Overview:

SIVA - The Signal, Image and Video Audiovisual Demonstration Gallery is a collection of didactic tools that facilitate a gentle introduction to the fascinating concepts in signal and image processing. Equipped with informative visualizations and a user-friendly interface, SIVA uses novel LabVIEW and MATLAB based demonstrations to illustrate the power and beauty of signal and image processing algorithms. Most demos use audio and image signals to give students a flavor of real-world applications of signal and image processing.

Publications:

The SIVA demonstration gallery is being used at 275+ academic, industrial and other sites around the world and has been published in the IEEE Transactions on Education:
