What input to use for an AR model of a vowel sound?

I've recorded a 2-sec pronunciation of a vowel sound. The first 0.12 or so seconds of the signal are shown below. Now, I've constructed an auto-regressive (AR) 8th-order model to compress this signal. (Actually, I'm just modelling 160 samples or…

Meaning of Phase response of a filter? In simple words?

What is meant by phase response of a filter? Often it is associated with restoration of signal shape,so if a filter has linear phase response, its output looks like input otherwise output is distorted if the filter has non linear phase response…

Negative group delay and envelope advance

I am having a doubt reading about delays in signal processing. Let there be an input to a LTI system with frequency response $H(f)$, given signal $x(t) = a(t)\cos(2\pi f_ot)$, where $a(t)$ is a narrowband envelope and of bandwidth $B$ Hz, such that…

How much of a problem is the Gibbs phenomenon and would this solve it?

By iterating or nesting a sine curve like in this question I get curves like these: that seem to tend to a square wave. The eight case of these looks like: which here on purpose was chosen for it's roundness. The Mathematica code for these plots…

Gesture recognition using only simple techniques

I'm following a computer vision course and I have this exercise: write a program that, given an hand image, it can recognize if the hand is open, closed, in a punch, or holding an "ok" posture, using only the techniques provided till now (pixel 4/8…

How to Reduce Phase Lag Caused by Kalman Filter

Background I have been developing a system using a moving robot with a distance sensor against another robot. I want to control these robots by estimating relative velocity and acceleration derived from the distance sensor. So I'd like to estimate…

Beamformer implementation methods

I'm currently reading articles about the different type of beamformers. This spatial filtering is gonna be used for acoustic purposes, to focus the beam on the person we need to hear talking in a crowded environment. I think that there is a…

What do colored noises look like in the time domain?

I understand that the time domain representation of white noise looks like impulses. How do colored noises like brown, pink etc. look like when we perform an inverse Fourier Transform on them ? What could be some sources of colored noise that may…

What is the ideal FIR length, given a specific pulse length?

I am trying to ascertain what the 'ideal' FIR filter length should be, given the pulse length $T_p$ of a windowed sinusoid in noise that I seek to filter. As parameters into an FIR filter that I design, I have: $F_c = 15 \text{ kHz}$, The center…
