Fire, Water, and Signal Processing: Researchers are turning to signal processing to help them address challenges posed by two of the planet’s fundamental forces Special Reports

摘要

Fire and water, two of nature’s basic forces, are each capable of sustaining or destroying life and property. Research projects in California and Hawaii are, respectively, helping displaced families cope with devasting wildfires, and investigating a way to increase water supply availability on isolated islands. Both projects are relying on signal processing to help them meet their goals.
