Professor Noubari's recommendation: "Professor Starks book provides an effective entry into the field for engineering students who have little or no prior knowledge of this important subject. Avaibility of collection of computer codes and mfiles in combination with topics of the book, makes the book highly valuable to enhance student learning of the subject matter."

Although Digital Signal Processing (DSP) has long been considered an electrical engineering topic, recent developments have also generated significant interest from the computer science community. DSP applications in the consumer market, such as bioinformatics, the MP3 audio format, and MPEG-based cable/satellite television have fueled a desire to understand this technology outside of hardware circles. Designed for upper division engineering and computer science students as well as practicing engineers and scientists, Digital Signal Processing Using MATLAB & Wavelets, Second Edition emphasizes the practical applications of signal processing. Over 100 MATLAB examples and wavelet techniques provide the latest applications of DSP, including image processing, games, filters, transforms, networking, parallel processing, and sound. This Second Edition also provides the mathematical processes and techniques needed to ensure an understanding of DSP theory. Designed to be incremental in difficulty, the book will benefit readers who are unfamiliar with complex mathematical topics or those limited in programming experience. Beginning with an introduction to MATLAB programming, it moves through filters, sinusoids, sampling, the Fourier transform, the z-transform and other key topics. Two chapters are dedicated to the discussion of wavelets and their applications. A CD-ROM (platform independent) accompanies the book and contains source code, projects for each chapter, and the figures from the book.
Digital signal processing lies at the heart of the communications revolution and is an essential element of key technologies such as mobile phones and the Internet. This book covers all the major topics in digital signal processing (DSP) design and analysis, supported by MatLab examples and other modelling techniques. The authors explain clearly and concisely why and how to use digital signal processing systems; how to approximate a desired transfer function characteristic using polynomials and ratio of polynomials; why an appropriate mapping of a transfer function on to a suitable structure is important for practical applications; and how to analyse, represent and explore the trade-off between time and frequency representation of signals. An ideal textbook for students, it will also be a useful reference for engineers working on the development of signal processing systems.
This unique resource examines the conceptual, computational, and practical aspects of applied signal processing using wavelets. With this book, readers will understand and be able to use the power and utility of new wavelet methods in science and engineering problems and analysis. The text is written in a clear, accessible style avoiding unnecessary abstractions and details. From a computational perspective, wavelet signal processing algorithms are presented and applied to signal compression, noise suppression, and signal identification. Numerical illustrations of these computational techniques are further provided with interactive software (MATLAB code) that is available on the World Wide Web. Topics and Features Continuous wavelet and Gabor transforms Frame-based theory of discretization and reconstruction of analog signals is developed New and efficient "overcomplete" wavelet transform is introduced and applied Numerical illustrations with an object-oriented computational perspective using the Wavelet Signal Processing Workstation (MATLAB code) available This book is an excellent resource for information and computational tools needed to use wavelets in many types of signal processing problems. Graduates, professionals, and practitioners in engineering, computer science, geophysics, and applied mathematics will benefit from using the book and software tools. The present, softcover reprint is designed to make this classic textbook available to a wider audience. A self-contained text that is theoretically rigorous while maintaining contact with interesting applications. A particularly noteworthy topic...is a class of ‘overcomplete wavelets’. These functions are not orthonormal and they lead to many useful results. —Journal of Mathematical Psychology
Digital Signal Processing, Second Edition enables electrical engineers and technicians in the fields of biomedical, computer, and electronics engineering to master the essential fundamentals of DSP principles and practice. Many instructive worked examples are used to illustrate the material, and the use of mathematics is minimized for easier grasp of concepts. As such, this title is also useful to undergraduates in electrical engineering, and as a reference for science students and practicing engineers. The book goes beyond DSP theory, to show implementation of algorithms in hardware and software. Additional topics covered include adaptive filtering with noise reduction and echo cancellations, speech compression, signal sampling, digital filter realizations, filter design, multimedia applications, over-sampling, etc. More advanced topics are also covered, such as adaptive filters, speech compression such as PCM, u-law, ADPCM, and multi-rate DSP and over-sampling ADC. New to this edition: - MATLAB projects dealing with practical applications added throughout the book - New chapter (chapter 13) covering sub-band coding and wavelet transforms, methods that have become popular in the DSP field - New applications included in many chapters, including applications of DFT to seismic signals, electrocardiography data, and vibration signals - All real-time C programs revised for the TMS320C6713 DSK - Covers DSP principles with emphasis on communications and control applications - Chapter objectives, worked examples, and end-of-chapter exercises aid the reader in grasping key concepts and solving related problems - Website with MATLAB programs for simulation and C programs for real-time DSP
This book is intended to serve as an invaluable reference for anyone concerned with the application of wavelets to signal processing. It has evolved from material used to teach "wavelet signal processing" courses in electrical engineering departments at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tel Aviv University, as well as applied mathematics departments at the Courant Institute of New York University and ÉcolePolytechnique in Paris. - Provides a broad perspective on the principles and applications of transient signal processing with wavelets - Emphasizes intuitive understanding, while providing the mathematical foundations and description of fast algorithms - Numerous examples of real applications to noise removal, deconvolution, audio and image compression, singularity and edge detection, multifractal analysis, and time-varying frequency measurements - Algorithms and numerical examples are implemented in Wavelab, which is a Matlab toolbox freely available over the Internet - Content is accessible on several level of complexity, depending on the individual reader's needs New to the Second Edition - Optical flow calculation and video compression algorithms - Image models with bounded variation functions - Bayes and Minimax theories for signal estimation - 200 pages rewritten and most illustrations redrawn - More problems and topics for a graduate course in wavelet signal processing, in engineering and applied mathematics
Fractal geometry and recent developments in wavelet theory are having an important impact on the field of signal processing. Efficient representations for fractal signals based on wavelets are opening up new applications for signal processing, and providing better solutions to problems in existing applications. Signal Processing with Fractals provides a valuable introduction to this new and exciting area, and develops a powerful conceptual foundation for understanding the topic. Practical techniques for synthesizing, analyzing, and processing fractal signals for a wide range of applications are developed in detail, and novel applications in communications are explored.
