  Professor Strang has asked me to pass this announcement on to some
appropriate newsgroups. If you know others who might be interested,
please
forward this notice to them. I can tell you from personal experience
that
these workshops are very productive and very useful.

  Please reply to Professor Strang at gs@math.mit.edu rather than to me!

Cheers,
Tony Kocurko - Memorial University of Newfoundland

                             FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
                 WORKSHOP COURSE ON WAVELETS AND FILTER BANKS

    taught by Gilbert Strang (MIT) and Truong Nguyen (Boston University)

           Wednesday-Thursday-Friday   **August 18-19-20, 1999**
           at the University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis-St.Paul

TEXT: Participants will receive the textbook (revised edition in 1997)

        WAVELETS AND FILTER BANKS by Strang and Nguyen
        Wellesley-Cambridge Press, Box 812060, Wellesley MA 02482

This text is already in class use in many EE and mathematics
departments.
It can be ordered directly by email:   gs@math.mit.edu

       We also have a new  IMAGE CODER by Truong Nguyen  (1999) with
             integer and floating point versions of DCT and Wavelets
             Huffman and zero-tree coding and deringing (JPEG 2000)

This will be used at the Workshop and will be provided to participants.
The Workshop covers four broad topics:

             1.  Analysis of Filter Banks and Wavelets
             2.  Design Methods
           **3.  Applications (from Lecturers and Participants)
             4.  Hands-on Experience with Software (including image
coding)

   These four key areas will be developed in detail:

    1.  Analysis

        Multirate Signal Processing: Filtering, Decimation, Polyphase
        Perfect Reconstruction and Aliasing Removal
        Matrix Analysis: Toeplitz Matrices and Fast Algorithms
        Wavelet Transform: Pyramid and Cascade Algorithms
        Daubechies Wavelets, Orthogonal and Biorthogonal Wavelets
        Smoothness, Approximation, Boundary Filters and Wavelets
        Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis

    2.  Design Methods

        Spectral Factorization
        Cosine-Modulated Filter Banks
        Eigenfilters and Quadratic Constrained Least Squares
        Lattice Structure
        The Lifting Method  (Ladder Structure)

    3.  Applications

        Audio and Image Compression, Quantization Effects
        Transient Detection and Edge Detection
        Digital Communication and Multicarrier Modulation
        Transmultiplexers
        Medical Imaging and Scientific Visualization
        Image Compression / Image Segmentation / Image Enhancement
        Video Compression
  **    Deblocking algorithm for JPEG (DCT) Compression
  **    Deringing algorithm for wavelet-based compression
****    Integer DCT and Wavelets / image and video coding

    4.  Simulation Software

        MATLAB Wavelet Toolbox
        ECG Compression
        New IMAGE CODER

The goal of the Workshop is to be as useful as possible to all
participants. ** Please request information by an email message
with subject  Workshop  to the organizer

      Gilbert Strang:    gs@math.mit.edu

We will reply about the program and tuition cost and housing.
The tuition includes the textbook and software.  It will be the same as
in 1995 to 1998 (San Jose, Tampa, San Diego, Fairfax, Wellesley, and
Houston Workshops).  Tuition is reduced by 50% for graduate students.
We are very glad to answer all questions by email.  Our Web sites will
be
