Digital Signal Processing Using Lapped Transforms with Variable Parameter Windows and Orthonormal Bases

Book Description
This thesis develops and evaluates a number of new concepts and tools for the analysis of signals using variable overlapped windows and orthonormal bases. Windowing, often employed as a spectral estimation technique, can result in irreparable distortions in the transformed signal. By placing conditions on the window and incorporating it into the orthonormal representation, any signal distortion resulting from the transformation can be eliminated or cancelled in reconstruction. This concept is critical to the theory underpinning this thesis. As part of this evaluation, a tensor product based general N-point fast Fourier transform algorithm was implemented in the DOD standard language, Ada. The most prevalent criticism of Ada is slow execution time. This code is shown to be comparable in execution time performance to the corresponding FORTRAN code. Also, as part of this thesis, a new paradigm is presented for solving the finite length data problem associated with filter banks and lapped transforms. This result could have significant importance in many Air Force applications, such as processing images in which the objects of interest are near the borders. Additionally, a limited number of experiments were performed with the coding of speech. The results indicate the lapped transform evaluated in this thesis has potential as a low bit rate speech coder.

Signal Processing with Lapped Transforms
Author: Henrique S. Malvar
Publisher: Artech House Telecommunication
ISBN:
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
This reference provides an in-depth discussion of the theory and application of lapped transforms (LTs). It explains how LTs can lead to a better complexity/performance trade-off than other transforms or filter bands used in signal processing. The text addresses the increased use LTs, especially with HDTV and how they may become the standard for high-quality audio coding.

Orthogonal Transforms for Digital Signal Processing
Author: N. Ahmed
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364245450X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
This book is intended for those wishing to acquire a working knowledge of orthogonal transforms in the area of digital signal processing. The authors hope that their introduction will enhance the opportunities for interdiscipli nary work in this field. The book consists of ten chapters. The first seven chapters are devoted to the study of the background, motivation and development of orthogonal transforms, the prerequisites for which are a basic knowledge of Fourier series transform (e.g., via a course in differential equations) and matrix al gebra. The last three chapters are relatively specialized in that they are di rected toward certain applications of orthogonal transforms in digital signal processing. As such, a knowlegde of discrete probability theory is an essential additional prerequisite. A basic knowledge of communication theory would be helpful, although not essential. Much of the material presented here has evolved from graduate level courses offered by the Departments of Electrical Engineering at Kansas State University and the University of Texas at Arlington, during the past five years. With advanced graduate students, all the material was covered in one semester. In the case of first year graduate students, the material in the first seven chapters was covered in one semester. This was followed by a prob lems project-oriented course directed toward specific applications, using the material in the last three chapters as a basis.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences
Author: Wade H. Shafer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461524539
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the though that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemi nation. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 37 (thesis year 1992) a total of 12,549 thesis titles from 25 Canadian and 153 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 37 reports theses submitted in 1992, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
