Seminar by James (JJ) Johnston, IEEE Signal
Processing Society Distinguished Lecturer
Location: University of Minnesota
402 Walter Library
Digital Technology Center
East Bank Campus
Minneapolis, MN 55455
Date: April 6, 2011
Speaker: James Johnston, Chief Scientist for DTS, Inc.,
Kirkland, Washington
This will be a joint meeting with the EMBS
Chapter. The meeting was conducted in
two sessions. The first session was be a tutorial by James Johnston on the Physics of Sound
and Hearing. The second session was a
tutorial on Perceptual Coding. Perceptual
coding, as compared to source coding, pays primary attention to the intended
receiver or destination of the signal, rather than the source or source model
of the signal. This destination is usually the human being. By eliminating
imperceptible information in the signal, compression rates that are
substantially better than the usual source coding rates are achieved, with
substantially more mean squared error, but better perceived quality than the
source coder.
