projects in DSP

Started by Rohit Pydimukkala January 28, 2004
I just started out with DSP and I am quite excited with my learning.
Now that I am interested in doing some small projects in DSP. Can
anyone let me know where I can find DSP projects on internet or
anywhere?

What are your interests? Do you like music, film, abstract problems? Signal Processing is a very diverse field... so pick something you like, and your interest will be maintained. You could pick Audio Processing, Image Processing, Communications Systems... Once you have an idea of which area you are interested in, have a look for some articles on the topic in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine or similar magazine. There are no shortage of interesting problems.
Now that computing power is so cheap, why not make your
own NMR/CAT scanner. Then you can look at the internals
of your own body, and save a fortune at the doctor's.

Airy R. Bean (Is that "Airhead" in disguise?), That's truly inspired. I tell you what: you provide the scanning hardware and I'll do the software. Then we can both use it. I'm really curious. When a someone asks for serious help, even in a way that may seem a little naive, why are some people moved to tease? Some people offer a kid candy, then snatch it away when it's reached for. You might be able to explain the pleasure they get in that.

Hi,
You can do some audio signal processing stuff, its a great feeling to hear
some piece of music that you have manipulated.
e.g you can take a MP3 file and try some filtering stuff on that, just the
way winamp does. Think about it.
ALso, you may like to learn how to use a Digital Signal Processor, most of
industrial DSP happens on Processors than dedicated hardware.

[snipped] C'mon Jerry, surely it's just a few magents that's required :-)
If not NMR then try sonic scans.

Here's another related idea....

Use sonic scans with an aperture just
large enough to put a fish through.

Detect those remaining bones in a supposedly
filleted fish! That'd be useful! A lot cheaper
than suing the food supplier.

What is it about modern students that they
cannot think for themselves? However, having said
that ISTR that all the 3rd year projects had to
be selected from a list, so perhaps we didn't think
either.

I've interest in image processing. I got some topics from IEEE website. Thanks a lot man.

Are you interested in real-time DSP operations performed on specialized hardware such as an audio equalizer processing live sound data, or rather DSP operations applied to static (previously acquired) data like image processing of files from a digital camera? These are just examples of course, the total number of things which can be done is very large. But the point is that there seem to be two categories of DSP "activity" which are the processing of live data, vs. the processing of static data. You can DSP the static data on your PC, while the live data DSP can be done with a PC, but is often done with specialized hardware. Both categories require application of DSP theory, but the real-time application requires as well an understanding of computing architecture and the issues involved in performing complex calculations efficiently on sometimes limited hardware. In my case, I am learning about the core concepts of DSP slowly through my own study and through experimenting using Mathematica. I just wrote an interactive Mathematica "notebook" to simulate the sampling of an arbitrary waveform, and show the spectrum of that waveform. Then I can type in the transfer function of a filter, and show the spectrum as well as time domain impulse response of the filter. Then I sample the impulse response, which produces FIR coefficients. I convolve them with the data, and plot the time domain result as well as its spectrum. It's a load of fun. Now I have begun programming an FIR filter algorithm to run on the AVR microcontroller, to apply my simulated filter to real live data. So for me, I am interested in understanding DSP theory through study and experimentation using mathematical simulation, then implementation of the simulated processes onto real-time processing microprocessors. Eventually I'll try my hand at the powerful DSP CPUs. Good day! -- _____________________ Christopher R. Carlen crobc@earthlink.net Suse 8.1 Linux 2.4.19

Hey, I am actually looking to do something more of comp based and with few sample DSP chips I can manage. I cant afford any expensive hardware. NMR/CAT scanner does make a very good project but, I guess it needs some expensive hardware.
