This library spans a comprehensive curriculum in digital image / signal processing. These texts are not recent, but their theory is sound and long-lived. Many products that formerly required custom-designed high speed hardware now can be implemented in software on commercial off-the-shelf microprocessors: multicore CPU chips offer affordable SIMD / MIMD parallelism opportunities; and some commercially-available graphics cards qualify as massively parallel processors. I remain skeptical about the practical value of so-called machine intelligence (different from alphanumeric brute force data mining).
Introduction to linear control systems and the concept of a sufficient set of state variables.
c1970 softcover book containing 129 pages of FORTRAN-coded programs solving linear control theory common problems.
Introduction to signal representation, processing and analysis.
A comprehensive discussion of filter mathematics and analog filter design.
Introduction to signal transmission and detection in noisy environments.
A collection of formulae and mathematics utilized throughout engineering disciplines.
Communications system design guidelines and considerations.
Communications system design guidelines and considerations.
Introduction to stochastic process theory.
Part I is the classic text for linear signal detectors, estimators and discriminators. Part II is the classic text for nonlinear signal detectors, estimators and discriminators.
[Prepublication manuscript] This text discusses the mathematics of Poisson finite-memory random point processes.
Introduction to finite state machines (e.g., digital discriminator logic design).
Readable treatment of Operations Research fundamental concepts.
Introduction to optimal estimation.
Comprehensive and readable treatment of optimal estimation.
Rigorous treatment of stochastic process theory.
Queueing systems are appropriate models for operating systems, MIMD digital signal processors and for sizing digital memory buffers. Somewhat replaced by simulation in our era of inexpensive computation.
Classic text discussing one- and two-dimensional digital signal representation and processing.
c1972 selected papers in digital filtering, the FFT and the effects of finite-word-length computation. (64-bit register length microprocessors somewhat solve the third problem.)
c1976 selected papers in one- and two-dimensional digital signal processing, and fast algorithm realizations.
c1979 FORTRAN source code listings for well-known digital signal processing algorithms.
A readable introduction to digital image processing.
Mathematically-rigorous treatment of digital image processing.
c1977 description of image analysis algorithms. Illustrates questionable value of some results.
c1977 description of pattern recognition algorithms. Illustrates questionable value of some results.
c1978 selected papers discussing remotely-sensed image processing and analysis.
c1985 selected papers discussing digital image transforms, models, compression, enhancement and restoration. Included annotated photographs (blob detection) illustrate questionable value of some results.
A readable introduction to artificial intelligence.
Use of binocular imagery and artificial intelligence in robotics.
c1979 synergistic processing of signals from multiple sources.
