Traitement du signalLe traitement du signal est la discipline qui développe et étudie les techniques de traitement, d'analyse et d' des . Parmi les types d'opérations possibles sur ces signaux, on peut dénoter le contrôle, le filtrage, la compression et la transmission de données, la réduction du bruit, la déconvolution, la prédiction, l'identification, la classification Bien que cette discipline trouve son origine dans les sciences de l'ingénieur (particulièrement l'électronique et l'automatique), elle fait aujourd'hui largement appel à de nombreux domaines des mathématiques, comme la , les processus stochastiques, les espaces vectoriels et l'algèbre linéaire et des mathématiques appliquées, notamment la théorie de l'information, l'optimisation ou encore l'analyse numérique.
Noise shapingNoise shaping is a technique typically used in digital audio, , and video processing, usually in combination with dithering, as part of the process of quantization or bit-depth reduction of a digital signal. Its purpose is to increase the apparent signal-to-noise ratio of the resultant signal. It does this by altering the spectral shape of the error that is introduced by dithering and quantization; such that the noise power is at a lower level in frequency bands at which noise is considered to be less desirable and at a correspondingly higher level in bands where it is considered to be more desirable.
Canonical formIn mathematics and computer science, a canonical, normal, or standard form of a mathematical object is a standard way of presenting that object as a mathematical expression. Often, it is one which provides the simplest representation of an object and allows it to be identified in a unique way. The distinction between "canonical" and "normal" forms varies from subfield to subfield. In most fields, a canonical form specifies a unique representation for every object, while a normal form simply specifies its form, without the requirement of uniqueness.
