Hi All I have a BEng in Electrical and a solid background in C++. I am very familiar with DSP theory from self-study only. I have familiarity good with MATLAB. Recently I bought Embedded Image Processing on the TMS320C6000=99 DSP. Soon I plan to buy the C6416 DSK development platform to practice the exercises involving MATLAB, Code Composer Studio, and C. The topics covered are advanced like Pattern Recognition, Adaptive Processing, Wavelets. The reason why I am doing all this is to enter the image processing industry. For those of you who are experts in the field. In your opinion is my thinking and approach correct for entering the field by teaching myself skills? Thanks in advance for your answers. RGB
Can the Image Processing Industry Be Entered Without A Specialized Degree?

Instead, aim for a job using those EE or C++ skills to make hardware or software that implement the algorithms. If you can really do the algorithm work doors will open for you eventually. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com Posting from Google?

I was not addressing you, Tim Wescott, but rather Space1999. But then you all probably figured that out. But then, I knew that you all figured this out and didn't have to post this. So why am I posting this? Why am I here? What's the meaning of life? Do negative frequencies really exist? -- % Randy Yates % "How's life on earth? %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % ...

You posted because you have too much time on your hands. You're here because you like the company. So life has a meaning? Why do you think so, Eliza? Negative frequencies are in the eye of the beholder. What happens when your eyes are shut?

The existence of negative attitudes about negative frequencies is a given. :-) Steve
