DSP or Digital Signal Processors are essentially computers in a rackmounting case with audio inputs and outputs. Audio signals are fed in, processed and then fed back out. Processing can include mixing functions or combining of audio signals, frequency spectrum equalisation, routing and control of volume levels. Before proceeding, it must be emphasized that compositions for acoustic instruments with digital signal processing are not new, for there are compositions for flute and realtime dsp from as early as 1952 (Penny 2009). Bruno Maderna Musica su due dimensioni (1952) for flute, percussion and electronic sounds is certainly one of the earliest examples.

Freescale Semiconductor Literature Distribution Modern coverage of the fundamentals, implementation and applications of digital signal processing techniques from a practical point of view. The past ten years has seen a significant growth in DSP applications throughout all areas of technology and this growth is expected well into the next millennium. This paper presents an intelligent vehicle counting method based on blob analysis in traffic surveillance. The proposed algorithm is composed of three steps: Processing is done by three main steps Har alle
