Abstract

Multimedia Systems Education Innovations: SpeechAbstractMultimedia Systems is becoming very important in undergraduate education.The word multimedia refers to speech, audio and video data.Speech, audio and video processing devices are very common-place in everyday life.This is due to the growth of popularity of personal digital assistants (PDA), cellularphones, and other embedded speech/audio/video devices. One of the major applicationsof DSP is in speech, audio and video processing.We are developing a 3-part course sequence that will help teach undergraduatesmultimedia systems. The first part of the 3-part course sequence is about speech. Thesecond and third parts will focus on audio and video. The goal is to demystify theseapplications of real-time signal processing so that undergraduates can have a mastery ofthe basic techniques.In this paper, we provide details of a course we designed for undergraduates whichfocuses on the understanding how to process speech. We provide examples of thecurriculum, what is covered and how we cover it. We also provide examples oflaboratory projects that are used to complement the class lecture sessions. We useMATLAB software in all the lab projects.We also discuss possible implementations of the speech coding and processing usinghardware such as DSPs. In the future, we plan to introduce use of FPGAs for thisapplication as well.Details of the course and our experiences in the development and offering them will bepresented at the conference.
