[SciPy-Dev] Proposal for Scikit-Signal - a SciPy toolbox for signal processing

[Jaidev Deshpande]

Hi

I gave a talk at SciPy India 2011 about a Python implementation of the
Hilbert-Huang Transform that I was working on. The HHT is a method
used as an alternative to Fourier and Wavelet analyses of nonlinear
and nonstationary data. Following the talk Gael Varoquaux said that
there's room for a separate scikit for signal processing. He also gave
a lightning talk about bootstrapping a SciPy community project soon
after.

So with this list let us start working out what the project should be like.

For noobs like me, Gael's talk was quite a useful guide. Here's the
link to a gist he made about it - https://gist.github.com/1433151

Here's the link to my SciPy talk:

I personally am researching nonlinear and nonstationary signal
processing, I'd love to know what others can bring to this project.
Also, let's talk about the limitations of the current signal
processing tools available in SciPy and other scikits. I think there's
a lot of documentation to be worked out, and there is also a lack of
physically meaningful examples in the documentation.

Thanks

PS: I'm ccing a few people who might already be on the scipy-dev list.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
