Multiresolution Signal Decomposition

Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth, integrated, and up-to-date exposition of the topic of signal decomposition techniques. Application areas of these techniques include speech and image processing, machine vision, information engineering, High-Definition Television, and telecommunications. The book will serve as the major reference for those entering the field, instructors teaching some or all of the topics in an advanced graduate course and researchers needing to consult an authoritative source.n The first book to give a unified and coherent exposition of multiresolutional signal decomposition techniquesn Classroom tested textbook clearly describes the commonalities among three key methods-transform coding, and wavelet transformsn Gives comparative performance evaluations of many proposed techniques
