Publisher's Synopsis
This is a survey of recent work in signal processing. Some of the papers report progress which has been made in established areas of research such as adaptive filtering and spectral analysis. Other papers relate to emerging topics of interest such as wavelet analysis, fractal approximation and nonlinear filtering. Particular effort was made to include papers which consider the development of mathematical techniques for various signal processing applications, ranging from radar and communication systems to astronomy, seismology and medical imagery. The keynote paper by Professor J.G. Proakis encompasses all of these characteristics and thus sets the tone for the rest of the volume whilst reporting some highly significant research.
