The book is comprised of expanded papers from the third biennial DSPinCARS held in Istanbul in June 2007. Topics covered in this book spans a broad coverage of the fields in DSP for Mobile and Vehicular Systems, namely, safety, data collection, driver modeling, telecommunication applications, noise reduction and speech recognition for in-vehicle systems. This book is appropriate for researchers, engineers, and professionals working in signal processing technologies, next generation vehicle design, and networks for mobile platforms as well as officials of public and private institutions involved in developing national and international standards, making decisions on new technology acquistions and the deployment of those standards and systems in real-world scenarios.

The book is focused on a broad coverage of the fields in DSP for Mobile and Vehicular Systems, namely, Driver and Driving Environment Recognition, Telecommunication Applications, Noise Reduction and Dialog Systems for In-Vehicle systems, and finally challenges for International Standards. The book is organized in four groups of chapters. First group of chapters are concentrated on Driver and Driving Environment reporting on the application of signal processing technologies to characterizing human behavior while driving and encouraging further research efforts on the analysis of driver behavior. The next group is dedicated to the most important application in Mobile and Vehicular Systems, (i.e., Telecommunication Applications). This part considers technologies for wireless communication systems, a distributed speech recognition paradigm, and embedded platforms. The third and largest number of works addresses a major challenge for Mobile and Vehicular Systems, namely Noise Reduction, which has ever-changing environmental noise that seriously degrades performance of these systems. Fourth group of chapters are dealing with challenges for International Standards and Dialog Systems for In-Vehicle, is an essential issue for not only interface efficiency, but also for safety and comfort while driving.

The book is focused on digital signal processing strategies for improving information access, command and control, and communications for in-vehicle environments. It is expected that the next generation of human-to-vehicle interfaces will incorporate speech, video/image, and wireless communication modalities to provide more comfortable and safer driving ambiance. The format of this work centers on three themes: in-vehicle corpora, speech recognition/dialog systems with emphasis on car environments, and digital signal processing for mobile platforms involving noise suppression, image/video processing, and alternative communication scenarios that can be employed for in-vehicle applications. DSP for In-Vehicle and Mobile Systems is appropriate for researchers and professionals working in signal processing technologies, next generation vehicle design and networked-communications.
