After many years of practicing, reading and writing about signal processing education, we have observed some common themes. This paper discusses the trade-off of simulation versus the use of real-time processing on real-world signals as a motivator for signal processing students. A real-time DSP dem…
A new generation of affordable infrared (IR) cameras provides both IR and visible images, which allows professors to introduce the concept of multispectral (and hyperspectral) signal processing in a particularly motivating way for students. We describe the use of a FLIR E60 camera in a graduate digi…
Today there is a global need for engineers who are “DSP literate.” An obvious solution for supplying this need is to educate the next generation of DSP engineers. To do this, several powerful and highly versatile options are available. Real-time or quasi-real-time systems can be implemented using, f…
The challenge of teaching practical optical engineering in a single course can be overcome by taking advantage of existing student knowledge of signal processing concepts. Such an approach greatly facilitates student mastery of new topics. This paper describes how professors can use this technique t…
