Reconstruction from zero crossings
Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a graph that shows how a sound wave looks like? It's kind of like a wavy line going up and down. Now, imagine you draw a line in the middle of that wavy line. Every time the wavy line crosses that middle line, it's called a "zero crossing".
When we talk about "reconstruction from zero crossings", we mean that we can use those zero crossings to figure out what the original sound wave looked like! Pretty cool, right?
So, let's say we have a recording of someone saying "hi". We can look at the sound wave and see where the zero crossings are. Then, we can use some fancy math to figure out what kind of sound wave would have those same zero crossings.
It's kind of like a puzzle - we're trying to put together the pieces (in this case, the zero crossings) to recreate what the original sounds like. And that's basically what "reconstruction from zero crossings" means!
