Beschreibung
The Handbook of Signal Processing in Acoustics presents signal processing as it is practiced in the field of acoustics. The Handbook is organized by areas of acoustics, with recognized leaders coordinating the self-contained chapters of each section. It brings together a wide range of perspectives from over 100 authors to reveal the interdisciplinary nature of signal processing in acoustics. Success in acoustic applications often requires juggling both the acoustic and the signal processing parameters of the problem. This handbook brings the key issues from both into perspective and is complementary to other reference material on the two subjects. It is a unique resource for experts and practitioners alike to find new ideas and techniques within the diversity of signal processing in acoustics.
Acoustics has a special relationship with signal processing. Many concepts in signal processing arise naturally from our general experience with sound and vibration and, more than in many other fields, acoustics is concerned with the acquisition, analysis, and synthesis of signals. Consequently, there is a rich resource of signal processing expertise within the acoustics community. There are many excellent reference books devoted to signal processing but the objective of the Handbook of Signal Processing in Acoustics is to bring together the signal processing expertise specific to acoustics and to capture the interdisciplinary nature of signal processing within acoustics. It is also hoped that the handbook will promote networking and the interchange of ideas between technical areas in acoustics. The handbook comprises 104 Chapters organized into 17 Parts. Each Part addresses a technical area of acoustics, reflecting the general demarcations of specialization within the acoustics community. An expert with broad knowledge of signal processing within their respective technical area was invited to act as a Section Leader for each Part of the handbook. These Section Leaders contributed substantially to the handbook project by helping to define the contents and scope of each chapter, finding an appropriate contributing expert author, and managing the review and revision of material. Collectively with the Editors, they form the Editorial Board for the handbook.
Provides the first multidisciplinary perspective of the signal processing that underpins most of modern acoustics
Provides a wide range of perspectives throughout the field of acoustics with over 100 authors
Contains extensive index and references
Serves as a practical complement to existing textbooks and reference material on generic signal processing
Includes individual chapters with a self-contained nature and structure that lends itself to electronic publishing and browsing
Focuses on how signal processing is used to deal with problems in acoustics
Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
The Handbook closes a gap in the literature between signal processing and acoustics as separate areas of research. In each area of acoustics, subtopics are identified which involve specialized signal processing techniques. Emphasis is placed on tables, charts, data, and equations of particular significance. The text includes extensive cross-referencing, particularly for generic signal processing techniques which are used in several applications. A separate and extensive compilation of definitions of terms is also included. The book will be a valuable resource for scientists and engineers in acoustics.

From the reviews:
“The ‘Handbook of Signal Processing in Acoustics’ provides an excellent reference for practicing acousticians and engineers. … encompasses essential background material, technical details, standards, and practical tips. It is aimed to a public with some knowledge of signal processing, and it is meant to be used as a reference. … Signal processing techniques which find major application in different areas of acoustics are well presented from different perspectives … . this compendium is an excellent reference for engineers and professionals working in acoustics.” (Joaquin E. Moran, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 58 (6), November-December, 2010)()
