Real Time Signal Processing

63177-0 Making signal processing real--out of the lab and down to the street. Moving technology from ideal research conditions into real-life applications is always a challenge. The computing and timing issues involved in signal processing make it an especially difficult transition. Real-Time Signal Processing covers the entire process of implementing signal processing algorithms, from real-time concepts to multiprocessors and tradeoff analyses, and it provides a toolkit of hardware and software computing elements. This book walks through the entire system design process, from requirements development through life-cycle systems engineering, project management, integration, testing, and maintenance. To work within the limitations of functioning implementations, Real-Time Signal Processing describes techniques that can be used across a broad range of hardware and software systems. Special emphasis is given to: *Differences between hardware and software realization. *Tradeoffs of space against time for both software and hardware. *Off-the-shelf vs. custom implementations.The book provides a process for mapping algorithms and architectures and illuminates it with several examples, including: *Wavelet analysis.
*Linear predictive coding. *Compression of speech and images. *Recognition of speech and images. *Hidden Markov modeling. *Image formation for synthetic aperture radar. When it's time to put theory into practice, Real-Time Signal Processing provides the complete roadmap.
