Summary: Good book on practical DSP programming
Comment: This book presents a lot of useful DSP algorithms. The programs I have tested so far seem to be doing the job. The mathematics discussed seems to be just right as well. (For in-depth discussion, Rick' "understanding digital signal processing" and Proakis' "digital signal processing, principles, algorithms and applications" are the best.)
However the data used by this book is not standard wave PCM or other commonly used format. Therefore, it is difficult to directly use the programs. To make matters worse, the original data and processed data are not in the same format, which waste my whole afternoon just to figure this out.
The book also spends one chapter (about 70 pages) discussing C++ concepts, which I believe should be completely removed. The algorithms written in C++ are less easy to use than its corresponding algorithms in C version.
All in all, this book presents practical implementations for DSP algorithms. If this book had not stuffed its contents with C++ concepts, and used a common data format, I would have ranked this book five star.

Summary: Don't buy this book
Comment: The title promises a lot. But it doesn't deliver. This book is muddled and confused. It begins with a rather high browed treatment of the maths behind DSP then goes on to attempt to provide examples in C++. The examples are poor and unclear. The supplied code compiles under VC++ but not under any other platform without substantial reworking.
Over 100 pages of this 500 page book are devoted to a general discussion of the C++ language. Why? If I wanted this type of material I would consult my C++ manual. Here are C++ programmers who want to tell us the do's and don't's of the language, that feel the need to test newed pointers for NULL after allocating and before deleting!
As far as the rest of the book is concerned I found the examples and text unclear, pedantic and frankly quite useless. I will keep my copy only because I want to use the theoretical material. But this material was written for maths graduates - pages upon pages of proofs and derivations that provide little insight into the underlying principles and serve nothing. Hold off and buy something more usable.

Summary: A Must for your DSP library set.
Comment: Lots of practical code examples. Practical filtering routines and example code.Includes a general introduction to C /C++ concepts frequently used in DSP algorithm development. A good introduction to image processing is included. The DSP function library and sample code is perhaps the best part of the book.
