Signal & Image Processing

Speech Enhancement Theory and Practice, Second Edition

Electroacoustics Mendel Kleiner Based on 20 years of teaching, this text covers electric acoustic transducers such as microphones and loudspeakers, with additional material on array, radiation impedance, acoustic center, and modern loudspeaker enclosures. It includes appendices on basic filter theory and electrical circuit theory, and homework problems in each chapter. Students can easily grasp the key scientific and engineering principles necessary to understand the practical design methods. The book also contains information on how the rooms in which these transducers are used influence their acoustical behavior and how the properties of such transducers are assessed. “This book includes a comprehensive coverage pertinent to fundamental of electroacoustics, the latest knowledge about electroacoustics. The main strengths are: logically divided subtopics are arranged in separate chapters. Each chapter also features review-questions and detailed, individual problems at the end of the chapter, suitable for university level (both under- and graduate) course teaching or even self-study. Many basic theoretical concepts are explained with help of minimal amount of math, accessible to many students or audio engineers.” —Ning Xiang, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

“The book strikes a good balance between classical and updated material, between theoretical principles for transducers and their practical aspects, and does so at a level which seems right for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course. The topic and the presentation should be perfect for attracting students to further graduate studies in acoustics.” —Peter Svensson, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

Philipos C. Loizou University of Texas at Dallas, USA

This second edition of a bestseller covers traditional speech enhancement algorithms such as spectral subtraction and Wiener filtering algorithms as well as stateof-the-art algorithms including minimum mean squared error algorithms that incorporate signal-presence uncertainty and subspace algorithms that incorporate psychoacoustic models. The coverage includes objective and subjective measures used to evaluate speech quality and intelligibility. This new edition contains a new chapter on speech intelligibility, and updates each chapter, and an updated DVD to be included with the book. “... by far the most comprehensive treatment of speech enhancement available. All the most important techniques in the broad field of speech enhancement are covered, yet the author at the same time manages to treat each topic in great detail. ... The algorithms are complex, but Loizou's exposition is outstanding. The second edition brings the material right up to date, covering recent significant breakthroughs in binary masking algorithms ... . One of the great strengths of this text is the availability of code, allowing readers to better understand, deploy, and extend existing algorithms for speech enhancement. ... This volume is in reality far more than a textbook on speech enhancement. It is also one of the most important works on the effect of noise on speech perception, and as such will make a huge contribution to the education of the next generation of auditory scientists, and feed technological developments in all aspects of speech communication, particularly for individuals with hearing impairment.” —Prof. Martin Cooke, Ikerbasque and University of the Basque Country, Vitoria, Spain

“This textbook offers outstanding reference material for teaching the clinical application of spectral enhancement to the audiology community. Dr. Loizou offers the reader tremendous insight into the fundamentals of digital signal processing, speech production and perception, and the characteristics of various noise sources. ...

Signals and Systems Laboratory with MATLAB®

Michael Corinthios

Alex Palamides and Anastasia Veloni

Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Technological Educational Institute of Piraeus, Greece

Signals, Systems, Transforms, and Digital Signal Processing with MATLAB® has as its principal objective simplification without compromise of rigor. Graphics, called by the author “the language of scientists and engineers,” physical interpretation of subtle mathematical concepts, and a gradual transition from basic to more advanced topics are meant to be among the important contributions of this book.

With its exhaustive coverage of relevant theory, Signals and Systems Laboratory with MATLAB® is a powerful resource that provides simple, detailed instructions on how to apply computer methods to signals and systems analysis. Written for laboratory work in a course on signals and systems, this book presents a corresponding MATLAB implementation for each theoretical concept introduced, making it a powerful learning tool for engineers, scientists, and students alike.

After illustrating the analysis of a function through a step-by-step addition of harmonics, the book deals with Fourier and Laplace transforms. It then covers discrete time signals and systems, the z-transform, continuous- and discrete-time filters, active and passive filters, lattice filters, and continuous- and discretetime state space models. The author goes on to discuss the Fourier transform of sequences, the discrete Fourier transform, and the fast Fourier transform, followed by Fourier-, Laplace, and z-related transforms, including Walsh–Hadamard, generalized Walsh, Hilbert, discrete cosine, Hartley, Hankel, Mellin, fractional Fourier, and wavelet. He also surveys the architecture and design of digital signal processors, computer architecture, logic design of sequential circuits, and random signals. He concludes with simplifying and demystifying the vital subject of distribution theory. Drawing on much of the author’s own research work, this book expands the domains of existence of the most important transforms and thus opens the door to a new world of applications using novel, powerful mathematical tools.

