The Handbook of Signal Processing in Acoustics brings together a wide range of perspectives from over 100 authors to reveal the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. It brings the key issues from both acoustics and signal processing into perspective and is a unique resource for experts and practitioners alike to find new ideas and techniques within the diversity of signal processing in acoustics.

Acoustics has a special relationship with signal processing. Many
concepts in signal processing arise naturally from our general
experience with sound and vibration and, more than in many
other fields, acoustics is concerned with the acquisition, analysis,
and synthesis of signals. Consequently, there is a rich resource
of signal processing expertise within the acoustics community.
There are many excellent reference books devoted to signal
processing but the objective of the Handbook of Signal Processing
in Acoustics is to bring together the signal processing expertise
specific to acoustics and to capture the interdisciplinary nature
of signal processing within acoustics. It is also hoped that the
handbook will promote networking and the interchange of ideas
between technical areas in acoustics.
The handbook comprises 104 Chapters organized into 17 Parts.
Each Part addresses a technical area of acoustics, reflecting
the general demarcations of specialization within the acoustics
community. An expert with broad knowledge of signal processing
within their respective technical area was invited to act as a
Section Leader for each Part of the handbook. These Section
Leaders contributed substantially to the handbook project by
helping to define the contents and scope of each chapter, finding
an appropriate contributing expert author, and managing the
review and revision of material. Collectively with the Editors,
they form the Editorial Board for the handbook.
Planned sections on Architectural Acoustics, Nonlinear
Acoustics, and Ultrasound are unfortunately omitted from
the handbook; nevertheless, the handbook otherwise provides
thorough coverage of the field of acoustics and we can hope that
possible future editions might include these areas.
The handbook is written from the perspective of acoustics, by
acousticians with signal processing expertise. Emphasis is placed in the description of acoustic problems and the signal processing
related to their solutions. The reader is assumed to have basic
knowledge of signal processing. Signal processing techniques are
described but the reader is referred elsewhere for derivations and
details.
The authors were not required to adhere to strict standards
of style or notation, and were asked to prepare short, concise,
self-sufficient chapters. This results in variations in style and
notation throughout the handbook that reflects the diversity of
perspectives within the acoustics community
