Artificial Neural Network Prediction Of Wavelet Sub-Bands For Audio Compression
Abstract:
A discrete waveform, such as an audio recording, can be represented by a series of wavelet sub-bands, produced by passing the waveform through a discrete wavelet transfer function. The audio recording chosen is considered to be easy listening music, and it is hoped that the wavelet sub-bands generated will possess an inherent predictability. Experimentation is done on the software level, using Matlab to calculate the wavelet sub-bands of the chosen waveform, and to train a backpropagation neural network using these wavelet sub-bands. This thesis investigates the possibility of predicting the N+1 th sub-band of a wavelet transform given the first N sub-bands, with the intention of adequately reconstructing the original waveform.
