Audio is an integral part of multimedia informatics and has several applications including smart devices, security, surveillance, human-computer interaction, robotics, forensics, ubiquitous systems and assistive technologies.
This course is intended to introduce to students how to extract information exploiting the audio modality and utilize this information in present and future multimedia information systems. Students will learn about the systems requirements, algorithm design, implementation and development of audio information systems. Objective performance metrics within the context of their applications, relevant policies and standards will be discussed.
