Applications in Signal Processing

Abstract

Signal processing has become an essential part of contemporary scientific and technological activity. Signal processing is used in telecommunications (telephone and television), in the transmission and analysis of satellite images, and in medical imaging (echography, tomography, and nuclear magnetic resonance), all of which involve the analysis and interpretation of complex time series. A record of stock price fluctuations is a signal, as is a record of temperature readings that permit the analysis of climatic variations and the study of global warming.
