Wavelets and Subband Coding

Download or read book Wavelets and Subband Coding written by Jelena Kovacevic and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 1995 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A central goal of signal processing is to describe real-time signals, be it for computation, compression, or understanding. This book presents a unified view of wavelets and subband coding with a signal processing perspective. Covers the discrete-time case, or filter banks; development of wavelets; continuous wavelet and local Fourier transforms; efficient algorithms for filter banks and wavelet computations; and signal compression. *provides broad coverage of theory and applications and a different perspective based on signal processing. *gives framework for applications in speech, audio, image and video compression as used in multimedia. *includes sufficient background material so that people without signal processing knowledge will find it useful.
