	Secure Sensor Cloud Vimal Kumar, Amartya Sen, Sanjay Madria The sensor cloud is a new model of computing paradigm for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which facilitates resource sharing and provides a platform to integrate different sensor networks where multiple users can build their own sensing applications… Publication Date: December, 2018 Read More
	Sensor Analysis for the Internet of Things Michael Stanley, Jongmin Lee While it may be attractive to view sensors as simple transducers which convert physical quantities into electrical signals, the truth of the matter is more complex. The engineer should have a proper understanding of the physics involved in the conver… Publication Date: January, 2018 Read More
	Virtual Design of an Audio Lifelogging System Brian Mears, Mohit Shah The availability of inexpensive, custom, highly integrated circuits is enabling some very powerful systems that bring together sensors, smart phones, wearables, cloud computing, and other technologies. This book advocates a top-down simulation metho… Publication Date: July, 2016 Read More
	Despeckle Filtering for Ultrasound Imaging and Video, Volume II, 2nd Edition Christos P. Loizou, Constantinos S. Pattichis In ultrasound imaging and video visual perception is hindered by speckle multiplicative noise that degrades the quality. Noise reduction is therefore essential for improving the visual observation quality or as a pre-processing step for further autom… Publication Date: August, 2015 Read More
	Despeckle Filtering for Ultrasound Imaging and Video, Volume I, Second Edition Christos P. Loizou, Constantinos S. Pattichis It is well known that speckle is a multiplicative noise that degrades image and video quality and the visual expert’s evaluation in ultrasound imaging and video. This necessitates the need for robust despeckling image and video techniques for both ro… Publication Date: April, 2015 Read More
	Latency and Distortion of Electromagnetic Trackers for Augmented Reality Systems Henry Himberg, Yuichi Motai Augmented reality (AR) systems are often used to superimpose virtual objects or information on a scene to improve situational awareness. Delays in the display system or inaccurate registration of objects destroy the sense of immersion a user experien… Publication Date: 05/01/2014 Read More
	Bandwidth Extension of Speech Using Perceptual Criteria Visar Berisha, Steven Sandoval, Julie Liss, Bandwidth extension of speech is used in the International Telecommunication Union G.729.1 standard in which the narrowband bitstream is combined with quantized high-band parameters. Although this system produces high-quality wideband speech, the add… Publication Date: 11/01/2013 Read More
	Theory and Applications of Gaussian Quadrature Methods Narayan Kovvali Gaussian quadrature is a powerful technique for numerical integration that falls under the broad category of spectral methods. The purpose of this work is to provide an introduction to the theory and practice of Gaussian quadrature. We study the appr… Publication Date: 01/01/2011 Read More
	Sparse Representations for Radar with MATLAB Examples Peter Knee Although the field of sparse representations is relatively new, research activities in academic and industrial research labs are already producing encouraging results. The sparse signal or parameter model motivated several researchers and practitione… Publication Date: 01/01/2012 Read More
	Control Grid Motion Estimation for Efficient Application of Optical Flow Christine M. Zwart, David Frakes Motion estimation is a long-standing cornerstone of image and video processing. Most notably, motion estimation serves as the foundation for many of today’s ubiquitous video coding standards including H.264. Motion estimators also play key roles in c… Publication Date: 01/01/2013 Read More
	Analysis of the MPEG-1 Layer III (MP3) Algorithm using MATLAB Jayaraman Thiagarajan, Andreas Spanias, The MPEG-1 Layer III (MP3) algorithm is one of the most successful audio formats for consumer audio storage and for transfer and playback of music on digital audio players. The MP3 compression standard along with the AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) algor… Publication Date: 01/01/2011 Read More
	OFDM Systems for Wireless Communications Adarsh Narasimhamurthy, Mahesh Banavar, Cihan Tepedelenliouglu Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems are widely used in the standards for digital audio/video broadcasting, WiFi and WiMax.
