Mathematical Methods in Digital Signal Processing
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Dr. Thomas Strohmer, Mathematics, UCDavis |
| Location: | 693 Kerr |

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.
