Multichannel Input Moniter, Geng Lin Chen May 1990

Multichannel Input Moniter, Geng Lin Chen

Theses

In order to communicate ,with each other, people must use the same kind of language. MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, was established as a hardware and software specification which makes the communication between musical instruments become possible.

What this thesis does is interfacing a musical instrument with other devices using MIDI protocol. The hardware is a multichannel priority interrupt system which has already been done and was included in the discussion of this thesis. The focus of this thesis is concentrated on the software development of multichannel input monitor.


An Implementation Of Mht Algorithm For Adaptive Transform Coding Of Speech, Peter Battenschlag May 1990

An Implementation Of Mht Algorithm For Adaptive Transform Coding Of Speech, Peter Battenschlag

Theses

The Modified Hermite Transform (MHT), a suboptimum block transform scheme, is implemented on a TMS320C25 signal processing system with the objective of reducing the redundancy in speech signals and transmit a quantized vector representation at bitrates as less as 0.5 bits per sample.

The generation of the Hermite polynomials with a binomial and several first order IIR filter structures is presented focusing on the fact that no muliplications are required which simplifies the MHT algorithm considerably.

An assembler program performs forward and inverse transformation together with a vector quantization using adaptive bitallocation based on short-time statistics for the transform coefficients. …


Uniformity Corrector And Signal Processing For A 160 X 244-Element Ir-Ccd Camera With Ptsi Schottky-Barrier Detectors, Paul D. Blume Jan 1990

Uniformity Corrector And Signal Processing For A 160 X 244-Element Ir-Ccd Camera With Ptsi Schottky-Barrier Detectors, Paul D. Blume

Theses

An off-set-type, one point response uniformity corrector and the associated signal processing circuits was developed to be used for a 160 x 244-element IR-CCD camera with PtSi Schottky-barrier detectors. Image sensors with PtSi Schottky-barrier detectors exhibit two types of noise in the displayed video output, a temporal noise and a spatial fixed pattern noise. The performance of the image sensor, limited by the spatial noise which obscures low contrast detail and limits camera sensitivity, can be improved by a uniformity corrector. The uniformity corrector was constructed to substantially reduce the spatial noise in the output display by digitally subtracting a …
