Recent Advances in Applied Signals, Systems and Image Processing

This is a unique book about recent advances in signal systems, imaging systems and multimedia. It brings together tutorials, extensive reviews of the state of the art, research proposals and international theoretical, methodological, systems engineering and applications experience on major aspects in the above disciplines. Although it offers a broad coverage of such subjects, it attempts to comprehensibly analyze the methods and systems presented. Regarding Signal Systems Recent Advances in Applied Signals, Systems and Image Processing focuses on adaptive filtering, while with respect to Imaging Systems the emphasis is put on both, low level image formation techniques and high level machine vision / multimedia content processing methodologies and systems. Finally, special care is given to analyze multimedia coding and several technologies related to multimedia content and communications. Although it has been originally based on integrating extended versions and carefully rewritten as well as updated keynote lectures of the IWSSIP 2005 workshop on Signal, Systems and Image Processing it finally attempts to offer a unified view of some of the most prominent methodologies in applied signal, image and multimedia systems analysis. Recent Advances in Applied Signals, Systems and Image Processing will be particularly useful for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the above engineering fields.ont
