The Scientist & Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing

This book was written for scientists and engineers in a wide variety of fields: physics, bioengineering, geology, oceanography, mechani cal and electrical engineering, to name just a few. The goal is to present practical techniques while avoiding the barriers of detailed mathematics and abstract theory. To achieve this goal, three strategies were employed in writing this book:

First, the techniques are explained, not simply proven to be true through mathematical derivations.

Second, complex numbers are treated as an advanced topic, something to be learned after the fimdamental principles are understood.

Third, very simple computerprograms are used.

This book was also written with the practicing professional in mind. Many everyday DSP applications are discussed: digital filters, neural networks, data compression, audio and image processing, etc. As much as possible, these chapters stand on their own, not requiring the reader to review the entire book to solve a specific problem.

Steve Smith specializes in developing novel imaging systems for medicine, security, and industrial applications. Two of his major projects have been the SECURE 1000 and SentryScope. The SECURE 1000 is a security system for detecting weapons, explosives, and drugs hidden under the clothing of criminals and terrorists. More than 150 of these $100,000 systems are in use in the U.S...
