Studies in Signal Processing with Applications

在过去的30年中，数字信号处理（DSP）技术在诸如生物医学信号处理、声学、电信、图像和视频信号处理以及地震学等不同领域中的信号处理中得到了各种应用。高分辨率、低成本、高速A/D转换器和功能强大的数字信号处理器的出现，为DSP在这些领域的应用提供了必要的动力。多维DSP技术越来越多地用于处理多维信号，例如从卫星、X射线和其它源获得的图像和运动图像。可视电话和HDTV是从2-D和3-D DSP领域的研究和开发进展中获得的产品的一些例子。拟议研究的总体目标是开发各种有效和可靠的算法，用于信号（如图像，视频，语音和生物医学信号）的滤波和处理。特别是，我们将在今后5年集中精力开展以下项目。 (a)我们打算探索使用离散Tchiebichef变换（DTT）代替DCT进行图像压缩，因为DTT的能量压缩和去相关特性与DCT非常相似，同时DTT可以快速实现无乘法器。特别注意将支付给DTT以及许多离散变换和算法，我们在过去几年中提出的实施问题。 (b)实现认知无线电的一个关键挑战是所需的动态自适应，这可以通过在接收机架构中集成可重构数字滤波器和滤波器组来实现。该子项目将解决面积有效的可重构滤波器的设计，这将使可重构滤波器组的设计与独立控制其子带的带宽和中心频率。 (c)我们建议开发一个智能监控系统，能够检测，分类和识别人类的行动，并要求人类的注意，只有在必要时。这种系统可用于家庭和建筑物监控、停车场监控等，它可以通过确定偏远地区的病人或老年人的状况来加强卫生服务。 (d)我们打算解决多个运动目标的到达方向跟踪问题。这在各种商业和军事应用中具有很大的意义。 (e)开发生物医学应用的算法。特别是，我们打算开发方法来解决长期脑电图记录的处理 这些项目的成果将有益于电信、医疗信号处理、超大规模集成电路、图像和视频信号处理以及无线行业。

Digital signal processing (DSP) techniques have found a variety of applications over the last 30 years in processing of signals in such diverse areas as biomedical signal processing, acoustics, telecommunications, image and video signal processing, and seismology. The availability of high-resolution, inexpensive, high-speed A/D converters and powerful digital signal processors in VLSI form has provided the necessary impetus for the ever-expanding applications of DSP in these areas. Multi-dimensional DSP techniques are being increasingly used in the processing of multi-dimensional signals such as pictures and moving pictures obtained from satellites, x-rays, and other sources. Videophone and HDTV are some examples of products that have gained from the research and development advances in the 2-D and 3-D DSP area. The overall objectives of the proposed research are to develop a variety of efficient and reliable algorithms for filtering and processing of signals (such as image, video, speech, and biomedical signals). In particular, we will concentrate over the next 5 years on the following projects. (a) We intend to explore the use of discrete Tchiebichef transforms (DTT) in place of DCT for image compression, since the energy compaction and decorrelation properties of DTT are very similar to that of DCT and at the same time fast multiplier-less implementations are possible for DTT. Special attention would be paid to the implementation issues for DTT as well as for many of the discrete transforms and algorithms that we have proposed in the last few years. (b) A key challenge in realizing a cognitive radio is the dynamic adaptation needed, which can be made possible by the integration of reconfigurable digital filters and filter banks in the receiver architecture. This subproject will address the design of area efficient reconfigurable filters, which will enable the design of reconfigurable filter banks with independent control over the bandwidths & center frequencies of its subbands. (c) We propose to develop an intelligent surveillance system with the ability to detect, categorize and recognize human action, and ask for human attention only when necessary. Such a system could be used for home and building surveillance, parking lot monitoring, etc. It can enhance the health services by determining the condition of a patient or elderly people in a remote area. (d) We intend to address the problem of tracking direction of arrival of multiple moving targets. This is of great interest in a variety of commercial & military applications. (e) Development of algorithms for biomedical applications. In particular, we intend to develop methods to address the processing of long-term EEG recordings The results from these projects should be beneficial to the telecommunication, medical signal processing, VLSI, image and video signal processing, and wireless sectors of the industry.
