Wavelets and Signal Processing: An Application-Based Introduction [Paperback]

Professor Noubari's recommendation: Professor Starks book provides an effective entry into the field for engineering students who have little or no prior knowledge of this important subject. Avaibility of collection of computer codes and mfiles in combination with topics of the book, makes the book highly valuable to enhance student learning of the subject matter.

Provides a textbook treatment that is concise and practical introduction to the underlying foundations and important applications.

Through numerous examples and case studies from industry, it demonstrates both the potential and the limits of wavelet techniques, expanding the usual treatment beyond the discrete wavelet transform to the continuous transform.

Providing the basics of Fourier transforms and digital filters in the appendix, the text is supplemented with end-of-chapter exercises, MatLab code, and a short introduction to the MATLAB wavelet toolbox.

The wavelets transform is a mathematical technique in the field of image compression and digital signal analysis.

The author aims at providing the reader with a working understanding of wavelets. In numerous examples, he discusses the potentials and limits of the tool in industrial applications.

The book is completed by the author`s own Matlab codes.

It is very well suited for electrical engineering students and engineers in industry.
