Signal Processing for Wireless Communication Systems
Signal Processing for Wireless Communication Systems brings together in one place important contributions and up-to-date research results in this fast moving area. The Contributors to this work were selected from leading researchers and practitioners in this field. The book's 18 chapters are divided into three areas: systems, Networks, and Implementation Issues; Channel Estimation and Equalization; and Multiuser Detection. The Work, originally published as Volume 30, Numbers 1-3 of the Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems for Signal, Image, and Video Technology, will be valuable to anyone working or researching in the field of wireless communication systems. It serves as an excellent reference, providing insight into some of the most challenging issues being examined today.
Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems
The book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems, DCOSS 2009, held in Marina del Rey, CA, USA, in June 2009. The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 116 submissions. The research contributions in this proceedings span many aspects of sensor systems, including energy efficient mechanisms, tracking and surveillance, activity recognition, simulation, query optimization, network coding, localization, application development, data and code dissemination.

Introduction to Multimedia Systems
Source Coding
Source Coding is the first part of the two-part monograph Fundamentals of Source and Video Coding by Wiegand and Schwarz. It is devoted to the fundamental subject of source coding. Source Coding is a standalone text and also forms the basis for the second part, which describes the application of sources coding techniques to video coding. Based on a simple and accessible presentation of the fundamentals of information and rate distortion theory, the authors describe the subjects of entropy coding and quantization as well as predictive and transform coding. All relevant source coding results that are required for the understanding of today's video compression algorithms are established. The em...
Wireless Computing in Medicine
Provides a comprehensive overview of wireless computing in medicine, with technological, medical, and legal advances This book brings together the latest work of leading scientists in the disciplines of Computing, Medicine, and Law, in the field of Wireless Health. The book is organized into three main sections. The first section discusses the use of distributed computing in medicine. It concentrates on methods for treating chronic diseases and cognitive disabilities like Alzheimer’s, Autism, etc. It also discusses how to improve portability and accuracy of monitoring instruments and reduce the redundancy of data. It emphasizes the privacy and security of using such devices. The role of mo...
An Introduction to Frames
An Introduction to Frames is an introduction to redundant signal representations called frames. These representations have recently emerged as yet another powerful tool in the signal processing toolbox, spurred by a host of recent applications requiring some level of redundancy. It asks the question: Why and where should one use frames? And answers emphatically: Anywhere where redundancy is a must. It then goes on to discuss a host of applications that richly illustrate that answer. An Introduction to Frames is geared primarily toward engineering students and those without extensive mathematical training. It is also intended to help researchers and practitioners decide whether frames are the right tool for their application.
Sampling, Approximation, and Signal Analysis
During his long and distinguished career, J. Rowland Higgins (1935-2020) made a substantial impact on many mathematical fields through his work on sampling theory, his deep knowledge of its history, and his service to the community. This volume is a tribute to his work and legacy, featuring chapters written by distinguished mathematicians that explore cutting-edge research in sampling, approximation, signal analysis, and other related areas. An introductory chapter provides a biography of Higgins that explores his rich and unique life, along with a bibliography of his papers; a brief history of the SampTA meetings – of which he was a Founding Member – is also included. The remaining articles are grouped into four sections – classical sampling, theoretical extensions, frame theory, and applications of sampling theory – and explore Higgins’ contributions to these areas, as well as some of the latest developments.
Statistical Methods and Models for Video-based Tracking, Modeling, and Recognition
Computer vision systems attempt to understand a scene and its components from mostly visual information. The geometry exhibited by the real world, the influence of material properties on scattering of incident light, and the process of imaging introduce constraints and properties that are key to solving some of these tasks. In the presence of noisy observations and other uncertainties, the algorithms make use of statistical methods for robust inference. In this paper, we highlight the role of geometric constraints in statistical estimation methods, and how the interplay of geometry and statistics leads to the choice and design of algorithms. In particular, we illustrate the role of imaging, illumination, and motion constraints in classical vision problems such as tracking, structure from motion, metrology, activity analysis and recognition, and appropriate statistical methods used in each of these problems.
Frontiers of Engineering
This volume includes 14 papers from the National Academy of Engineering's Ninth Annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Symposium held in September 2003. The U.S. Frontiers meeting brings together 100 outstanding engineers (ages 30-45) to learn from their peers and discuss leading-edge technologies in a range of fields. The 2003 symposium covered these four areas: environmental engineering; fundamental limits of nanotechnology; counterterrorism technologies and infrastructure protection; and biomolecular computing. Papers in the book cover topics such as microbial mineral respiration; water-resource engineering, economics, and public policy; frontiers of silicon CMOS technology; molecular elect...
