Books on Wavelets And Subband Coding?

Posted by Cliff on from the reading-material-for-esoteric-concepts dept.

Ktulu asks: "I'm looking for good books about wavelets applied to signal processing. I found one, 'Wavelets And Subband Coding' by M. Vetterli and J. Kovacevic (Prentice Hall) but it got quite bad reviews on Amazon. Are there good introductory and technical books you would recommend, covering wavelets, discrete wavelet tranforms and subband coding? Thanks."

    "A wavelet tour of signal processing" by Stephane Mallat is good, though heavy on the math...

    1. MATLAB toolbox manuals can be downloaded free from the mathworks site.
    2. Don't trust Amazon reviews. Most have an axe to grind.

    . . But if you go to Springer-Verlag's Website and search on "wavelet" in the title, it comes up with a buttload of results, including this one which looks right up your alley. And the best part is that Springer has a sale on until the end of the year, so some of the books can be had more cheaply (well, really, less expensively). And Springer books usually Don't Suck.

    Also, I'd second ignoring Amazon reviews of technical books -- in general Amazon isn't the right forum to seek advice about technical books. Poplular fiction maybe, but not specialized texts.
