Master Thesis in Digital Signal Processing
4 weeks ago
Category: DSP or Acoustic
Scope: 2 students completing 30 credits (20 weeks) each.
Background
Axis Communications has a growing number of products which includes paging systems. The loudspeakers are installed in many environments including outdoors and in large halls. This means that security announcements need to be heard and understood in a variety of conditions. There are many methods to measure and gauge speech intelligibility for public address equipment. The goal of this master thesis is to research which methods exist and determine which is the best fit for Axis's needs.
Objective
- Catalog and evaluate the various speech intelligibility methods considering that background noise and wind will mask and degrade the loudspeaker's address signal.
- Develop an objective evaluation methodology using standardized metrics.
- Gather user feedback to capture the human experience of intelligibility.
- Summarize these and use them to specify design aspects that should be emphasized in our future products.
- Create prototypes implementing suggested design changes and validate their effectiveness.
Requirements
For this thesis proposal, we target students with a strong interest in digital signal processing of audio signals. Most likely you are studying a Master Program in Signal Processing, Acoustics or Engineering Physics.
Application Guidelines
- Applications are accepted in both Swedish and English, and you apply via the proposal advert.
- The announced thesis is open only to students affiliated with a Swedish University/College either directly or via an exchange program.
- When the thesis proposal states that it includes two students working together, we would like you to apply in pairs. In these cases, send one application each but make sure to clearly state in your application who your co-applicant is. If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact us.
- Please attach your CV and University/College grade summary.
