The Spectrum analysis of different types of saxophones
Greiplová, Barbora ; Mojdl, Edgar (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the sound of three types of Yamaha saxophones, specifically soprano, alto and tenor saxophone. Lists the basic parameters of the instrument, how it forms the tone and how it is typical. It focuses on characteristics in its tone using spectral analysis, LPC analysis and directional characteristics. The work focuses on the common properties of saxophones as instruments, it also looks for differences between selected types of saxophones and between individual tones. The results are compared in graphs, tables and verbal evaluation.

The Influence of single harmonics or formants on timbre color perception
Klimeš, Martin ; Indrák, Michal (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis is dealing with the research of the influence of individual harmonic on the perception of sound color. An application was created with a questionnaire in which respondents assessed a total of 29 samples on different bipolar scales.The samples were either modeled by additive synthesis or created by modifying musical instruments. The aim was to investigate how and what combinations of higher harmonic affect the perception of sound color. The experiment is based on the semantic differential method. The samples were divided into several groups and within these groups they were compared and related to the expected color perception.

Research for enclosed spaces impulse response influence on the auditory perception
Kišac, Matej ; Kurc, David (referee) ; Orlovský, Kristián (advisor)
This thesis deals with the acoustics of enclosed spaces and psychoacoustics. The first part is based on theoretical information about main structure of room acoustics and we concentrate on impulse response of the room. Next part is directed to the description of connection between basic parameters and room impulse response and their properties. These properties may be evaluated by means of methods processed in the third portion. Then we briefly focus on the panning process. The following section offers the knowledge acquired in the simulations of selected parameters(spacious impression, clarity, intimacy). In conclusion, it contains a solution of algorithm to simplify the generation of impulse response and comparison of objective parameters of my algorithm and the image method.

Testing of room acoustics
Toufarová, Tereza ; Špalek, Karel (referee) ; Sigmund, Milan (advisor)
This paper presents parameters of evaluation of acoustic quality of the space. It is divided into parts presenting physical principle of the origin and movement of the acoustic signal, principles of its processing with current technology and properties of the acoustic field. This is followed by an analysis of the musical part and notes on psychoacoustics. The document contains a description of relevant parameters of acoustic spaces and way in which we can reach desired results, including material analysis. The paper mainly focuses on description of relevant parameters of three acoustic spaces which were measured. The last part of the work is a program for elementary acoustical measurement, which can be provided by means of commonly accessible equipment such as a notebook or a personal computer.

The analysis of the clarinet spectrum from different manufacturers
Suchánek, Tomáš ; Mojdl, Edgar (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
Bachelor’s thesis focuses on spectral analysis of six B clarinets made by manufacturers Buffet Crampon, RZ Woodwind Manufacturing and Yamaha. Instruments were tested by two professional musicians with different timbral preferences and the resulting spectrum is then applied to how psychoacoustic measurements define timbre perception. Furthermore, the impact of different dynamics or reeds is discussed and significant part of analysis also describes directivity patterns of individual higher harmonics or characteristic formant areas.

Audio Signal Declipping and Dequantization Using Sparsity-Based Methods
Záviška, Pavel ; Šroubek,, Filip (referee) ; Koldovský,, Zbyněk (referee) ; Rajmic, Pavel (advisor)
Audio signály jsou náchylné k různým typům poškození, přičemž jedním z nejčastějších a nejproblematičtějších druhů poškození je clipping. Tato dizertační práce se zaměřuje na rekonstrukci zvukových signálů poškozených nelineárním zkreslením s hlavním zaměřením na declipping a dekvantizaci a popisuje vědecký přínos v této oblasti s využitím metod založených na řídké reprezentaci. První část dizertační práce se zabývá problematikou declippingu a představuje několik přístupů založených na řídkých reprezentacích signálů. Součástí je jak originální výzkum, tak i převzaté algoritmy, které však byly v rámci této práce reimplementovány nebo modifikovány. Kvalita výstupů rekonstrukčních algoritmů je vyhodnocena jak pomocí ukazatele SDR, tak i s využitím percepčně založených metrik. V další části se práce zaměřuje na zakomponování psychoakustiky do problému declippingu pomocí váhování transformačních koeficientů s třemi navrženými způsoby konstrukce vah. Je zde dokázáno, že při správně zvolených vahách je možné výrazně zlepšit kvalitu rekonstrukce a vyrovnat se tak nejlepším algoritmům při zachování nízké výpočetní náročnosti. V poslední části práce je pozornost je také věnována metodám umožňujícím odchylku ve spolehlivé části signálu. V tomto směru práce zkoumá percepční vliv prostého nahrazení těchto spolehlivých vzorků, identifikuje jeho hlavní nevýhody a následně představuje metody, které kompenzují negativní efekty způsobené tímto nahrazením. Je ukázáno, že s využitím těchto technik je možné bez významného navýšení výpočetní náročnosti výrazně zlepšit dosaženou kvalitu rekonstrukce. Vybrané algoritmy jsou rovněž aplikovány na problém audio dekvantizace. Součástí práce jsou repozitáře obsahující implementace všech představených metod.

Analysis of pitch perception depending on the spectrum
Slávik, Martin ; Indrák, Michal (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis is dealing with the research of the influence of individual harmonic components on the perception of sound height. As a part of the work has been made an internet questionnaire on a web address www.analyzavyšek.9e.cz, where individual respondents completed listening test compound of 46 samples. This experiment is based on semantic differential method. Individual samples are compound of sine wave – tone and examined sample, which respondents evaluates on three bipolar scales. The samples were either modelled by additive synthesis or modified sampled sounds of instruments. Individual samples were divided to four major groups and other minor groups for clarity. The purpose was to find which parts, combinations and harmonic components of sound and tone can affect perception of tone height.

Psychoacoustic model of human hearing
Lepa, Ondřej ; Smékal, Zdeněk (referee) ; Sysel, Petr (advisor)
This thesis deals with human auditory system and psychoacoustics. Deals with psychoacoustic model of standard MPEG following the norm ISO/IEC 13818-3, Information technology - Generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information Part 3: Audio. Closer look is given to determination of PAM, to methods of masking and what potential of masking it has. Next the simple computation of psychoacoustic values is~done in Matlab environment.

The analysis of psychoacoustic perception of chords composed from different full and variously colored signals
Vejmělka, Daniel ; Musil, Jaroslav (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis is dealing with the impact of frequency spectrum of musical sounds on psycho-acoustical perception of the listener. It studies how differently filled harmonic spectrums can influence listener’s ability to determine individual notes in a chord and what influence, on recognizability of a chord, inharmonic elements have. It explores different methods of psycho-acoustic measurements and further data processing. The experiment is based on a method of paired comparisons and was realized in a form of listening test with more than 100 participants. The test is focused on typical representatives of different groups of musical instruments. It studies the impact of different colors of sound used in different types of chords. It further deals with statistical processing of the recovered data.
