With the constant increase in applications involving image processing and multimedia procedures digital signal processing (DSP) is important for modern information engineering. One- and Multidimensional Signal Processing provides an introduction to the algorithmic basics of image and TV communication systems as well as for systems in automation and robotic applications using sensor based imaging techniques. This novel combination of both one- and multidimensional signal processing discusses the similarities between the two and aids the understanding of one theory over the other.* Presents an applications-oriented approach to image processing including TV signal processing and discusses image scanning and the use of DSP procedures or digital filters* Provides clear and comprehensive coverage of basic concepts such as spatial frequency, spatio-temporal signal processing and the spectral representation of motion and tracking of moving objects* Features examples of applications including image pick-up and display as well as still image filtering and image sequence interpolation* Introduces new design strategies for finite-impulse response (FIR) filters for image processing applciations using spatial and frequency design constraints* Includes an introduction to nonlinear image processing techniques applying edge detection operators, morphological operators and rank order filtersSuch a practical book will have wide-ranging appeal as a valuable resource for researchers and developers and as an ideal introductory text for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students.

The European research project DESERVE (DEvelopment platform for Safe and Efficient dRiVE, 2012-2015) had the aim of designing and developing a platform tool to cope with the continuously increasing complexity and the simultaneous need to reduce cost for future embedded Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). For this purpose, the DESERVE platform profits from cross-domain software reuse, standardization of automotive software component interfaces, and easy but safety-compliant integration of heterogeneous modules. This enables the development of a new generation of ADAS applications, which challengingly combine different functions, sensors, actuators, hardware platforms, and Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). This book presents the different results of the DESERVE project concerning the ADAS development platform, test case functions, and validation and evaluation of different approaches. The reader is invited to substantiate the content of this book with the deliverables published during the DESERVE project. Technical topics discussed in this book include:Modern ADAS development platforms;Design space exploration;Driving modelling;Video-based and Radar-based ADAS functions;HMI for ADAS;Vehicle-hardware-in-the-loop validation systems
