I don't have an explicit problem to be answered per se, but what can I do about my signals processing course? We're only into our 4th week of school, and already my professor has had several lectures on Fourier Transforms. I am lost. Besides basic calculus, trig, and complex number theory...

I am using the matched filtering technique to extract the data from a heavy noise background in the process of detection of gravitational waves. I calculate the correlation between the experimental data and a theoretical template. I have been told that the maximum of the correlation function...

I want to what is the actual job of a Control and signal processing engineer. And does he/she has any kind of job type in power plants or energy supplies? hope to get an answer as soon as possible. Airer

Since signal processing electronics rely on a constant DC power supply with a supply current that can only be converted into a fluctuating DC current by the switching devices of the circuitry, does an AC input signal coming from a microphone or wireless receiver need to be converted into a...

Hi, everyone~ I have a BS in EE, and I want to be a researcher in cosmology or astronomy. To accomplish that I have to get a PHD in such areas. But my major in college was mainly about signal processing and networks. So, I'm wondering if there is any PHD program in cosmology or astronomy that...

I have a couple of questions about the theory about how to tell whether a system is casual and FIR or IIR. First point is about a casual system. Is it true that all FIR systems are casual? How can you tell if an IIR system is casual? I am I correct in thinking that a FIR system only has a...

Has anyone heard of a feature whereby display processing power is linked to system power levels ?eg.: if you're operating on battery rather than wall plug, can that have an effect on whether you get full acceleration when watching videos? My sister claims that, on her Mac, when the battery is...

Hey guys, Im 2nd year undergrad majoring in Medical Physics and Imaging Tech. This week we got a presentation from the graduates of my course and was told that the chance of getting into the field is very very small, specifically the hospital physicst and actually advised us to think of other...

hi, I've got a really great picture of the carbon atoms in a graphine (HOPG) sample, using STM technique (picture attached). I would like to remove from the picture all the data came from noise etc.. I'm working with MATLAB, and I tried to use fast Fourier transform (fft2), but didn't know how...

Hi, I have a complex time signal x(t)=X1*exp(i*∅)+X2*exp(i*2*∅). On converting to frequency domain, i expect frequency components at ω and twice of ω (when ∅=ω*t). FFT gives the desired frequencies, but the amplitudes don't correspond to X1 and X2. I understand that this is due to the phase...

What is known of how our brain processes our vision and where can I learn about it?

I am trying to understand some really basics of image processing. One of them is the DFT ( Discrte Fourier Tranform). I have seen code segments, read stuff but still I don't get how the image produced is related to the first one. For example, I take an image with vertical black and white...

I want to write a code for a MCU, the MCU will output an image to a TFT screen, and here is the tricky part: I want to make the final display to mimic old CRT， which means it will shrink, skew, and out of sync randomly, and the image will be constantly shaking. I hope the FPS would be 60...

I've always wanted to study something that has to do with how information is processed in the brain. I don't know if this sounds silly but almost like "reading" the brain. Perhaps like data/mathematical modelling? I don't really know what educational path I must choose. I am thinking that the...

Hi, I have an image (attached) I have to use as a reference. To be clear I have to use this grid as calibration for an acquisition sistem. I want to get the grid of this image and superimpose it on other images. Is it possible? how to do it? Thanks

I've designed both types of filters for years and can't really explain the difference in clear simple terms. I'm hoping somebody here can help me out with that. First, some working terminology: RF filter - a filter with a controlled input and output impedance, usually 50 ohms, to match the...

Hello everyone. We all know that conventional data computing technology is not sufficient to make complex mathematical calculations in some sense and we need to look at some other data computing technologies. I did some reading but could not deduce any answers for the following questions...

Is there any recommended books for signal processing for self study? Or like a reference book covering most fields? my final bachelor year has been filled with prescribed papers but I'm thinking I will need to be familiar with signal processing. At the moment I am looking "Digital Signal...

Hiya! Long time registrant, have not used these forums is years though... Anyhow, the problem I have is that I need to collect data from a very large number of images that are essentially horizontal lines on a page. I've attached a sample here, which has been processed to find the edges of...

I'm new to the field of signal processing and currently reading a paper which it uses cross-correlation of two signals for detecting some machine failures. But I'm confused with the complex conjugate in the equations. Take equation from wikipedia as example: (f\star g)(t)\equiv \int_{-\infty...

hi! i need help with problem: Let F(u,v) be the Fourier transform of an M x N image f(x,y). Let g(x,y) be an image of dimensions (2 M) x (2 N) whose Fourier transform G(u,v) is defined as follows: What does the image g(x,y) look like in terms of f(x,y)? my solution ...

In the digital communication class I took, people talk about how to do detection and processing at the baseband. But from what I read, it seems that many systems do the signal processing at some intermediate frequency without mixing it all the way back to baseband. My questions are why and how...

First of all, let me apologize if this question is in the wrong place. It's fundamentally a statistics question but it relates to computer science. I'm also not sure if this falls under the "homework" category, since it's for a class, but I need assistance on a general idea, not a problem set...

Processing raw data absorbances?? Hi, how do you process raw absorbances again, I know that you have to take the mean of the blank and take it away from all the other readings. However I have 9 blank readings? Which ones do I include in the average? The first two, or all of them?

Hey there, (I apologize if this is in the wrong section - please move it if it is) I'm an EE undergrad, and I'm wondering how much embedded software/programming is involved in fields like control and signal processing. To be a bit more specific, by "embedded software," I'm referring to...

Hi, I'm doing ICT (telecommunications) engineering and have enjoyed subjects which involved signal theory (using matlab, Fourier transform, modulation, filters etc). Just wondering if there is a job where I can use the theory/maths that I learned in these subjects?

Hi, I have a movie that contains a particle moving from one end of a channel to another end. The velocity of the particle is super-fast. I need to know how I can estimate the time and pictorially (like using a histogram--similar to plotting the heart pulses of a person) be able to tell when the...
