Signal & Image Processing Real-Time Digital Signal Processing from MATLAB® to C with the TMS320C6x DSPs Second Edition Thad B. Welch, Cameron H.G. Wright, and Michael G. Morrow "…There are many good textbooks today to teach digital signal processing, but most of them are content to teach the theory, and perhaps some MATLAB® simulations. This book has taken a bold step forward. It not only presents the theory, it reinforces it with simulations, and then it shows us how to actually use the results in real-time applications. …This last step is not a trivial step, and that is why so many books, and courses, present only theory and simulations. With the combined expertise of the three authors of this text…the reader can step into the real-time world of applications with a text that presents an accessible path…" — Delores M. Etter, Texas Instruments Distinguished Chair in Electrical Engineering and Executive Director, Caruth Institute for Engineering Education, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas, USA

Mastering practical application of real-time digital signal processing (DSP) remains one of the most challenging and time-consuming pursuits in the field. It is even more difficult without a resource to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Filling that void, Real-Time Digital Signal Processing from MATLAB® to C with the TMS320C6x DSPs, Second Edition is organized into three sections that cover enduring fundamentals, practical projects, and invaluable appendices. This updated edition gives readers hands-on experience in real-time DSP using a step-by-step framework that also incorporates demonstrations, exercises, and problems, coupled with brief overviews of applicable theory and MATLAB application. Engineers, educators, and students rely on this book for precise, simplified instruction on the use of real-time DSP applications. The book’s software supports the latest high-performance hardware, including the powerful, inexpensive, and versatile OMAP-L138 Experimenter Kit and other development boards. Incorporating readers’ valuable feedback and suggestions, this installment covers additional topics (such as PN sequences) and more advanced realtime DSP projects (including higher-order digital communications projects), making it even more valuable as a learning tool.

Microcontroller Programming An Introduction

Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence

Syed R. Rizvi

Richard E. Neapolitan

Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, USA

Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago, USA

"... a good framework to the tools and techniques through the assembly and C languages for building embedded applications. … The approach in the book is a simplified one which is targeted to beginning undergraduate students in computer science/electrical engineering with little programming and hardware experience. ... covers all the essential topics …"

A thorough introduction to artificial intelligence (AI), this text provides an in-depth overview of the key concepts and techniques involved in the field. It also discusses the various areas and successes of the rational and emergent software approaches to AI. Throughout the text, theory is introduced via examples, giving readers the foundation to solve problems with logic that they can use later in AI-related research and other domains. The author also covers algorithms in sufficient detail, enabling users to easily understand and implement them.

—Shaharuddin Salleh, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Written to help readers better understand the essentials of microcontroller programming, this textbook combines theory and practical examples to present concepts in a way that both students and professionals will find useful. It begins with the introduction of basic electronics, followed with coverage of microcontroller hardware and interfacing devices. It then addresses fundamental microcontroller programming techniques and advanced topics such as interfacing and programmable timer operations. Photographs illustrate step-by-step procedures, and case studies and examples portray real-life scenarios. An accompanying website provides short videos and additional information.

Features • Presents end-of-chapter questions with solutions • Offers real-world examples to illustrate application of concepts • Includes a glossary of terms • Contains case studies for every chapter • Provides short videos, presentation slides, and laboratory exercises on an accompanying website
