Making signal processing real--out of the lab and down to the street. Moving technology from ideal research conditions into real-life applications is always a challenge. The computing and timing issues involved in signal processing make it an especially difficult transition. Real-Time Signal Processing covers the entire process of implementing signal processing algorithms, from real-time concepts to multiprocessors and tradeoff analyses, and it provides a toolkit of hardware and software computing elements. This book walks through the entire system design process, from requirements development through life-cycle systems engineering, project management, integration, testing, and maintenance.

To work within the limitations of functioning implementations, Real-Time Signal Processing describes techniques that can be used across a broad range of hardware and software systems. Special emphasis is given to:

• Differences between hardware and software realization.
• Tradeoffs of space against time for both software and hardware.
• Off-the-shelf vs. custom implementations.

The book provides a process for mapping algorithms and architectures and illuminates it with several examples, including:

• Wavelet analysis.
• Linear predictive coding.
• Compression of speech and images.
• Recognition of speech and images.
• Hidden Markov modeling.
• Image formation for synthetic aperture radar.

When it's time to put theory into practice, Real-Time Signal Processing provides the complete roadmap.
