It is a great honor and pleasure for me to introduce this book “Applications of DigitalSignal Processing” being published by InTech. The field of digital signal processing isat the heart of communications, biomedicine, defense applications, and so on. The fieldhas experienced an explosive growth from its origins, with huge advances both infundamental research and applications.In this book the reader will find a collection of chapters authored/co-authored by alarge number of experts around the world, covering the broad field of digital signalprocessing. I have no doubt that the book would be useful to graduate students,teachers, researchers, and engineers. Each chapter is self-contained and can bedownloaded and read independently of the others.This book intends to provide highlights of the current research in the digital signalprocessing area, showing the recent advances in this field. This work is mainlydestined to researchers in the digital signal processing related areas but it is alsoaccessible to anyone with a scientific background desiring to have an up-to-dateoverview of this domain. These nineteenth chapters present methodological advancesand recent applications of digital signal processing in various domains astelecommunications, array processing, medicine, astronomy, image and speechprocessing.Finally, I would like to thank all the authors for their scholarly contributions; withoutthem this project could not be possible. I would like to thank also to the In-Tech stafffor the confidence placed on me to edit this book, and especially to Ms. Danijela Duric,for her kind assistance throughout the editing process. On behalf of the authors andme, we hope readers enjoy this book and could benefit both novice and experts,providing a thorough understanding of several fields related to the digital signalprocessing and related areas.Dr. Christian Cuadrado-Laborde
