From the reviews: "This book is an edited series of chapters by different authors on recent work in signal processing. ... Each chapter concludes with its own comprehensive bibliography, so that the interested reader can dip into the book and then follow the references for more information on topics of particular interest. The book should be of interest to both practitioners and students interested in the current state of signal processing." (J. P. E. Hodgson, Computing Reviews, February, 2014)
