Discrete Fourier Analysis and Wavelets:
Applications to Signal and Image Processing, 2nd Edition

ISBN: 978-1-119-25824-7
Mar 2018
464 pages

Description

Delivers an appropriate mix of theory and applications to help readers understand the process and problems of image and signal analysis

Maintaining a comprehensive and accessible treatment of the concepts, methods, and applications of signal and image data transformation, this Second Edition of Discrete Fourier Analysis and Wavelets: Applications to Signal and Image Processing features updated and revised coverage throughout with an emphasis on key and recent developments in the field of signal and image processing. Topical coverage includes: vector spaces, signals, and images; the discrete Fourier transform; the discrete cosine transform; convolution and filtering; windowing and localization; spectrograms; frames; filter banks; lifting schemes; and wavelets.

Discrete Fourier Analysis and Wavelets introduces a new chapter on frames?a new technology in which signals, images, and other data are redundantly measured. This redundancy allows for more sophisticated signal analysis. The new coverage also expands upon the discussion on spectrograms using a frames approach. In addition, the book includes a new chapter on lifting schemes for wavelets and provides a variation on the original low-pass/high-pass filter bank approach to the design and implementation of wavelets. These new chapters also include appropriate exercises and MATLABR projects for further experimentation and practice.

Book Description:

In this book, the authors report the results obtained by the application of wavelet analysis to two physics experiments: the motion of variable mass pendulum and the motion of variable length pendulum. These two motions, which furnish non stationary signals for their motions, are analyzed by means of a comparative Fourier Transform and Wavelet Transform. Afterwards, interval arithmetic extensions for the standard algorithms for the decimated and undecimated unidimensional Haar wavelet transform, as well as the standard and non-standard formulations for the two-dimensional HWT, are presented. In one paper, wavelet analysis and other statistical tools are employed in order to analyse different aspects of Sicily temperature data. Sicily represents one of the hot spots for studying climate change in the Mediterranean area because of its vulnerability to desertification processes. The authors aim to highlight how wavelet transform can be employed to extract information from experimental results obtained by spectroscopic techniques, such as InfraRed, light and neutron scattering spectroscopies. In particular, this book shows how it is possible to characterize the registered spectral profiles by means of Wavelet Cross Correlation to evaluate spectra and the degree of similarity between images. Later, an iterative a trous coarsening algorithm combined with a wavelet extrapolation procedure is presented and analyzed to filter and identify the mean trend of simulated 1D data with non trivial boundary conditions. Results show that the wavelet extrapolation based algorithm considered for the data-driven analysis is robust and reliable, allowing for an increased confidence region of the wavelet transform. In the concluding chapter, the authors aim to show that the wavelet transform has several advantages and benefits over classical methods of spectral analysis and other approches. (Nova)

Description

This book presents a new and innovative approach to Lie groups and differential geometry. Rather than compiling and reviewing the existing material on this classical subject, Professor Ortacgil instead questions the foundations of the subject, and proposes a new direction.

Aimed at the curious and courageous mathematician, this book aims to provoke further debate and inspire further development of this original research.

1st ed. 2018, XLII, 640 p. 37 illus.
Hardcover
ISBN 978-3-319-65303-7
Springer Series in Statistics

Provides essential data analysis tools for answering complex big data
questions based on real world data

Contains machine learning estimators that provide inference within data
science

Offers applications that demonstrate 1) the translation of the real world
application into a statistical estimation problem and 2) the targeted
statistical learning methodology to answer scientific questions of interest
based on real data

This textbook for graduate students in statistics, data science, and public health deals with the
practical challenges that come with big, complex, and dynamic data. It presents a scientific
roadmap to translate real-world data science applications into formal statistical estimation
problems by using the general template of targeted maximum likelihood estimators. These
targeted machine learning algorithms estimate quantities of interest while still providing valid
inference. Targeted learning methods within data science area critical component for solving
scientific problems in the modern age. The techniques can answer complex questions including
optimal rules for assigning treatment based on longitudinal data with time-dependent
confounding, as well as other estimands in dependent data structures, such as networks.
Included in Targeted Learning in Data Science are demonstrations with soft ware packages
and real data sets that present a case that targeted learning is crucial for the next generation
of statisticians and data scientists. Th is book is a sequel to the first textbook on machine
learning for causal inference, Targeted Learning, published in 2011. Mark van der Laan, PhD, is
Jiann-Ping Hsu/Karl E. Peace Professor of Biostatistics and Statistics at UC Berkeley. His
research interests include statistical methods in genomics, survival analysis, censored data,
machine learning, semiparametric models, causal inference, and targeted learning. Dr. van der
Laan received the 2004 Mortimer Spiegelman Award, the 2005 Van Dantzig Award, the 2005
COPSS Snedecor Award, the 2005 COPSS Presidential Award, and has graduated over 40 PhD
students in biostatistics and statistics.
