Gaussian linear modelling cannot address current signal processing demands. In moderncontexts, suchasIndependentComponentAnalysis(ICA), progresshasbeen made speci?cally by imposing non-Gaussian and/or non-linear assumptions. Hence, standard Wiener and Kalman theories no longer enjoy their traditional hegemony in the ?eld, revealing the standard computational engines for these problems. In their place, diverse principles have been explored, leading to a consequent diversity in the implied computational algorithms. The traditional on-line and data-intensive pre- cupations of signal processing...

Contemporary man-machine interfaces are increasingly characterized by multimodality, nonintrusiveness, context-sensitivity, adaptivity, and teleoperability. The implementation of such properties relies on novel techniques in felds such as, e.g., computer vision, speech technology, trainable classifiers, robotics, and virtual reality.
This book puts special emphasis on technological aspects of advanced interface implementation. Furthermore it focuses on interface design and usability.
For readers with a background in engineering and computer science, most chapters offer design...

This book is intended to be an introduction to the mathematical description of information in science. The necessary mathematical theory of this introduction will be treated in a more vivid way than in the usual theorem-proof structure. This, however, enables us to develop an idea of the connections between different information measures and to understand the trains of thought in their derivation, which is a crucial point for correct applications. It is therefore our intention in the mathematical descriptions to evolve the important ideas of the derivations, so that we obtain the resulting...

We dedicate this book to students 0/ computer science who want to under stand why the radio channel is at the heart of mobile communications, be it data or voice, and to students 0/ communications engineering looking for an introduction to the structure of the Internet protocols, and their application to mobile radio. We also welcome the practicing engineer' working for mobile network operators and infrastructure suppliers, and the application program mer looking for the underlying reasons for the problems they encounter in their daily work. Given that convergence of the information...

This book provides ample coverage of theoretical and experimental state-of-the-art work as well as new trends and directions in the biometrics field. It offers students and software engineers a thorough understanding of how some core low-level building blocks of a multi-biometric system are implemented. While this book covers a range of biometric traits, its main emphasis is placed on multi-sensory and multi-modal face biometrics algorithms and systems.

A mathematically rigorous but accessible treatment of digital signal processing that intertwines basic theoretical techniques with hands-on laboratory instruction is provided by this book. The book covers various aspects of the digital signal processing (DSP) "problem." It begins with the analysis of discrete-time signals and explains sampling and the use of the discrete and fast Fourier transforms. The second part of the book - covering digital to analog and analog to digital conversion - provides a practical interlude in the mathematical content before Part III lays out a careful...

By adaptive signal processing, we mean, in general, adaptive ?ltering.In- known environments where we need to model, identify, or track time-varying channels, adaptive ?ltering has been proven to be an e?ective and powerful tool. As a result, this tool is now in use in many di?erent ?elds. Since the invention, by Widrow and Ho? in 1959, of one of the ?rst ad- tive ?lters, the so-called least-mean-square, many applications appeared to have the potential to use this fundamental concept. While the number of - plications (using adaptive algorithms) has been (and keeps) ?ourishing with time,...
