THOMAS F. QUATIERI is a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, MA. He is involved in digital signal processing for speech and audio modification, coding, enhancement, and speaker recognition, and he developed MIT's graduate course in Digital Speech Processing. Quatieri's publications and papers include Speech Analysis/Synthesis Based on a Sinusoidal Representation, winner of the 1990 IEEE Signal Processing Society's Senior Award, and Energy Separation in Signal Modulations with Application to Speech Analysis, winner of the 1994 IEEE Signal Processing Society's Senior Award and the 1995 IEEE W.R.G. Baker Prize Award. A Fellow of the IEEE and a member of Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, and the Acoustical Society of America, he holds S.M., E.E., and Sc.D. degrees from MIT.

Essential principles, practical examples, current applications, and leading-edge research.

In this book, Thomas F. Quatieri presents the field's most intensive, up-to-date tutorial and reference on discrete-time speech signal processing. Building on his MIT graduate course, he introduces key principles, essential applications, and state-of-the-art research, and he identifies limitations that point the way to new research opportunities.

Quatieri provides an excellent balance of theory and application, beginning with a complete framework for understanding discrete-time speech signal processing. Along the way, he presents important advances never before covered in a speech signal processing text book, including sinusoidal speech processing, advanced time-frequency analysis, and nonlinear aeroacoustic speech production modeling. Coverage includes:

  • Speech production and speech perception: a dual view
  • Crucial distinctions between stochastic and deterministic problems
  • Pole-zero speech models
  • Homomorphic signal processing
  • Short-time Fourier transform analysis/synthesis
  • Filter-bank and wavelet analysis/synthesis
  • Nonlinear measurement and modeling techniques

The book's in-depth applications coverage includes speech coding, enhancement, and modification; speaker recognition; noise reduction; signal restoration; dynamic range compression, and more. Principles of Discrete-Time Speech Processing also contains an exceptionally complete series of examples and Matlab exercises, all carefully integrated into the book's coverage of theory and applications.
