Rate–distortion theory
Rate–distortion theory is a major branch of information theory which provides the theoretical foundations for lossy data compression; it addresses the problem of determining the minimal number of bits per symbol, as measured by the rate R, that should be communicated over a channel, so that the source (input signal) can be approximately reconstructed at the receiver (output signal) without exceeding an expected distortion D. Rate–distortion theory gives an analytical expression for how much compression can be achieved using lossy compression methods.
Parole
La parole est le langage articulé humain (même si des études ethologiques et philosophiques sont en cours pour déterminer si d’autres animaux pourraient être considérés comme dotés de parole, notamment les perroquets) destiné à communiquer la pensée, et est à distinguer des communications orales diverses, comme les cris, les alertes ou les gémissements. « Articuler la parole » consiste à former des signes audibles, les syllabes, formant les mots qui constituent des symboles.
Microphone array
A microphone array is any number of microphones operating in tandem. There are many applications: Systems for extracting voice input from ambient noise (notably telephones, speech recognition systems, hearing aids) Surround sound and related technologies Binaural recording Locating objects by sound: acoustic source localization, e.g., military use to locate the source(s) of artillery fire. Aircraft location and tracking.
Tube sound
Tube sound (or valve sound) is the characteristic sound associated with a vacuum tube amplifier (valve amplifier in British English), a vacuum tube-based audio amplifier. At first, the concept of tube sound did not exist, because practically all electronic amplification of audio signals was done with vacuum tubes and other comparable methods were not known or used. After introduction of solid state amplifiers, tube sound appeared as the logical complement of transistor sound, which had some negative connotations due to crossover distortion in early transistor amplifiers.
Audio system measurements
Audio system measurements are a means of quantifying system performance. These measurements are made for several purposes. Designers take measurements so that they can specify the performance of a piece of equipment. Maintenance engineers make them to ensure equipment is still working to specification, or to ensure that the cumulative defects of an audio path are within limits considered acceptable. Audio system measurements often accommodate psychoacoustic principles to measure the system in a way that relates to human hearing.
Sound recording and reproduction
Sound recording and reproduction is the electrical, mechanical, electronic, or digital inscription and re-creation of sound waves, such as spoken voice, singing, instrumental music, or sound effects. The two main classes of sound recording technology are analog recording and digital recording. Sound recording is the transcription of invisible vibrations in air onto a storage medium such as a phonograph disc. The process is reversed in sound reproduction, and the variations stored on the medium are transformed back into sound waves.
Scaled correlation
In statistics, scaled correlation is a form of a coefficient of correlation applicable to data that have a temporal component such as time series. It is the average short-term correlation. If the signals have multiple components (slow and fast), scaled coefficient of correlation can be computed only for the fast components of the signals, ignoring the contributions of the slow components. This filtering-like operation has the advantages of not having to make assumptions about the sinusoidal nature of the signals.
Traitement du son
Le traitement du son est la branche du traitement du signal qui s'applique aux signaux audio, dans le but notamment d'en améliorer la qualité, de les compresser, ou d'en extraire de l'information. Le terme analogique désigne quelque chose qui est mathématiquement représenté par une fonction continue. Donc un signal analogique est un signal représenté par un flux continu de donnée, ici dans un circuit électrique sous la forme de tension ou de courant.
Perception de la parole
La perception de la parole est le processus par lequel les humains sont capables d'interpréter et de comprendre les sons utilisés dans le langage. L'étude de la perception de la parole est reliée aux champs de la phonétique, de phonologie en linguistique, de psychologie cognitive et de perception en psychologie. Les recherches dans ce domaine essaient de comprendre comment les auditeurs humains reconnaissent les phonèmes (sons de la paroles) ou autres sons tels que la syllabe ou les rimes, et utilisent cette information pour comprendre le langage parlé.
Pearson correlation coefficient
In statistics, the Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) is a correlation coefficient that measures linear correlation between two sets of data. It is the ratio between the covariance of two variables and the product of their standard deviations; thus, it is essentially a normalized measurement of the covariance, such that the result always has a value between −1 and 1. As with covariance itself, the measure can only reflect a linear correlation of variables, and ignores many other types of relationships or correlations.
