Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is an outgrowth of the 2nd International Workshop on SVD and Signal Processing which was held in Kingston, Rhode Island, 25-27 June, 1990. The singular value decomposition (SVD) has been applied to signal processing problems since the late 1970's, although it has been known in various forms for over 100 years.;SVD filtering has been shown to give better results at lower signal-to-noise ratios than classical techniques based on linear filtering. This explains in part the recent interest in SVD techniques for signal processing. This book is a compilation of papers that examine in detail the singular decomposition of a matrix and its application to problems in signal processing. Algorithms and implementation architectures for computing the SVD are discussed, and analysis techniques for predicting and understanding the performance of SVD-based algorithms are given. The volume will provide both a stimulus for future research in this field as well as useful reference material for many years to come.
