Alfonso Farina, one of the world's leading experts on RADAR, provides a personal reflection on the major leading technical advancements during his distinguished career in academia and industry. Ultimately the author is looking to find beauty at the intersection of mathematics and engineering. He coins the term algolet as a small algorithm that he has used in his career which can be used to produce an illustration suitable for printing on a T-shirt. In doing so, he uses the 700-plus publications he has authored as his source.

In the first of a 3-part series he looks at the...

The aim of this book is the study of signals and deterministic systems, linear, time-invariant, finite dimensions and causal. A set of useful tools is selected for the automatic and signal processing and methods of representation of dynamic linear systems are exposed, and analysis of their behavior. Finally we discuss the estimation, identification and synthesis of control laws for the purpose of stabilization and regulation.

The study of signal characteristics and properties systems and knowledge of mathematical tools and treatment methods and analysis, are lately more and more...

An important working resource for engineers and researchers involved in the design, development, and implementation of signal processing systems

The last decade has seen a rapid expansion of the use of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for a wide range of applications beyond traditional digital signal processing (DSP) systems. Written by a team of experts working at the leading edge of FPGA research and development, this second edition of FPGA-based Implementation of Signal Processing Systems has been extensively updated and revised to reflect the latest...

This book is composed of 6 chapters from the fundamental concept introduction of the real-time image processing to future perspectives in this area. We describe hardware architectures and different optimization strategies for real-time purpose. The latter consists in a survey of software and hardware co-design tools at different levels. Two real-time applications will be presented in detail in order to illustrate the proposed approaches.

Recently, the real-time image processing field has made a lot of progress. Technology evolution allows engineers to integrate more complex...

The considerable growth of RFID is currently accompanied by the development of numerous identification technologies that complement those already available while seeking to answer new problems. Chipless RFID is one example. The goal is to both significantly reduce the price of the tag and increase the amount of information it contains, in order to compete with the barcode while retaining the benefits of a flexible reading approach based on radio communication. To solve the problem of the number of bits, this book describes the possibility of coding the information at the level of the...

Sensors are becoming increasingly omnipresent throughout society. These sensors generate a billion gigabytes of data every day. With the availability of immense computing power at central locations, the local storage and transmission of the data to a central location becomes the bottleneck in the real-time processing of the mass of data. Recently compressed sensing has emerged as a technique to alleviate these problems, but much of the data is blindly discarded without being examined to achieve acceptable throughput rates.

Sparse Sensing for Statistical Inference introduces...

An essential guide to the background, design, and application of common-mode filtering structures in modern high-speed differential communication links

Written by a team of experts in the field, Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) Structures explores the practical electromagnetic bandgap based common mode filters for power integrity applications and covers the theoretical and practical design approaches for common mode filtering in high-speed printed circuit boards, especially for boards in high data-rate systems. The authors describe the classic...

Video Coding is the second part of the two-part monograph Fundamentals of Source and Video Coding by Wiegand and Schwarz. This part describes the application of the techniques described in the first part to video coding. In doing so it provides a description of the fundamentals concepts of video coding and, in particular, the signal processing in video encoders and decoders.

The monograph describes the basic structure of video codecs, discusses the fundamental concepts of video coding, and highlights their application in modern video coding standards. The...

This second edition of the fully revised and updated From Photon to Pixel presents essential elements in modern digital photographic devices. Our universal infatuation with photography profoundly affects its usage and development.
While some sides of photographic -culture- remain wholly unchanged - art photography, journalistic and advertising photography, scientific photography, etc. - new facets emerge: leisure or travel photography, everyday life photography, anecdotal, observational or unusual photography, and microcosm, or micro-community, photography with its culmination in the...

Color is a sensation generated both by the interaction of the visual sensors in the eyes with the natural environment and by the elaboration of visual information by higher brain functions.
This book presents the mathematical framework needed to deal with several models of color processing of digital images.
The book starts with a short yet exhaustive introduction to the basic phenomenological features of color vision, which are constantly used throughout the book.
The discussion of computational issues starts with color constancy, which is dealt with in a rigorous and...
