In this new edition of the Handbook of Signal Processing Systems, many of the
chapters from the previous editions have been updated, and several new chapters
have been added. The new contributions include chapters on signal processing methods for light field displays, throughput analysis of dataflow graphs, modeling for
reconfigurable signal processing systems, fast Fourier transform architectures, deep
neural networks, programmable architectures for histogram of oriented gradients
processing, high dynamic range video coding, system-on-chip architectures for data
analytics, analysis of finite word-length effects in fixed-point systems, and models
of architecture.
We hope that this updated edition of the handbook will continue to serve as
a useful reference to engineering practitioners, graduate students, and researchers
working in the broad area of signal processing systems. Selected chapters from the
book can be used as core readings for seminar- or project-oriented graduate courses
in signal processing systems. Given the wide range of topics covered in the book,
instructors have significant flexibility to orient such a course towards particular
themes or levels of abstraction that they would like to emphasize.
This new edition of the handbook is organized in three parts. Part I motivates
representative applications that drive and apply state-of-the-art methods for design
and implementation of signal processing systems; Part II discusses architectures
for implementing these applications; and Part III focuses on compilers, as well as
models of computation and their associated design tools and methodologies. The
chapters are ordered alphabetically by the first author’s last name in Parts I and
III, while they are ordered in Part II starting with chapters that cover more general
topics, and followed by chapters that are more application-specific
