Advances in digital signal processing algorithms and computer technology have combined to produce real-time systems with capabilities far beyond those of just few years ago. Nonlinear, adaptive methods for signal processing have emerged to provide better array gain performance, however, they lack the robustness of conventional algorithms. The challenge remains to develop a concept that exploits the advantages of both-a scheme that integrates these methods in practical, real-time systems. The Advanced Signal Processing Handbook helps you meet that challenge. Beyond offering an outstanding introduction to the principles and applications of advanced signal processing, it develops a generic processing structure that takes advantage of the similarities that exist among radar, sonar, and medical imaging systems and integrates conventional and nonlinear processing schemes.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Stergios Stergiopoulos received a B.Sc. degree from the University of Athens in 1976 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in geophysics in 1977 and 1982, respectively, from York University, Toronto, Canada. Presently he is an Adjunct Professor at the Department o f Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Western Ontario and a Senior Defence Scientist at Defence and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine (DCIEM ) of the Canadian DND. Prior to this assignment and from 1988 and 1991, he was with the SACLANT Centre in La Spezia, Italy, where he performed both theoretical and experimental research in sonar signal processing. At SACLANTCEN, he developed jointly with Dr. Sullivan from NUWC an acoustic synthetic aperture technique that has been patented by the U.S. Navy and the Hellenic Navy. From 1984 to 1988 he developed an underwater fixed array surveillance system for the Hellenic Navy in Greece and there he was appointed senior advisor to the Greek Minister of Defence. From 1982 to 1984 he worked as a research associate at York University and in collaboration with the U.S. Army Ballistic Research Lab (BRL), Aberdeen, MD, on projects related to the stability of liquid-filled spin stabilized projectiles. In 1984 he was awarded a U.S. NRC Research Fellowship for BRL. He was Associate Editor for the IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering and has prepared two special issues on Acoustic Synthetic Aperture and Sonar System Technology. His present interests are associated with the implementation of non-conventional processing schemes in multi-dimensional arrays of sensors for sonar and medical tomography (CT, MRI, ultrasound) systems. His research activities are supported by Canadian-DND Grants, by Research and Strategic Grants (NSERC-CANADA) ($300K), and by a NATO Collaborative Research Grant. Recently he has been awarded with European Commission-ESPRIT/IST Grants as technical manager of two projects entitled “New Roentgen” and “MITTUG.” Dr. Stergiopoulos is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and a senior member of the IEEE. He has been a consultant to a number of companies, including Atlas Elektronik in Germany, Hellenic Arms Industry, and Hellenic Aerospace Industry.
