Because of the wide use of adaptive filtering in digital signal processing and, because most of the modern electronic devices include some type of an adaptive filter, a text that brings forth the fundamentals of this field was necessary. The material and the principles presented in this book are easily accessible to engineers, scientists, and...

Nonlinear signal processing methods are finding numerous applications in such fields as imaging, teletraffic, communications, hydrology, geology, and economics–fields where nonlinear systems and non-Gaussian processes emerge. Within a broad class of nonlinear...

This is an interdisciplinary field of research involving the use of neural network techniques for image recognition applied to tasks in the area of micromechanics. The book is organized into chapters on classic neural networks and novel neural classifiers; recognition of textures and object forms; micromechanics; and adaptive algorithms with...

In the fourth edition of Adaptive Filtering: Algorithms and Practical Implementation, author Paulo S.R. Diniz presents the basic concepts of adaptive signal processing and adaptive filtering in a concise and straightforward manner. The main classes of adaptive filtering algorithms are presented in a unified framework, using...

Forty years have passed since the birth of fuzzy sets, in which time a wealth of theoretical developments, conceptual pursuits, algorithmic...

Mobile robots require the ability to make decisions such as "go through the hedges" or "go around the brick wall." Mobile Robot Navigation with Intelligent Infrared Image Interpretation describes in detail an alternative to GPS navigation: a physics-based adaptive Bayesian pattern classification model that uses a...
