Abstract

The techniques of digital signal processing (DSP) and digital image processing (DIP) have found a myriad of applications in diverse fields of scientific, commercial, and technical endeavor. DSP and DIP education needs to cater to a wide spectrum of people from different educational backgrounds. This paper describes tools and techniques that facilitate a gentle introduction to fascinating concepts in signal and image processing. Novel LabVIEW- and MATLAB-based demonstrations are presented, which, when supplemented with Web-based class lectures, help to illustrate the power and beauty of signal and image-processing algorithms. Equipped with informative visualizations and a user-friendly interface, these modules are currently being used effectively in a classroom environment for teaching DSP and DIP at the University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin). Most demonstrations use audio and image signals to give students a flavor of real-world applications of signal and image processing. This paper is also intended to provide a library of more than 50 visualization modules that accentuate the intuitive aspects of DSP algorithms as a free didactic tool to the broad signal and image-processing community.
