Description

An advanced course on methods for digitally processing signals. Practical methods of designing digital signal filters, especially those with finite impulse response, including implementation on devices with finite precision. Statistical signal processing and estimation. Multidimensional signals and signal processing. The multidimensional Fourier transform and applications. Time-frequency analysis and the wavelet transform.

This course helps the students achieve an understanding of the analysis of signals and their processing using digital, statistical and machine learning techniques.

Learning Outcomes

  • At the conclusion of this course you should be able to:
  • LO1: Implement and evaluate different filter design methods for noise and interference mitigation in real-world signals (WA1, WA2, WA3, WA5)

  • LO2: Apply the 2-dimensional Fourier transform to image processing problems such as filtering, computer tomography and deconvolution (WA1, WA2, WA3)

  • LO3: Apply dimensionality reduction methods and compressive sensing techniques for signal compression and pattern extraction (WA1, WA2, WA3)

  • LO4: Design and implement different classifiers such as the support vector machine for real-world problems  (WA1, WA2, WA3)

  • LO5: Research an advanced signal processing topic, design an application for the topic, and communicate results orally and as a written report in a team environment (WA1, WA2, WA3, WA4, WA5, WA9, WA10)

      • University Graduate Attributes

      This course will provide students with an opportunity to develop the Graduate Attributes specified below:

      Critically competent in a core academic discipline of their award

      Students know and can critically evaluate and, where applicable, apply this knowledge to topics/issues within their majoring subject.

      Employable, innovative and enterprising

      Students will develop key skills and attributes sought by employers that can be used in a range of applications.
