Digital Media Processing: DSP Algorithms Using C


Product Description
Multimedia processing demands efficient programming in order to optimize functionality. Data, image, audio, and video processing, some or all of which are present in all electronic devices today, are complex programming environments. Optimized algorithms (step-by-step directions) are difficult to create but can make all the difference when developing a new application.This book discusses the most current algorithms available that will maximize your programming keeping in mind the memory and real-time constraints of the architecture with which you are working. A wide range of algorithms is covered detailing basic and advanced multimedia implementations, along with, cryptography, compression, and data error correction. The general implementation concepts can be integrated into many architectures that you find yourself working with on a specific project. Analog Devices' BlackFin technology is used for examples throughout the book.
*Discusses how to decrease algorithm development times to streamline your programming
*Covers all the latest algorithms needed for contrained systems
*Includes case studies on WiMAX, GPS, and portable media players
Digital Media Processing: DSP Algorithms Using C Review
Digital Media Processing provides a broad overview of DSP algorithms from many different disciplines. I liked how the author provided implementations of each algorithm written in the C programming language. The examples are easy to understand, and well written. I also enjoyed how the examples and some embedded programming principles were explained using a Blackfin DSP from Analog Devices, although sometimes it did feel like an advertisement. I guess this was to be expected since the author is employed by Analog Devices. My main criticism of the text is that it only provides an overview of many topics. Having experience in the industry, the text left something to be desired. Some of the included topics are data security and encryption, error detection, data compression, and signal processing.Overall, I thought this book provides a good overview of each topic and would highly recommend this book to entry-level engineers wanting to learn about DSP Algorithms. I would not recommend this book for engineers with extensive experience in the industry. You would be better off purchasing a book about the specific topic in which you are interested
