Following an introductory chapter, the text explores:

Sampled signals and digital processing

Random signals

Representing signals and systems

Temporal and spatial signal processing

Frequency analysis of signals

Discrete-time filters and recursive filters

Each chapter begins with chapter objectives and an introduction. A summary at the end of each chapter ensures that one has mastered all the key concepts and techniques before progressing in the text. Lastly, appendices listing selected web resources, research papers, and related textbooks enable the investigation of individual topics in greater depth.

Upon completion of this text, readers will understand how to apply key algorithmic techniques to address practical signal processing problems as well as develop their own signal processing algorithms. Moreover, the text provides a solid foundation for evaluating and applying new digital processing signal techniques as they are developed.
