Objectives

The understanding of physical phenomena coupled with the advancement of observation technologies, the needs of analysis, diagnosis and control of engineering systems make more and more use of experimental modeling. This modeling work is a prerequisite for the synthesis of control laws of dynamic systems or the analysis and processing of signals. The goal of this course is to provide advanced principles and methods of signal and system modeling. "System identification" aims to associate a mathematical model with a dynamic system on the basis of noisy data measured with sensors. The "sparse decomposition of signals" aims at a compact modeling of a signal via its decomposition in a dictionary.
