Digital signal processing (DSP) involves manipulating digital representations of analog signals to modify or improve them. It has various applications including audio/speech processing, image processing, and communications. DSP converts analog signals to digital via sampling and uses algorithms to measure, filter, and compress signals. It allows for advantages like error detection over analog processing. DSP is implemented using specialized processors, FPGAs, and other technologies. Case studies demonstrate how DSP improved productivity in a warehouse using speech recognition and enhanced image quality through dynamic range correction.

World DEAN MARK D. MOISES JUSTIN ROMEO A. MALICDEM Digital Signal Processing is the mathematical manipulation of an information signal to modify or improve it in some way. It refers to manipulating analog information, such as sound or photographs that has been converted into a digital form. DSP also implies the use of a data compression technique. It is also a special type of coprocessor designed for performing the mathematics involved in DSP. Most DSPs are programmable, which means that they can be used for manipulating different types of information, including sound, images, and video. It is characterized by: audio and speech signal processing, sonar and radar signal processing, sensor array processing, spectral estimation, statistical signal processing, digital image processing, signal processing for communications, control of systems, biomedical signal processing, seismic data processing, etc. Goal of DSP to measure, filter and/or compress continuous real-world analog signals. The goal of DSP is usually to measure, filter and/or compress continuous real-world analog signals. The first step is usually to convert the signal from an analog to a digital form, by sampling and then digitizing it using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), which turns the analog signal into a stream of numbers. However, often, the required output signal is another analog output signal, which requires a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Even if this process is more complex than analog processing and has a discrete value range, the application of computational power to digital signal processing allows for many advantages over analog processing in many applications, such as error detection and correction in transmission as well as data compression.
Assembly DSP algorithms have long been run on standard computers, on specialized processors called digital signal processor on purpose- built hardware such as application-specific integrated circuit (ASICs). Today there are additional technologies used for digital signal processing including more powerful general purpose microprocessors, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), digital signal controllers (mostly for industrial apps such as motor control), and stream processors, among others. Case Study On Speech Recognition On Digital Image Processing Case Study 1 Industry: Beverage Distribution Background: A liquor distributor in the Northwest was looking for a way to increase picking productivity and accuracy. Picking from paper orders was slow and error prone. With bottles of liquor varying greatly in price, picking errors were very expensive and retailers receiving incorrect orders were frustrated. The distributor implemented a 3 rd party Warehouse Management System(WMS) to replace the paper-based system, The WMS improved inventory visibility and efficiency, but the customer was still looking for additional accuracy and productivity gains. Goals Increase Accuracy and Productivity Time Productivity and Picking Accuracy for the customers. Speech Recognition Goals: Increase Accuracy and Productivity Solution: The WMS vendor identified speech recognition as a way to improve productivity. In partnership with Genesta, the WMS vendor integrated the SyVox Client speech recognition software, which allowed pickers to work hands and eyes free, Genesta recommended that the WMS vendor pair the SyVox Client with Intermecs SF51 wireless scanner, requiring pickers to scan the UPC on the bottles/cases being picked. This allowed the WMS to confirm that the correct product was selected, The SF51s unique design provided quick access to the scanner, ensuring that the addition of scanning did not reduce the productivity gains realized by adding speech recognition. Genesta Genesta is a supply chain systems development and technology deployment firm that specializes in warehouse inventory management and customized solutions to optimize warehousing and distribution.

The origins of SyVox date back to 1981 when the founders set out to develop speech recognition technology to allow users to control their computers by natural speech. SyVox developed one of the early speaker independent engines built to recognize any users natural speech. Speech Recognition Device by Syvox Speech Recognition -In computer science, it is the translation of spoken words into text. It is also known as automatic speech recognition, ASR. An individual speaker reads sections of text into the speech recognition system.
-These systems analyze the persons specific voice and use it to fine tune the recognition of that persons speech, resulting in more accurate transcription.
Value Delivered: The solution increase accuracy by assuring that the appropriate product is picked when scanned. Along with this product the SyVox voice picking program increase productivity by providing a paper- free picking system that allowed paralled information processing and a more ergonomically efficient system. Case Study 2 The Challenge: Imsense is a software start-up focused on improving images through dynamic range correction. Their proprietary algorithms had been developed for use on a standard PC computing platform. The challenge was for Argon Design to make use of their in depth graphics, imaging and semiconductor knowledge to determine whether it would be practical to implement Imsenses algorithms in hardware, making them suitable for use in handheld and video applications. Digital Image Processing The Approach: The project was addressed in two phases, first to analyse the existing algorithms and explore alternative options, before creating the optimal architecture design to implement the final algorithm. Digital Image Processing The Outcome: The output from the project provided significant detail on how the algorithms could be implemented, along with additional ideas for Imsense to further optimise their algorithms for mobile use. Case Study 2: Digital Image Processing The Outcome: The split image below shows the contrast and quality using Dynamic Range Correction (DRC). On the left hand side DRC has been applied to the image, on the right hand side the image remains un-processed.
