Abstract

Audio signal modeling and simulation is important in several coding, noise removal, and recognition applications. This paper focuses on implementing models for loudness estimation and their use in estimating parameters on iOS mobile devices (iPhones and iPads). We briefly address estimating excitation patterns and loudness through auditory models. These loudness estimation and other algorithms were implemented in the award winning educational iOS app iJDSP for performing DSP simulations on mobile devices. The modules were introduced to graduate students in the general signal processing area, to evaluate their effectiveness as teaching tools. The evaluation process involved giving the students a pre-quiz, guiding them through hands-on activities on the iOS app, and finally, a post-quiz. Assessments results were positive with noticeable improvement of student understanding of topics such as spectrograms and linear predictive coding.
