This textbook introduces sparse and redundant representations with a focus on applications in signal and image processing. The theoretical and numerical foundations are tackled before the applications are discussed. Mathematical modeling for signal sources is discussed along with how to use the proper model for tasks such as denoising, restoration, separation, interpolation and extrapolation, compression, sampling, analysis and synthesis, detection, recognition, and more. The presentation is elegant and engaging. Sparse and Redundant Representations is intended for graduate students in applied mathematics and electrical engineering, as well as applied mathematicians, engineers, and researchers who are active in the fields of signal and image processing.

RISC_CPU是一个复杂的数字逻辑电路，但是它的基本部件的逻辑并不复杂。从第四章我们知道可把它 分成八个基本部件： 1)时钟发生器 2)指令寄存器 3)累加器 4)RISC CPU算术逻辑运算单元 5)数据控制器 6)状态控制器 7)程序计数器 8)地址多路器 各部件的相互连接关系见图8.2。其中时钟发生器利用外来时钟信号进行分频生成一系列时钟信号， 送往其他部件用作时钟信号。各部件之间的相互操作关系则由状态控制器来控制。各部件的具体结构 和逻辑关系在下面的小节里逐一进行介绍。 8.2.1时钟发生器 时钟发生器 clkgen 利用外来时钟信号clk 来生成一系列时钟信号clk1、fetch、alu_clk 送往CPU 的其他部件。其中fetch是外来时钟 clk 的八分频信号。利用fetch的上升沿来触发CPU控制器开始 执行一条指令，同时fetch信号还将控制地址多路器输出指令地址和数据地址。clk1信号用作指令寄 存器、累加器、状态控制器的时钟信号。alu_clk 则用于触发算术逻辑运算单元。 时钟发生器clkgen的波形见下图8.2.2所示： CLK CLK1 CLKGEN ALU_CLK FETCH CLK CLK1 ALU_CLK FETCH 图1. 时钟发生器 RESET RESET

This book is the result of an initiative launched by Prof. Vedran Kordic, a major goal of which is to continue a good tradition - to bring together reputable researchers from different countries in order to provide a comprehensive coverage of advanced and modern topics in scheduling not yet reflected by other books.
