First, I would like to thank my thesis advisors, Professors Ottar Johnsen, Rolf Ingold and Fr´ed´eric Bapst for their guidance in my studies and my work. They shared with me their expertise and offered fruitful discussions and valuable insights into the different topics required for this research. Their motivation and support was very helpful. I want to thank Professor Martin Vetterli for accepting to be my fourth commit- tee member. I was very pleased that he accepted to read my work. Many famous inventions and discoveries started with a crazy idea. I would like to acknowledge Stefano Cavaglieri and Pio Pelizzari, who got the idea to take pictures of records to archive them and who shared this idea with us. Many people took part in this research project. I am particularly grateful to C´edric Milan and Christoph Sudan for their involvement and their achievements in developing the hardware tools used in this work. Many thanks also to Thierry Fumey for sharing with us his expertise in photography. Finally I would like to thank all the students, assistants and professors who worked on the VisualAudio project for semester work, diploma or bachelor thesis. My colleagues at both the Ecole d’ing´enieurs et d’architectes and the University of Fribourg also offered interesting discussions and helped with practical matters, for which they all deserve thanks. This research would not have been possible without the support of all my family. I particularly thank my wife, Ula, for her patience, understanding and encourage- ment. I would never have been able to achieve this work without her love and unconditional support. And finally, I would like to thank my daughter Sarah who let her father work during long hours and who learned very early to say ”Dad’s gone to work”... Abstract The phonographic record was the only way to store sounds until the introduction of magnetic tape in the early 50’s. Therefore there are huge collections of phonographic records, for example in radio stations and national sound archives. Such archives include pressed discs, which were produced in mass by record companies for com- mercial distribution, as well as direct cut discs obtained by the direct recording with often a great cultural value and available only as single copies. Many records are deteriorating with time. Worse, many records are in an advanced stage of decay and would be destroyed by the movement of the stylus from even the best turnta- bles. Thus, we risk loosing an important cultural heritage, if no alternative playback system is developed. In record players, a needle follows the position of the groove and converts it into an electrical signal corresponding to the sound. This means that the radial displace- ment of the groove contains the sound information. Thus the sound information is visible and it is then possible to extract it by image processing techniques. These observations lead to the VisualAudio project, which proposes an optical system to extract the sound from phonographic records. The VisualAudio concept proposes first to take the record in picture, in order to have a photographic copy of the record and of the sound. This photographic sound copy can be stored for long term archiv- ing. Then the film is digitized using a specially designed rotating scanner, and the image is processed in order to extract the recorded sound. Thus this system can play records without deteriorating them and it is also able to play severely damaged records. This work focuses on the image processing parts of the VisualAudio project. The image acquisition system is thoroughly studied to understand the image formation process as well as all kinds of degradations, which may affect the final sound quality. Based on this analysis, a groove model is proposed, in order to develop dedicated image extraction and signal correction methods. The whole system is then evaluated to point out the strengths and weaknesses of the VisualAudio sound extraction process. R´esum´e Le disque phonographique ´etait le principal support utilis´epourenregistreretcon- server du contenu sonore jusqu’`a l’introduction de la bande magn´etique au d´ebut des ann´ees 50. Ainsi il existe actuellement d’importantes collections de disques phono- graphiques dans les archives nationales, les stations radio et les phonoth`eques. Ces archives poss`edent des disques press´es, produits de fa¸con industrielle pour la dis- tribution commerciale, ainsi que des disques grav´es, obtenus par l’enregistrement en direct de conf´erences ou d’´emissions radios. Les disques grav´es sont ainsi des copies uniques, qui ont souvent une grande valeur culturelle. Mais beaucoup de disques se d´et´eriorent avec le temps, et certains sont tellement d´egrad´es, qu’ils se d´ecomposeraient au seul contact d’une aiguille de tourne-disque. Nous risquons ainsi de perdre une importante partie de notre patrimoine culturel, si nous ne trouvons pas un nouveau syst`eme de lecture pour ces disques. Dans les tourne-disques, une aiguille suit le parcours du sillon le long du disque et convertit le d´eplacement lat´eral en un signal ´electrique correspondant au son. Cela signifie que le d´eplacement lat´eral du sillon contient l’information sonore. Ainsi le contenu sonore est visible et il est donc possible d’extraire le son par des techniques de traitement d’image. Ces observations sonta ` la base du projet VisualAudio, qui propose une m´ethode optique pour extraire le contenu des disques phonographiques. L’id´ee du projet VisualAudio consistea ` prendre tout d’abord une photographie du disque, afin d’en conserver une copie pour un archivagea ` long terme. Ce film est ensuite num´eris´e`a l’aide d’un scanner rotatif con¸cu sp´ecialement dans le cadre de ce projet, et l’image num´erique est analys´ee afin d’en extraire le contenu sonore. Ainsi VisualAudio permet d’extraire le son des disques sans contact avec leur surface. Ce syst`eme est ´egalement capable d’extraire le son de disques gravement endommag´es. Ce travail de th`ese se concentre sur la partie traitement d’image du projet Vi- sualAudio. Le syst`eme d’acquisition d’image est tout d’abord analys´eend´etail, afin de comprendre le processus de formation d’image ainsi que tous les types de d´egradations qui peuvent affecter la qualit´e de l’image et du son extrait. Sur la base de cette analyse, nous proposons un mod`ele de sillon qui est utilis´epourd´evelopper les m´ethodes d’extraction du son et de correction du signal. Le syst`eme est ensuite ´evalu´e afin de comprendre les avantages et inconv´enients du syst`eme de lecture et d’archivage VisualAudio.

