Objectives The main goal of the course is to:
1. present selected mathematical and algorithmic structures in MATLAB
environment used for signal analysis and processing
2. study fundamentals of discrete Fourier transform and its properties in connection with signal and image analysis and discretization
3. analyse principles if digital filtering in the time (FIR, IIR) and
frequency domains for signal de-noising and image enhancement
4. discuss selected mathematical methods of signal analysis and to
present fundamentals of wavelet transform in signal decomposition,
modification and reconstruction with applications
5. summarize basic principles of signal modelling in its prediction using
both linear and nonlinear methods including neural networks
6. present selected applications of signal processing in environmental
engineering, biomedical signal and image processsing and energy
consumption data prediction

It is supposed that course participants will be able to use the MATLAB environment to solve selected problems of the interdisciplinary area of signal and image processing, to use its visualization tools, and to study selected applications of digital signal processing methods.
