A Novel Approach to Synthesize Sounds of Some Indian Musical Instruments using DWT
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a novel algorithm based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) approach has been applied to synthesize the sounds produced by a few traditional Indian musical instruments, viz. flute, shehnai and sitar. In this algorithm, the level of decomposition of wavelets is varied till the error norm between the original signal and that generated through DWT is below a desired level. It is observed that when the wavelet decomposition level is varied, the energy retained in wavelet coefficients varies with the type of the wavelet and its decomposition level. It is further observed that the maximum level of decomposition for the three sound signals is different and the signals are also reconstructed with the wavelet coefficients only up-to the maximum level of decomposition with lesser number of samples. The quality of sound as obtained through this algorithm is perceptually close to original sound signal.

Intelligent scalable image watermarking robust against progressive DWT-based compression using genetic algorithms
Image watermarking refers to the process of embedding an authentication message, called watermark, into the host image to uniquely identify the ownership. In this paper a novel, intelligent, scalable, robust wavelet-based watermarking approach is proposed. The proposed approach employs a genetic algorithm to find nearly optimal positions to insert watermark. The embedding positions coded as chr...
متن کاملStatistical Approach for Sounds Modeling
This article introduces a mathematical approach to extracting some statistical parameters from noise-like sounds. This approach could define a new spectral model or extend existing ones to analyze and synthesize such complex sounds. In the future, this method could also permit electro-acoustic composers to make musical transformations. We have performed several synthesis tests with synthetic an...
متن کاملBinary Decision Tree Classification of Musical Sounds
This paper presents a novel method of classifying musical sounds. An earlier work has shown the ability of a subset of the timbre attributes of musical sounds to classify musical sounds correctly in instrument families. This work focuses on the interpretation of the timbre attributes. The question is: which timbre attributes are useful for the classification of the sounds? These attributes are ...

متن کاملComparative Study of Design Berthing Energy on Fender as per Indian Standard IS4651 Part-3:1974 and British Standard BS6349 Part-4:1994
Berthing force is a critical dynamic lateral force in the design of berthing structures, having equal relevance when compared to seismic forces. Besides, the construction cost of berthing structures is very high which can be optimized by calculating precise design berthing energy on fender and selecting optimum fender system. In the present study, design berthing energy of bulk carriers having ...
