"... a real tour of the field of multimedia compression, for both 2D and 3D images. ... While the authors are aiming to target 'students' with their text, it is important to note that this term is meant generically to include anyone interested in the field, from an undergraduate to a graduate (or even a postgraduate), from someone in academia to a researcher in the field. This requires a delicate balance between the theoretical and the practical, from the introductory level to the advanced. Reading the text, the reader will see that the authors have been able to walk this delicate tightrope. They accomplish this by including summaries, questions for thought, meaningful illustrations, chapter bibliographies for further reading, and perhaps most importantly, the inclusion of actual MATLAB code for practical implementation. ... The authors should be congratulated for this comprehensive yet accessible text." -Minette Carl and Robert Goldberg, Queens College, Flushing, New York, USA, from Computing Reviews, August 7, 2015
