Practical Algorithms for Image Analysis Description, Examples, Programs, and Projects

"New to the second edition of this well-designed textbook and reference are sections on Gabor filtering, thresholding by connectivity, and a chapter describing all the programs. The book's focus is on hands-on applications and includes a separate chapter of projects, many of them new to this edition, applying the processes described. The sections are grouped by operation and provide clear instruction on the procedure, with before and after images, keywords, specific applications, and related procedures. The various programs used for a procedure, such as global, gray-scale, or binary image analysis are each discussed in separate section, with programs provided accordingly. The CD-ROM contains C programs used in the procedures and executable with a graphic interface for Windows and Linux. Of the three authors, O'Gorman and Michael J. Sammon were both with Bell Laboratories and are now with Avaya Labs: Michael Seul, formerly of AT&T Bell Laboratories, is the founder of BioArray Solutions." --Book News
