Now in an updated second edition, this easily accessible book presents recent advances in digital signal processing (DSP) that simplify or increase the computational speed of common signal processing operations. The material is practical, real-world, with clever DSP tricks of the trade not covered in conventional DSP textbooks.

A guide to the design and operation of the FlexRay bus, the protocol for automotive network communications. It covers: the FlexRay concept and its communication protocol; the FlexRay physical layer; synchronization and global time; architecture of a node; and, components and development aid tools for hardware and software.

The book provides a practical introduction to the most important topics in image and video processing using MATLAB (and its Image Processing Toolbox) as a tool to demonstrate the most important techniques and algorithms. The contents are presented in a clear, technically accurate, objective way, with just enough mathematical detail.

The FourthEdition to the Introduction of Random Signals and Applied Kalman Filtering is updated to cover innovations in the Kalman filter algorithm and the proliferation of Kalman filtering applications from the past decade.

For the student and general reader, a tour of the digital universe that offers critical observations and new perspectives on human communication and intelligence.
