Signal and image reconstruction in undergraduate education: Tools for assessing and comparing a set of algorithms

This paper discusses signal and image reconstruction in connection with undergraduate electrical engineering education. It briefly reviews some of the basic signal and image reconstruction techniques, and presents two Java applets that have been found useful in the context. The applets have easy‐to‐use, friendly interfaces, and can be used as tools to teach reconstruction techniques or as a laboratory to study the applicability of the methods to real world signals and images. The students can do simulations with their own data (signals or images) on any computer platform. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
