More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The principles of signal processing are fundamental to the operation of many everyday devices. This book introduces the basic theory of digital signal processing, with emphasis on real-world applications. Sampling, quantisation, the Fourier transform, filters, Bayesian methods and numerical considerations are covered, then developed to illustrate how they are used in audio, image, and video processing and compression, and in communications. The book concludes with methods for the efficient implementation of algorithms in hardware and software. Intuitive arguments rather than mathematical ones are used wherever possible, and links between various signal processing techniques are stressed. The advantages and disadvantages of different approaches are presented in the context of real-world examples, enabling the reader to choose the best solution to a given problem. With over 200 illustrations and over 130 exercises (including solutions), this book will appeal to practitioners working in signal processing, and undergraduate students of electrical and computer engineering.

Great book for beginners
29 July 2011
Format:Hardcover
I found this book over at Powell books in Portland Oregon (Technical store). I've looked at a lot of DSP books trying to gain a basic undestanding of the subject (I'm interested in audio DSP). This is the first book that really clicked with me and got me off the ground. His explanations make sense and aren't clouded with a ton of non-essential theory. He explains the how and why of what you need to know in a straight forward manner helping me break ground where other books lose me on the same subjects. The down side of that is it's not as complete of a book as some of the others. For me it was completely worth it, I can look at other books for more in depth concepts and ideas. He goes over processing images as well as audio so don't get the idea that's it's an audio centric book. The one thing I found difficult was going along nice and easy and all of a sudden "WHAM!" he drops Euler's formula on me. I had to visit a number of other math books before I got that down.
So thumbs up if you are starting out, or even not. I have an experienced mentor at work who has taken interest in a few parts as well. Buy it and review it!
