“This book is the second volume in an extensive treatment of splines, spline wavelets, and their applications to signal and image processing. … The book provides a self-contained and extensive exposition of the fundamentals of both splines and wavelets transforms … . This book belongs on the shelf of every researcher in signal and image processing. … a valuable supplement for graduate level courses.” (James Stephan Walker, Mathematical Reviews, July, 2016)

“This excellent monograph provides a universal toolbox (with numerous MATLAB codes) for methods with polynomial resp. discrete splines and spline wavelets and corresponding applications in signal and image processing. … This book is well-written and contains many examples and figures. It is very convenient for broad readership of graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, computer science, physics, and engineering. Doubtless, this nice book will stimulate further applications of spline wavelet methods.” (Manfred Tasche, zbMATH 1338.65032, 2016)