Electromagnetics & Electronic Materials Numerical Techniques in Electromagnetics with MATLAB® Third Edition Matthew N.O. Sadiku Prairie View A&M University, Texas, USA

Despite the dramatic growth in the availability of powerful computer resources, the EM community lacks a comprehensive text on the computational techniques used to solve EM problems. The first edition of Numerical Techniques in Electromagnetics filled that gap and became the reference of choice for thousands of engineers, researchers, and students. This third edition of the bestselling text reflects the continuing increase in awareness and use of numerical techniques and incorporates advances and refinements made in recent years. Most notable among these are the improvements made to the standard algorithm for the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and treatment of absorbing boundary conditions in FDTD, finite element, and transmission-line-matrix methods. The author also has added a chapter on the method of lines. Numerical Techniques in Electromagnetics with MATLAB®, Third Edition continues to teach readers how to pose, numerically analyze, and solve EM problems, to give them the ability to expand their problem-solving skills using a variety of methods, and to prepare them for research in electromagnetism. Now the third edition goes even further toward providing a comprehensive resource that addresses all of the most useful computation methods for EM problems and includes MATLAB code instead of FORTRAN.

Magnetics, Dielectrics, and Wave Propagation with MATLAB® Codes Carmine Vittoria Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Because future microwave, magnetic resonance, and wave propagation systems will involve miniature devices, nanosize structures, multifunctional applications, and composites of various types of materials, their development requires distinctly multidisciplinary collaborations. That means specialized approaches will not be sufficient to satisfy requirements. Anticipating that many students lack specialized training in magnetism and magnetics, Magnetics, Dielectrics, and Wave Propagation with MATLAB® Codes avoids application-specific descriptions. Instead, it connects phenomenological approaches with comprehensive microscopic formulations to provide a new and sufficiently broad physical perspective on modern trends in microwave technology. Reducing complex calculation approaches to their simplest form, this book’s strength is in its step-bystep explanation of the procedure for unifying Maxwell’s equations with the free energy via the equation of motion. With clear and simple coverage of everything from first principles to calculation tools, it revisits the fundamentals that govern the phenomenon of magnetic resonance and wave propagation in magneto-dielectric materials.

Introduces constitutive equations via the free energy, paving the way to consider wave propagation in any media This text helps students develop an essential understanding of the origin of magnetic parameters from first principles, as well as how these parameters are to be included in the large-scale free energy. More importantly, it facilitates successful calculation of said parameters, which is required as the dimensionality of materials is reduced toward the microscopic scale. The author presents a systematic way of deriving the permeability tensor of the most practical magnetic materials, cubic and hexagonal crystal structures. Using this simple and very general approach, he effectively bridges the gap between microscopic and macroscopic principles as applied to wave propagation. Catalog no.

Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering Charles A. Gross and Thaddeus A. Roppel Auburn University, Alabama, USA

Real-world engineering problems are rarely, if ever, neatly divided into mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, and other categories. Engineers from all disciplines eventually encounter computer and electronic controls and instrumentation, which require at least a basic knowledge of electrical and other engineering specialties, as well as associated economics, and environmental, political, and social issues. Co-authored by Charles Gross—one of the most wellknown and respected professors in the field of electric machines and power engineering—and his worldrenowned colleague Thad Roppel, Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering provides an overview of the profession for engineering professionals and students whose specialization lies in areas other than electrical. For instance, civil engineers must contend with commercial electrical service and lighting design issues. Mechanical engineers have to deal with motors in HVAC applications, and chemical engineers are forced to handle problems involving process control. Simple and easy-to-use, yet more than sufficient in rigor and coverage of fundamental concepts, this resource teaches EE fundamentals but omits the typical analytical methods that hold little relevance for the audience. The authors provide many examples to illustrate concepts, as well as homework problems to help readers understand and apply presented material. In many cases, courses for non-electrical engineers, or non-EEs, have presented watered-down classical EE material, resulting in unpopular courses that students hate and senior faculty members understandingly avoid teaching. To remedy this situation—and create more well-rounded practitioners—the authors focus on the true EE needs of non-EEs, as determined through their own teaching experience, as well as significant input from non-EE faculty. The book provides several important contemporary interdisciplinary examples to support this approach. The result is a fullcolor modern narrative that bridges the various EE and non-EE curricula and serves as a truly relevant course that students and faculty can both enjoy. Catalog no.

Math & Stats for Engineers

Probability Foundations for Engineers Joel A. Nachlas Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, USA

“One of the distinctive feature (and one of its strength) of the book Probability Foundations for Engineers is that it gives an in-depth and rigorous presentation of probability theory, while avoiding a classical mathematical—theorems/proofs—presentation. … As the author himself writes, he wants his book to be a supporting tool to go from intuition to mathematical rigor and this is certainly rewarding and fruitful from the pedagogical point of view. … The approach of using everyday engineering intuition to introduce the basic notions of probabilities theory should make this book a valuable tool for engineering students who want to learn the basic concepts and notions of probability theory and to be able to make use of these on engineering problems.” —Christophe Bereguer, Grenoble Institute of Technology, France

“… this book takes a fresh approach to teaching undergraduate engineering students the fundamentals of probability. The book exploits students’ existing intuition regarding probabilistic concepts when presenting these concepts in a more rigorous manner. Students should be better able to retain the knowledge gained through reading this text because of the relevance of the examples and applications.” —Lisa Maillart, University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Includes a solutions manual and PowerPoint® figure slides upon qualifying course adoption
