Mathematical Methods in Digital Signal Processing

Student-Run Research Seminar

Speaker: Dr. Thomas Strohmer, Mathematics, UCDavis
Location: 693 Kerr
Start time: Fri, Jan 22 1999, 12:10PM

Digital signal processing has become an essential part of contemporary scientific and technological activity and even of everyday life. The objectives of signal processing are analysis and diagnostics, coding and compression, transmission and reconstruction. Based on recent developments in harmonic analysis I will present some new mathematical methods in digital signal processing. In the first part of the talk I will discuss numerical algorithms for reconstructing signals from scattered data. Applications include medical imaging, geophysics and music. In the second part I will present some results on time-frequency analysis of signals, a topic that plays an important role in tele-communication and data compression.
