform Class, convolution and frequency space processing, compression and one-dimensional streaming. Students will apply the theories by creating programs that read processing and write audio streams. They are exposed to the elements of multi-media network delivery of data. They learn about a wide class of FFT algorithms and elementary sound synthesis. This course requires substantial programming effort and emphasis is place on good software engineering practices. Students will learn enough signal processing to take Image Processing, the follow-on course.

Schedule - Summer 2005 (Updated periodically so check regularly)

Class Performance Summary: As of Exam 1

Grading:

1/3 Homework
1/3 Mid-Term Examination
1/3 Final Exam

There will be no make-up examinations. If you are unable to take one of the mid-term examinations on the assigned date, let me know in advance to make alternative arrangements. If you are unable to take the final examination on the assigned date, then the instructor will record a course grade of incomplete which can be redeemed by taking the final examination when the course is next offered (usually 1 year later).

In case of a class cancellation, use U.S. mail, e-mail, fax, or hand delivery to send in any assignment by the Friday following the due date. The activity scheduled for a cancelled meeting date, whether exam or lecture, is automatically postponed to the next class meeting when it is eventually held. After a cancellation, an updated schedule will be issued.

Each reading assignment should be completed before the weekly meeting. Homework is due at the meeting following the week when it is assigned.

Assignments are due at the beginning of class. Assignments handed in during class lose 5 points, after class 10 points.
Late submittals lose 10 points per day including weekends and holidays.

 

Missing an exam results in a zero unless a written excuse is presented.

 

Homework requirements:

Print out a listing of the program. Print out the program input and output. You may need to do this
at various levels of detail. Hand in a labeled disk with a printout. Place the disk in a #10 letter
envelope and staple the envelope to the printout.
