Wavelets for Sensing Technologies

by Andrew K. Chan, Cheng Peng

Overview

Although there have been numerous books on wavelet applications to various scientific disciplines, this cutting-edge, practical book is the first to concentrate on wavelet applications to remote sensing and subsurface sensing from an engineer's point of view. The book introduces you to wavelet transform uses in a wide range of sensing technologies, demonstrates the usefulness of combining the wavelet transform with other signal processing tools to solve complicated sensing technology problems, and features several time-saving algorithms and Matlab® codes that help you with your specific projects in the field.
