"Designed for upper-division engineering and computer science students as well as practicing engineers and scientists, this book emphasizes the practical applications of signal processing. Over 100 MATLAB examples and wavelet techniques provide the latest applications of DSP, including image processing, games, filters, transforms, networking, parallel processing, and sound." "This Second Edition also provides the mathematical processes and techniques needed to ensure an understanding of DSP theory. Designed to be incremental in difficulty, the book will benefit readers who are unfamiliar with complex mathematical topics and those limited in programming experience. Beginning with and introduction to MATLAB programming, it moves through filters, sinusoids, sampling, the Fourier transform, the z-Transform, and other key topics. Two chapters are dedicated to the discussion of wavelets and their applications. A CD-ROM (platform independent) accompanies the book and contains source code, projects for each chapter, and the figures from the book."--Jacket.
