Calendar Outline:

Characterization of multidimensional (MD) signals, the MD Laplace, Fourier and Z transforms. Practical analog and digital signals and their MD energy density spectra. Aliasing, convolution, boundary conditions, causality, and stability in MD.  Characterization of linear shift-invariant systems using MD transform transfer functions. State variable representations of MD systems. Elementary decompositions of MD transfer functions and bounded-input bounded-output stability. Design and implementation of MD digital filters. Applications of MD signal processing in engineering systems. Two- and three-dimensional digital signal processing in seismic, sonar, imaging and broadcast television.

Schedule:

Tuesdays:   9.00 – 10.15 a.m.
Thursdays: 9.00 – 10.15 a.m.

Content and Delivery:

The course is intended for students wishing to pursue research in multidimensional or multimedia signal processing with applications in image and real-time video processing.  The content of the course is a mix of lectures and discussions with reading and Matlab-based assignments.  The lectures are based on key results from the literature and the discussions are based on reading and other assignments.



Prepare By Reviewing 1D Filter Theory:

Students are strongly advised to review the undergraduate Learning Units for the course Enel593 Digital Filters as preparation for this course.  They may be downloaded in PDF format:
