This was a group experiment. We were told to study and review patent of any DSP application an dthen implement the same. The signal processing was to be done on 1D signal. Signals like audio signal,ECG,EMG etc. are 1D signals. The application we selected was 'Audio Feature Extraction and Correlation'. The group members are Dhvanil Mandalia, Ameya Lokre, Chetan Jogi, Mohit Karandikar
The patent i reviewed was 'Audio Feature Extraction'
Patent No. : US20050232411 A1.
Summary:
Audio signature extraction, basically describes a method to detect a specific program or channel on basis of a unique key signature. This is used in television sets to identify various channel. The signature can be sent with data or when frame transmission is offline. The easiest method to implement this is using correlation. An incoming time domain moment can be captured and correlated with a stored reference signal to identify whether it belongs to a specific channel or not.
We implemented a system which stores time domian reference signal and correlates it with a test signal. If the correlation output is 1 then the signal is identified.
