Image-Processing Methods Reconstruct Archival Audio Recordings
Jun 1, 2008 — Point-and-click mp3 files make it hard to appreciate the first attempts to capture sound on glass, wax, tinfoil or even paper. Many of those records, albeit fragile and often noisy, survive. Carl Haber and his colleagues at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, who developed image analysis tools for high-energy particle detection, have applied those methods to the task of maintaining and preserving sound recordings of historical importance. Mechanical recording impresses the...
