Digital Signals

This book is an excellent reference from a theoretical and practical standpoint for any student of engineering pursuing the study of digital signal-image processing, digital audio-video processing and pattern recognition. It provides, in detail, the theory and applications behind the most important subjects in the above areas like digital & adaptive filters, frequency transforms, modulation methods, compression & packetization techniques, conditional access & security methods and cryptographic techniques. Working knowledge of industry standard applications that involve these subjects like voice recognition & identification, machine vision, finger-print recognition, SETTOP boxes, DVD players/recorders and cable modems is thoroughly covered. The divergence between desktop and embedded applications is also covered, with emphasis on both hardware and software.
