Time-Frequency/Time-Scale Analysis / Edition 1

by Patrick Flandrin

Overview

This highly acclaimed work has so far been available only in French. It is a detailed survey of a variety of techniques for time-frequency/time-scale analysis (the essence of "Wavelet Analysis"). This book has broad and comprehensive coverage of a topic of keen interest to a variety of engineers, especially those concerned with signal and image processing. Flandrin provides a discussion of numerous issues and problems that arise from a mixed description in time and frequency, as well as problems in interpretation inherent in signal theory.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for the Book
"Nowadays one can say that signal processing offers a forum to numerous disciplines and requires manifold knowledge which can rarely be combined by a single scientist. P. Flandrin takes up this challenge with so much competence and a truly multi-disciplinary vision." —Preface, TIME-FREQUENCY/Time-Scale Analysis, YVES MEYER, French Academy of Sciences.

From the Publisher

Originally published in France as quence/>, this text is a multi-disciplinary introduction to applying the techniques of time- frequency signal analysis (or wavelet analysis) to signal processing. Special emphasis is given to the analysis of information embedded in nonstationary processes (e.g. drifts, ruptures, and modulations). Non-parametric approaches are given special treatment, particularly with regard to quadratic energy distributions. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
