Spanias A., Painter T., Atti V. Audio Signal Processing and Coding

John Wiley, 2007. — 486 p.Audio processing and recording has been part of telecommunication and entertainment systems for more than a century. Moreover bandwidth issues associated with audio recording, transmission, and storage occupied engineers from the very early stages in this field. A series of important technological developments paved the way from early phonographs to magnetic tape recording, and lately compact disk (CD), and super storage devices. In the following, we capture some of the main events and milestones that mark the history in audio recording and storage.
The purpose of this book is to provide an in-depth treatment of audio compression algorithms and standards. The topic is currently occupying several communities in signal processing, multimedia, and audio engineering. The intended readership for this book includes at least three groups. At the highest level, any reader with a general scientific background will be able to gain an appreciation for the heuristics of perceptual coding. Secondly, readers with a general electrical and computer engineering background will become familiar with the essential signal processing techniques and perceptual models embedded in most audio coders. Finally, undergraduate and graduate students with focuses in multimedia, DSP, and computer music will gain important knowledge in signal analysis and audio coding algorithms. The vast body of literature provided and the tutorial aspects of the book make it an asset for audiophiles as well.Signal Processing Essentials
