SIGNAL SYNTHESIS AND RECOVERY TECHNIQUES

ECE 330

Time-domain response and convolution; frequency-domain response using Fourier series, Fourier transform, Laplace transform; discrete Fourier series and transform; sampling; z-transform; relationships between time and frequency descriptions of discrete and continuous signals and systems.

ECE 738

Deterministic and stochastic spatio-temporal image models, transform domain processing, Markov random fields and anisotropic diffusion; MAP parameter estimation, ill-posed inverse problems, robust statistics and non-linear digital filtering in image processing. Applications to image restoration, motion estimation, (video) image compression (MPEG, JPEG) and tomography. Knowledge of image processing [such asE C E/​COMP SCI  533] strongly encouraged.

ECE 431

Sampling continuous-time signals and reconstruction of continuous-time signals from samples; spectral analysis of signals using the discrete Fourier transform; the fast Fourier transform and fast convolution methods; z-transforms; finite and infinite impulse response filter design techniques; signal flow graphs and introduction to filter implementation.

COMPSCI/ECE 533

Mathematical representation of continuous and digital images; models of image degradation; picture enhancement, restoration, segmentation, and coding; pattern recognition, tomography.

ECE 203

Introduction to the signals, information, and computational techniques in electrical engineering.
