How to measure audio Quality?
Presenter: Thilo Koch
In our daily lives we are exposed to many kinds of sound - traffic noise, people talking, crowds, music, etc. Consequently, the awareness of quality and its perception is increasing. Although anyone has some individual understanding of what audio quality is about, the research aimed at quantifying the perceived audio quality corresponds to a relative new scientific field. Objective quantification of perceived audio quality is a complex topic which involves a number of technical and scientific issues, from audio recording, signal processing, and room acoustics, to statistics and experimental psychology. In this seminar we will give an introduction on what is audio quality evaluation, and an overview on how experiments are planned and executed, and how their results are analyzed and interpreted.<p>
