Signal Compression

With clear and easy-to-understand explanations, this book covers the fundamental concepts and coding methods of signal compression, whilst still retaining technical depth and rigor. It contains a wealth of illustrations, step-by-step descriptions of algorithms, examples and practice problems, which make it an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a useful self-study tool for researchers and professionals. Principles of lossless compression are covered, as are various entropy coding techniques, including Huffman coding, arithmetic coding and Lempel-Ziv coding. Scalar and vector quantization and trellis coding are thoroughly explained, and a full chapter is devoted to mathematical transformations including the KLT, DCT and wavelet transforms. The workings of transform and subband/wavelet coding systems, including JPEG2000 and SBHP image compression and H.264/AVC video compression, are explained and a unique chapter is provided on set partition coding,

Herb Caen, a popular columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, recently quoted a Voice of America press release as saying that it was reorganizing in order to "eliminate duplication and redundancy. "

Two leaders in the field offer a compelling analysis of the current state of the art and reveal the steps we must take to achieve a robust artificial intelligence that can make our lives better.“Finally, a book that tells us what AI is, what AI is not, and what AI could become if only we are ambitious and creative enough.” —Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and author ofDeep ThinkingDespite the hype surrounding AI, creating an intelligence that rivals or exceeds human levels is far more complicated than we have been led to believe. Professors Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis have spent their careers at the forefront of AI research and have witnessed some of the greatest milestones in the field, but they argue that a computer beating a human in Jeopardy! does not signal that we are on the doorstep of fully autonomous cars or superintelligent machines. The achievements in the field thus far have occurred in closed systems with fixed sets of rules, and these approaches are too narro

This comprehensive and engaging textbook introduces the basic principles and techniques of signal processing, from the fundamental ideas of signals and systems theory to real-world applications. Students are introduced to the powerful foundations of modern signal processing, including the basic geometry of Hilbert space, the mathematics of Fourier transforms, and essentials of sampling, interpolation, approximation and compression The authors discuss real-world issues and hurdles to using these tools, and ways of adapting them to overcome problems of finiteness and localization, the limitations of uncertainty, and computational costs. It includes over 160 homework problems and over 220 worked examples, specifically designed to test and expand students' understanding of the fundamentals of signal processing, and is accompanied by extensive online materials designed to aid learning, including Mathematica® resources and interactive demonstrations.

The principles of signal processing are fundamental to the operation of many everyday devices. This book introduces the basic theory of digital signal processing, with emphasis on real-world applications. Sampling, quantization, the Fourier transform, filters, Bayesian methods and numerical considerations are covered, then developed to illustrate how they are used in audio, image, and video processing and compression, and in communications. The book concludes with methods for the efficient implementation of algorithms in hardware and software. Intuitive arguments rather than mathematical ones are used wherever possible, and links between various signal processing techniques are stressed. The advantages and disadvantages of different approaches are presented in the context of real-world examples, enabling the reader to choose the best solution to a given problem. With over 200 illustrations and over 130 exercises (including solutions), this book will appeal to practitioners working in s

This comprehensive text is a revised and greatly expanded second edition of a book first published in 1987, and provides a thorough introduction to the complex fields of signal coding and signal processing. Among the key topics covered are: the fundamentals of pulse code modulation; modern data compression techniques; block and convolutional error control codes; transmission coding techniques; digital filters; infinite and finite impulse response filters; adaptive filters; and fast Fourier transform theory, implementation and applications. Complete with problems and solutions, and containing over 230 diagrams, this textbook will be invaluable to third and fourth year undergraduates in electronic, electrical or communication engineering. It will also act as a useful reference for anyone working in this technologically important field.

「很久以前，世界是以七十八轉的速度運行的。」收藏留聲機唱片的先驅，從一張張唱片挖掘出隱藏其中的「工業」痕跡。 十九世紀末，一種奇巧的西方機器引進臺灣，在當時稱為「蓄音器」，也就是「留聲機」。新機器的輸入，開啟了臺灣的唱片工業，也改變了大眾的視聽經驗與娛樂方式。自此，各大唱片公司紛紛設立，發行南北管、歌仔戲、客家八音等戲曲唱片，1931年以後更推出臺語流行歌唱片。為了拓展市場，各大唱片公司發展出商業體系，透過日本製作、臺灣發行的方式，在各城市鄉鎮設立「小賣店」，甚至藉由外貿方式，將唱片發售到中國閩南及南洋各國的華人社會，進而開創臺灣唱片工業第一波的高鋒。 在數位科技興起之前，唱片是儲存聲音的工具。其原理是將類比訊號（Analog Signal）轉換為軌道刻紋，再製作成圓盤模具，然後利用蟲膠（Shellac）或塑膠（Plastic）做為原料，壓制成為唱片。以蟲膠為原料的唱片每分鐘轉速標準為七十八圈，因此被稱為「七十八轉唱片」，英文名稱為Standard Playing（簡稱SP）。這種方式不但能保存聲音，而且能大量生產、製作，所保存的聲音也得以「複製」，音樂或是歌曲便藉由這種方式傳遞，從此改變了人類社會的閱聽習慣，並增加娛樂方式，創造出新的商業市場。 由於唱片的製作和發行必須透過商業體制來運作，經營者可從中獲取利潤，唱片工業因而應運而生。1890年代，歐美各國的留聲機及唱片製作技術日益成熟，唱片公司紛紛設立，聘請專業錄音師帶著沉重的錄音器材，到各地錄製音樂，甚至飄洋過海來到東方的中國、日本、香港、印度等地，錄製當地的傳統音樂和民謠。1900年之後，日本等國也開始設立唱片公司，以擺脫歐美唱片公司的操控，不但能自行研發、生產留聲機及唱片，也能推陳出新，製作各種各樣的音樂，包括傳統戲曲、民謠，甚至配合當時的唱片工業而產生「新型態」的歌曲。 可見在唱片工業發展初期，聲音的儲存有所限制，錄音的品質尚待改善，而且唱片的設計、材質也有缺陷。到了1900年代，發展出儲存聲音且能大量複製的技術，讓人趨之若鶩，在西洋和東方社會，唱片市場逐漸興起，規模日益擴大。 以日本來說，在明治維新後積極吸收歐美文化，促成「文明開化」，唱片工業也隨之進入日本。唱片公司透過股票來籌募資金，大量錄製各種傳統音樂，後來日本的唱片公司看上殖民地臺灣，將這股浪潮引進，臺灣音樂也遠渡日本錄製，拓展了臺灣唱片
