A wavelet tour of signal processing

First published in 1995, Wavelets and Subband Coding offered a unified view of the exciting field of wavelets and their discrete-time cousins, filter banks, or subband coding. The book developed the theory in both continuous and discrete time, and presented important applications. During the past decade, it filled a useful need in explaining a new view of signal processing based on flexible time-frequency analysis and its applications. Since 2007, the authors now retain the copyright and allow open access to the book.

Wavelets and Subband Coding

The paper discusses the theory behind the dual-tree transform, shows how complex wavelets with good properties can be designed, and illustrates a range of applications in signal and image processing The authors use the complex number symbol C in CWT to avoid confusion with the often-used acronym CWT for the (different) continuous wavelet transform The four fundamentals, intertwined shortcomings of wavelet transform and some solutions are also discussed Several methods for filter design are described for dual-tree CWT that demonstrates with relatively short filters, an effective invertible approximately analytic wavelet transform can indeed be implemented using the dual-tree approach

Biological applications of optical forces

In this article, the authors consider optimal decision making in two-alternative forced-choice (TAFC) tasks. They begin by analyzing 6 models of TAFC decision making and show that all but one can be reduced to the drift diffusion model, implementing the statistically optimal algorithm (most accurate for a given speed or fastest for a given accuracy). They prove further that there is always an optimal trade-off between speed and accuracy that maximizes various reward functions, including reward rate (percentage of correct responses per unit time), as well as several other objective functions, including ones weighted for accuracy. They use these findings to address empirical data and make novel predictions about performance under optimality.

dix A. Even if you don’t choose to memorize them this system aids in reference and retreival of important formulas. The book was compiled from notes developed during eight years of teaching a graduate course on the subject and was used as a text. Thus it has been student tested. Appendix F contains a number of problems, grouped to be used on a chapter by chapter basis The problems are designed to illustrate practical applications of the text material. The parts of this book of most interest and value to the EMC engineer will be the chapters on Thermal Noise, Antennas, Propagation and Transmission Lines, and  Reflection and Refraction. This is not  to downpade the chapters on Statistics and Its Applications, Signal Processing and Detection, and Some System Characteristics which also contain much potentially useful materials. Additional plus values for the book include a list of 40 references, a table of symbols used throughout the book, and a subject index. Some readers may find the condensed type and close line spacing hard to read. It was apparently set up by typewriter using an elite type face with single line spacing. When reduced down to a 6 by 9 5 inch size page it is too crowded for easy reading. In spite of this shortcoming your reviewer recommends this book as a worthwhile reference in this field of interest.
