This master’s thesis deals with the reconstruction of missing sections of an audio signal. The primary focus of the thesis is on the implementation of the method proposed by Walter Etter. Furthermore, the thesis proposes a modification of the Etter’s method for one-sided gap filling in audio signals. The theoretical section of the thesis derives commonly used methods and algorithms in the field of audio inpainting and AR modeling, such as LPC or the Burg algorithm. It also provides a detailed description of the derivation of the Etter’s method and its one-sided modification. In the practical part of the thesis, Etter’s method is implemented in both described forms in the Matlab environment, and examples of inpainting are presented. To compare the quality of signal gap filling using Etter’s method with competing methods, an experiment was conducted on a test database of audio recordings. The results of the experiment are evaluated using objective metrics and a subjective listening test. In the conclusion, possible practical applications of both variants of the Etter’s method are briefly proposed, taking into account their advantages and shortcomings.

Student prezentoval výsledky své práce a komise byla seznámena s posudky. Otázky: Kde vidíte největší rozdíl ve výpočetní náročnosti dvou navržených módů metody? Můžete např. pomocí profileru Matlabu prezentovat hlavní důvody zdržení v nekauzálním módu a jak by toto šlo řešit? Navrhněte způsob, jak zvýšit kvalitu rekonstrukce Etterovy metody. Student obhájil diplomovou práci a odpověděl na otázky členů komise a oponenta.
