Digital Signal Processing
Introduction to Digital Signal Processing (1 day)
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) takes real-world signals like vibration, audio, voice, temperature, pressure, or position to manipulate and analyze these signals to extract information, detect patterns, and make real-time decisions. It encompasses techniques such as filtering, noise reduction, and signal analysis to enhance data quality and accuracy. DSP is crucial for tasks like sensor data processing, condition monitoring, adaptive control, and optimization in various domains, including smart factories. An understanding of digital signal processing fundamentals and techniques is essential for anyone whose work is concerned with signal processing applications.
This course introduces the basic concepts and principles underlying digital signal processing. Topics include resampling techniques, preprocessing techniques of continuous signals, spectral analysis with FFT, denoising and filtering techniques, wavelets, feature detection & extraction, and techniques to execute variability analysis of signals.
All concepts will be illustrated using real-world datasets from industrial applications (e.g. condition monitoring with vibration sensors).
