Academic Press’ Library in Signal Processing, 1st Edition

Key Features

A Roadmap: short descriptive overviews (1-2 pages) of topics in the field,

including an historical perspective of their development, overview of key

research and implementation issues, links to other topics, and references to

key papers and books

? In-depth, overview introductions (60-100 page modules) to new

technologies (available for purchase separately).

? Highly structured and linked content supported by a powerful search

capability that enables, for example, searches to be made by algorithm

across different fields.

? Content that is regularly updated, making it very current.

? Introduction to the principles and linking these to the new technologies and

their application

? Articles on practitioner topics which would include sets of links to the

websites of companies discussed in the article

? Tutorial on patents, intellectual property and would include links to public

domain patents which are either historically important or recent and

topical
