Digital signal processing (DSP) is concerned with the theoretical and practical aspects of representing information-bearing signals in a digital form and with using computers, special-purpose hardware and software, or similar platforms to extract information, process it, or transform it in useful ways. Areas where DSP has made a significant impact include telecommunications, wireless and mobile communications, multimedia applications, user interfaces, medical technology, digital entertainment, radar and sonar, seismic signal processing, and remote sensing, to name just a few.
Given the widespread use of DSP, a need developed for an authoritative reference, written by the top experts in the world, that would provide information on both theoretical and practical aspects in a manner that was suitable for a broad audience—ranging from professionals in electrical engineering, computer science, and related engineering and scientific professions to managers involved in technical marketing, and to graduate students and scholars in the field. Given the abundance of basic and introductory texts on DSP, it was important to focus on topics that were useful to engineers and scholars without overemphasizing those topics that were already widely accessible. In short, the DSP handbook was created to be relevant to the needs of the engineering community.
A task of this magnitude could only be possible through the cooperation of some of the foremost DSP researchers and practitioners. That collaboration, over 10 years ago, produced the first edition of the successful DSP handbook that contained a comprehensive range of DSP topics presented with a clarity of vision and a depth of coverage to inform, educate, and guide the reader. Indeed, many of the chapters, written by leaders in their field, have guided readers through a unique vision and perception garnered by the authors through years of experience.
The second edition of the DSP handbook consists of
Digital Signal Processing Fundamentals ;
Video, Speech, and Audio Signal Processing and Associated Standards; and
Wireless, Networking, Radar, Sensor Array Processing, and Nonlinear Signal Processing to ensure that each part is dealt with in adequate detail and that each part is then able to develop its own individual identity and role in terms of its educational mission and audience. I expect each part to be frequently updated with chapters that reflect the changes and new developments in the technology and in the field. The distribution model for the DSP handbook also reflects the increasing need by professionals to access content in electronic form anywhere and at anytime.
Video, Speech, and Audio Signal Processing and Associated Standards, as the name implies, provides a comprehensive coverage of the basic foundations of speech, audio, image, and video processing and associated applications to broadcast, storage, search and retrieval, and communications. This book needs to be continuously updated to include newer aspects of these technologies, and I look forward to suggestions on how this handbook can be improved to serve you better.
