This book, written by experts in the field, is based on the latest research on the analysis and synthesis of switched time-delay systems. It covers the stability, filtering, fault detection and control problems, which are studied using the average dwell time approach. It presents both the continuous-time and discrete-time systems and...
This volume discusses a construction situated at the intersection of two different mathematical fields: Abstract harmonic analysis, understood as the theory of group representations and their decomposition into irreducibles on the one hand, and wavelet (and related) transforms on the other. In a sense the volume reexamines one of the roots of...
Cryptography is now ubiquitous – moving beyond the traditional environments, such as government communications and banking systems, we see cryptographic techniques realized in Web browsers, e-mail programs, cell phones, manufacturing systems, embedded software, smart buildings, cars, and even medical implants. Today's designers need a...
What do you imagine when you picture your retirement? Jet-setting around the world? Hopping between two homes—a condo on the beach and a wintry getaway in the mountains? Or simply living the life of Riley, playing golf or tennis with your buddies as the sun sets?
Whatever your goal, we realize that it’s a lot easier to dream...
"For anyone wanting to learn about design of experiments, this book has it all. This book combines easy-to-read concepts and methods of design of experiments (DOE) with everyday examples and pictures. Anyone with even a cursory understanding of DOE can pick up this book and gain a very high-level understanding of DOE. The bottom line: This is...
A new edition that takes students to the cutting edge and back!
Extensively revised and updated, this new fourth edition of COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS is the most complete undergraduate textbook on the theories and principles behind today's most advanced communications systems.
Simulation has made possible systems that would otherwise be impracticable. The sophisticated controls in modern aircraft and automobiles, the powerful microprocessors in desktop computers, and space-faring robots are possible because simulations reduce substantially the need for expensive prototypes. These complicated systems are designed...
The concept of 'shape' is at the heart of image processing and computer vision, yet researchers still have some way to go to replicate the human brain's ability to extrapolate meaning from the most basic of outlines. This volume reflects the advances of the last decade, which have also opened up tough new challenges in...
Appropriate for beginning graduate level courses on linear systems, graduate courses introducing linear control, and for self-study.The basic theory of linear systems is developed in a unified, accessible, and careful manner, with parallel, independent treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time linear systems. Modest mathematical background is...
A thorough guide to the classical and contemporary mathematical methods of modern signal and image processing
Discrete Fourier Analysis and Wavelets presents a thorough introduction to the mathematical foundations of signal and image processing. Key concepts and applications are addressed in a thought-provoking...
This monograph presents a framework for modelling, specifying and verifying
systems composed of real-time discrete event processes. A discrete event system
consists of the plant (the object to be controlled) and a controller. For example,
the plant might consist of machines, robots and conveyors on the factory floor.
The objective of...
Real-Time Video Compression: Techniques and Algorithms introduces the XYZ video compression technique, which operates in three dimensions, eliminating the overhead of motion estimation. First, video compression standards, MPEG and H.261/H.263, are described. They both use asymmetric compression algorithms, based on motion estimation. Their...
