Title Musical Instrument with Biometrically Controlled Timbre
Supervisor W.E. Lynch
Description Musical instrument that plays like keyboard/piano with a waveform that is generated based on scanned fingerprint data. • Each fingerprint will generate a unique sound based on its characteristic feature. • A unique fingerprint will also produce a similar sound when scanned at different times. Scope: • Programming off-the-shelf controller board o Image Processing o Audio Processing • Analog Post Processing o Filter/Amplifier/Envelope • Input Signal Acquisition o Keyboard Controller (ADC/MUX) o Fingerprint Detection • On-Board Speaker o Signal Re-Routing Circuitry for External Amplifier/Speaker
Student Requirement • High Level Programming • Microcontroller Programming • Audio Signal Analysis (MATLAB) • Image Processing • Circuit Assembly • Filter/Amplifier Design • Digital Design
Tools MATLAB, Oscilloscope, Spectrum Analyzer, THD Analyzer, Audio processing Controller Board IDE, Microcontroller IDE + Programmer, Circuit Simulation Software PCB Design Software.
