Multidimensional Signal, Image and Video Processing and Coding [Book Reviews]

This new book covers the processing and coding of multidimensional signals, in particular, still images and video. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM and a companion Web site. The book is well designed and its material is timely. The only drawback is its lack of depth in covering color. The book would work with an introductory graduate course on still-image processing and compression or for an advanced graduate course on video processing and compression. The fact that the book takes a signal processing, rather than computer vision, viewpoint to image manipulation will make it a valuable resource for both researchers and students alike.
