Testimonials
Cameron Pickersgill, B.App.Sc.(2017-2021), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Canada [5 November 2021]:
The eBook was written to enable the properties of audio, image, and video signals and their processing techniques in multimedia signal processing easy to understand. More mathematical topics like discrete transforms and digital filters are explained in detail using step-by-step calculation examples. MATLAB scripts for examples and worked problems presented are helpful to gain skills utilizing computers to solve complex problems and develop a deeper understanding of multimedia systems and their vast range of applications. This eBook and its accompanying worked problems eBook are essential to be successful in the ELEC 4390 Multimedia Systems course and are highly recommended to anyone taking this course or studying multimedia signal processing.

The Multimedia Signal Processing and Applications eBook and its accompanying MATLAB and Worked Problems eBook were very well written and easily understandable. The author did an excellent job at providing detailed examples and problems in both eBooks that corresponded to the written material. The chapters in the books were very easy to follow and well organized. The MATLAB and Worked Problems eBook was extremely valuable for preparing for upcoming examinations. Overall, both eBooks gave me and the students a well-rounded understanding of the subject.
Zeng Li, M.App.Sc.(2020-2022), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Canada [2 September 2020]:
The main eBook and its accompanying eBook cover 1-dimensional and multidimensional multimedia signal processing. The eBooks are clearly written on various aspects of audio, image, and video processing to facilitate readers to know exactly what each topic is about. Learning with its MATLAB and Worked Problems eBook deepens my understanding on various chapters. Even after exams are over, these two eBooks remain as my essential resources on the fundamentals and techniques of multimedia signal processing useful for applications and research. Together, these two eBooks represent the best choice for those readers and students who want to learn the subject of multimedia signal processing.
Brad Sato, B.App.Sc.(2015-2019), M.Eng.(2019-2021), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Canada [31 August 2020]:
The Multimedia Signal Processing and Applications and its supplemental MATLAB and Worked Problems eBooks offer excellent resources for learning the subject. All the contents are explained thoroughly, and the given examples made understanding of complex topics a lot easier. The MATLAB book is especially helpful as it provides a hands-on approach to learn and software-implement multimedia signal processing algorithms.
Fadi Shaya, B.App.Sc.(2016-2020), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Canada [29 August 2020]:
The Multimedia Signal Processing and Applications eBook and its accompanying MATLAB and Worked Problems eBook were well written by the author. The way the two eBooks were written is nice and simple, and the contents are clearly explained. The MATLAB and Worked Problems eBook is a great addition that enables students to solve and understand different types of problems.
Sahereh Sahandabadi, M.App.Sc.(2020-2022), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Canada [28 August 2020]:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the author for the useful contents of his eBooks. In particular, I was very pleased with the level of details written to explain the multimedia fundamentals. A reader can find everything needed about human auditory and visual perceptions, discrete transforms and digital filtering, and audio, image, and video compression principles. This eBook also has a MATLAB and Worked Problem eBook which helps readers to understand the ideas and concepts in more depth. If you are a student taking a multimedia signal processing course, these two eBooks will help you learn the subject and do well in the course. If you are a reader, you will be surprised by the way these two eBooks take you from understanding simple facts towards more complicated ideas without even noticing. These two eBooks are priced reasonably which makes them very affordable compared to hard copy books. In fact, it is much easier to search the information or section you are looking for in electronic books.
