• #### Coherent multiscale image processing using quaternion wavelets ﻿

(2006)
This thesis develops a quaternion wavelet transform (QWT) as a new multiscale analysis tool for geometric image features. The QWT is a near shift-invariant tight frame representation whose coefficients sport a magnitude ...
• #### Collective antenna effects in the terahertz and infrared response of highly aligned carbon nanotube arrays ﻿

(2013)
We study macroscopically aligned single-wall carbon nanotube arrays with uniform lengths via polarization-dependent terahertz and infrared transmission spectroscopy. Polarization anisotropy is extreme at frequencies less ...
• #### Communication Processors ﻿

(2005-07-01)
Communication processors are processors with specific optimizations to support communication sys-tems. Communication processors exist in a wide variety of forms and can be categorized based on the communication system, ...
• #### Community Driven Digital Signal Processing Laboratories in Connexions ﻿

(2004-06-01)
The conventional textbook is largely inadequate for digital signal processing (DSP) laboratory education due to inherent factors such as a small and fragmented market and rapid hardware obsolescence. Freely available ...
