Signal Processing Methods for Audio, Images and Telecommunications

In recent years, rapid advances in computer hardware technology, including the development of specialised digital signal proccessors, has facilitated the development of algorithms whose applications would have been unthinkable only a short time ago. These algorithms allow for real-time applications, make use of prior knowledge, can adapt in response to a changing environment, and are designed to achieve near-optimum performance under a broad range of operating conditions. This book examines the application of such algorithms to audio, video and telecommunications. Signal Processing Methods for Audio, Images and Telecommunications is divided into four parts: methods, applications to audio, video and telecommunications. Topics covered include wavelet transforms, adapative filter design, neural networks, order statistic filters and projection methods. Each chapter has been written by a leading expert in the field. The book will be of great interest to students, researchers and engineers alike, in all areas of signal and image processing.Clarkson, Peter M. is the author of 'Signal Processing Methods for Audio, Images and Telecommunications' with ISBN 9780121757908 and ISBN 0121757900.
