Transforms for Engineers

A problem has arisen for the engineer and others interested in the practical application of domain transformations. This is how to go about understanding the wide range of signal processing techniques and then how to apply this knowledge to a particular problem and choose the best technique. This volume provides a guide to signal-processing techniques and a wide variety of applications. It is designed to introduce the reader to the range and use of the many alternative fast orthogonal transform algorithms now becoming available. Detailed mathematical derivations are avoided, but analysis requirements are clarified and comparisons between different techniques relevant to the user's problem are given. Emphasis is placed on understanding the principles involved in a number of different applications. The work is extensively referenced with key and supporting papers for the subject areas considered.
