Kinematics¶

Dynamics¶

In the field of physics, the study of the causes of motion and changes in motion is dynamics. In other words the study of forces and why objects are in motion. Dynamics includes the study of the effect of torques on motion.

ImageProcessing¶

In electrical engineering and computer science, image processing is any form of signal processing for which the input is an image (source)

AudioProcessing¶

Audio signal processing, sometimes referred to as audio processing, is the intentional alteration of auditory signals, or sound. (source)

Stochastics¶

The use of the term stochastic to mean based on the theory of probability (source)
