ECE 646 - Digital Speech Processing

3 credits
3 hours lecture
Prerequisites: ECE 521, ECE 574, and graduate standing
Signal processing and statistical techniques used in processing speech signals providing an understanding of how these techniques are used in the coding, synthesis and recognition of speech. Topics typically include the human vocal and auditory systems, characteristics of speech signals, lossless tube model of speech production, time and frequency domain representations of speech, time-frequency speech analysis methods, homomorphic speech processing, speech coding, speech synthesis, speech recognition, pitch detection and processing, and acoustic preprocessing for speech recognition.
