"In today's society, signal processing serves as the core component for many ubiquitous technologies essential to our everyday lives, including smartphones, digital cameras, wearable devices, IMAX 3D movies, and HD TVs. The authors present a wonderfully informative investigation into the theory and methods underlying such technologies, particularly in acoustic signal processing, image processing, signal processing in communications, and various other vital signal processing topics. Despite the rapidly changing nature of signal processing, the authors present the perfect, expert guide for undergraduate and graduates students, researchers, and practitioners to understand and develop the next generation of crucial emerging signal processing technologies."—Marek Trawicki, Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA"… covers some of the most significant recent advances in signal processing, including methods and applications. Chapters are written in a tutorial style and are ideal both for researchers of the field or close fields who want to get a deeper insight into the covered materials and for early-stage researchers who need to obtain a global overview of signal processing problems to define their own interests."—Jerónimo Arenas-García, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain"… aids the reader in getting acquainted with many subjects of high interest in a fast and convenient manner. Written by experts in the covered fields, the book is a very valuable addition to the literature."—Paulo S. R. Diniz, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
