Abstract

Digital signal processing has been applied to a variety of signal types. In this presentation, material will be presented to describe homomorphic digital signal processing techniques which were originally used to restore old sound recordings. Audio demonstrations will be presented of the recorded voice of Enrique Caruso before and after restoration, and then again after the orchestra is electronically removed by digital signal processing techniques. These established techniques will then be modified and applied to the problem of designing a digital hearing aid guided by the physiological characteristics of the human hearing system. Results will be presented for application of digital signal processing techniques to show the improvement available through using a multiplicative AGC (automatic gain control), directional noise suppression and adaptive noise suppression. These techniques are now being implemented in newly released digital hearing aids.

Short Biography

NAME: Douglas M. Chabries

TITLE: Dean Emeritus, Ira A Fulton College of Engineering and Technology

EDUCATION:

Ph.D. Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, 1970

EXPERIENCE:

Primary emphasis is in electrical engineering with extensive background in research and development of signal processing systems and algo¬rithms, especially in the areas of acoustics, image and adaptive processing. Experience in the areas of human image perception and human auditory perception. Served as Chairman for IEEE ASSP workshop session in 1986 and selected as session chairman for IEEE/ICASSP 88. Participated with the National Academy of Science panel on noise suppression for improvement of speech intelligibility. Understanding and experience in the area of underwater acoustic environment, computer simulation and computer simulation architecture, system analysis including guidance and control and signal processing, investigation of acoustics, and analysis of scattering. Published several articles on acoustic scattering, adaptive signal processing, speech processing, synthetic aperture radar and image processing. Recent work includes the application of multi-spectral imaging to ancient texts including the Petra and Herculaneum scrolls.
