This volume develops the theory of multidimensional signal processing where input and output are either scalar or  vector-valued signals. Vector-valued signals are specifically used to model color images. The approach is largely based on lattices. Non-rectangular sampling is very widespread; for example, virtually every camera and display device incorporates non-rectanglular sampling. Thus, the book considers signals sampled on lattices from the outset, with rectangular sampling as a special case. Lattices are also used to describe signal periodicity, which is key to fast Fourier transform algorithms. While most treatments use normalized basis-dependent representations for non-rectangular sampling, this approach obscures much of the geometrical and scale information of the signal. In contrast, this book uses actual units of space-time and frequency. Basis-independent representations are used as much as possible, and the basis is introduced where needed to perform calculations or implementations. Basic features of the book include:

• an entire chapter on lattices, giving the reader a thorough grounding in the use of lattices in signal processing;
• extensive treatment of lattices as used to describe discrete-domain signals and signal periodicities;
• separate treatment of continuous-domain signals, discrete-domain signals and both continuous-domain and discrete-domain periodic signals;
• chapters on the vector-space representation of color, and processing of vector-valued color signals;
• chapters on sampling and reconstruction, random field models, and symmetry invariant signals;
• supplemented throughout with MATLAB examples and accompanying downloadable source code.
• MATLAB code for the examples and figures in the book are available on the Companion Web Site found at http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~edubois/mdsp/. On this web site, there is also a solutions manual for all the problems included in the book.
