Publisher's Synopsis
Compiled from papers presented at the "11th Annual Florida Workshop in Nonlinear Astronomy and Physics - Nonlinear Signal and Image Analysis", this work focuses on recent developments in time series and image processing techniques, as well as the physics that can be extracted using these techniques. It offers alternatives to conventional linear techniques, especially where chaos plays a role, and covers wavelet analysis, non-linear time-series analysis, neural networks, and spatial structures.
