Ebook: Subband and Wavelet Transforms: Design and Applications

The scientists and engineers of today are relentless in their continuing study and analysis of the world about us from the microcosm to the macrocosm. A central purpose of this study is to gain sufficient scientific information and insight to enable the development of both representative and useful models of the superabundance of physical processes that surround us. The engineers need these models and the associated insight in order to build the information processing systems and control systems that comprise these new and emerging technologies. Much of the early modeling work that has been done on these systems has been based on the linear time-invariant system theory and its extensive use of Fourier transform theory for both continuous and discrete systems and signals. However many of the signals arising in nature and real systems are neither stationary nor linear but tend to be concentrated in both time and frequency. Hence a new methodology is needed to take these factors properly into account.

The contributors to Subband and Wavelet Transforms: Design andApplications are distinguished scholars, drawn from prominent research laboratories and universities around the world.
The first six chapters of the book are devoted to theory and design, each having a unique focus and perspective. The remaining seven chapters use the foundation built in the first part to address specific applications. Some of these application areas are quite mature, while others are just emerging. An extensive bibliography is provided at the end of the book, which is used as a reference list for all chapters. This will help the interested readers to expand their study of this material.
Subband and Wavelet Transforms: Design and Applications is an in-depth reference volume, treating the fundamentals and discussing emerging applications in which filter banks and wavelets are believed to be important.
Audience: Intended for a broad readership, the book will be of particular interest to practicing engineers and scientists who wish to learn about utilization of these new developments, instructors teaching senior and graduate level engineering and applied mathematics courses in the field, and management personnel wishing to keep up with this rapidly developing technology.
