Sommario/riassunto |
|
The enormous advances in digital signal processing (DSP) technology have contributed to the wide dissemination and success of speech communication devices - be it GSM and UMTS mobile telephones, digital hearing aids, or human-machine interfaces. Digital speech transmission techniques play an important role in these applications, all the more because high quality speech transmission remains essential in all current and next generation communication networks. Enhancement, coding and error concealment techniques improve the transmitted speech signal at all stages of the transmission chain, from |
