Starting with the fundamentals of DSP methods and essential maths, this text focuses on DSP in room acoustic measurements, psycho-acoustics related filter design, machine audition (audio quality assessment), spatial audio and array technologies, surface acoustics and room design, audio pattern recognition, codecs and multi-platform delivery of contents. The book represents a new angle of application-oriented DSP techniques in audio. MATLAB is included with downloads available on the CRC site. Mini projects provide an in-depth look by researchers, professionals and students.
