Lecture 1 Blog, ECE438 Fall 2010, Prof. Boutin
Monday August 23, 2010 (Week 1) - See Course Outline.
In the first lecture, we covered the syllabus and gave a short introduction to Rhea. We then talked about what is "Digital Signal Processing". In particular, we discussed the two following applications:
- Historical Preservation: Original Caruso (1904) versus Caruso digitally processed
- A software to remove the sound of vuvuzelas at World Cup of Soccer, 2010.
The actual material covered was very similar the material of the first lecture of Fall 2009. Lecture notes for that lecture are here. (These would be a very good starting point in case you were thinking of typing the notes and sharing them on Rhea.)
Action items for students include
- Read Rhea's disclaimer.
- Read the ECE438 Peer legacy page and consider contributing to other peer legacy pages, such as ECE201, ECE202, ECE301, and EPICS.
The main goal of this lecture was to clarify the course policies and get everybody excited about the subject!
Next: Lecture 2