  • Canadian Beatles Albums Identification Guide Updated: 22 De 16
    Canadian Beatles Albums Identification Guide Updated: 22 De 16 Type 1 Rainbow Label Capitol Capitol Records of Canada contracted Beatlemania long before their larger and better-known counterpart to the south. Canadian Capitol's superior decision-making brought Beatles records to Canada in early 1963. After experimenting with the release of a few singles, Capitol was eager to release the Beatles' second British album in Canada. Sources differ as to the release date of the LP, but surely by December 2, 1963, Canada's version of With the Beatles became the first North American Beatles album. Capitol-USA and Capitol-Canada were negotiating the consolidation of their releases, but the US release of The Beatles' Second Album had a title and contained songs that were inappropriate for Canadian release. After a third unique Canadian album, album and single releases were unified. From Something New on, releases in the two countries were nearly identical, although Capitol-Canada continued to issue albums in mono only. At the time when Beatlemania With the Beatles came out, most Canadian pop albums were released in the "6000 Series." The label style in 1963 was a rainbow label, similar to the label used in the United States but with print around the rim of the label that read, "Mfd. in Canada by Capitol Records of Canada, Ltd. Registered User. Copyrighted." Those albums which were originally issued on this label style are: Title Catalog Number Beatlemania With the Beatles T-6051 (mono) Twist and Shout T-6054 (mono) Long Tall Sally T-6063 (mono) Something New T-2108 (mono) Beatles' Story TBO-2222 (mono) Beatles '65 T-2228 (mono) Beatles '65 ST-2228 (stereo) Beatles VI (mono) T-2358 Beatles VI (stereo) ST-2358 NOTE: In 1965, shortly before the release of Beatles VI, Capitol-Canada began to release albums in both mono and stereo.

  • High Bandwidth Acoustics – Transients/Phase/ and the Human Ear
    Project Number: FB IQP HB10 HIGH BANDWIDTH ACOUSTICS – TRANSIENTS/PHASE/ AND THE HUMAN EAR An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Samir Zutshi 8/26/2010 Approved: Professor Frederick Bianchi, Major Advisor Daniel Foley, Co-Advisor Abstract Life over 20 kHz has been a debate that resides in the audio society today. The research presented in this paper claims and confirms the existence of data over 20 kHz. Through a series of experiments involving various microphone types, sampling rates and six instruments, a short-term Fourier transform was applied to the transient part of a single note of each instrument. The results are graphically shown in spectrum form alongside the wave file for comparison and analysis. As a result, the experiment has given fundamental evidence that may act as a base for many branches of its application and understanding, primarily being the effect of this lost data on the ears and the mind.

Dickson and Antonia Dickson. “My intention is to have such a happy combination of electricity and photography that a man can sit in his own parlor and see reproduced on a screen the forms of the players in an opera produced on a distant stage, and, as he sees their movements, he will hear the sound of their voices as they talk or sing or laugh... [B]efore long it will be possible to apply this system to prize fights and boxing exhibitions.

Saphir: Optical Playback of Damaged and Delaminated Analogue Audio Disc Records JEAN-HUGUES CHENOT, LOUIS LABORELLI, JEAN-ÉTIENNE NOIRÉ, Institut National de l’Audiovisuel, France 14 The goal of optical playback of analogue audio discs records has been pursued since at least 1929. Several different approaches have been demonstrated to work. But in most cases the playback quality is worse than using mechanical playback. The Saphir process uses a specifically designed colour illuminator that exploits the reflective properties of the disc material to highlight subtle changes in orientation of the groove walls, even at highest frequencies (20kHz).
