This textbook is the third of three volumes which provide a modern, algorithmic introduction to digital image processing, designed to be used both by learners desiring a firm foundation on which to build, and practitioners in search of critical analysis and concrete implementations of the most important techniques. This volume builds upon the introductory material presented in the first two volumes with additional key concepts and methods in image processing. Features: practical examples and carefully constructed chapter-ending exercises; real implementations, concise mathematical notation, and precise algorithmic descriptions designed for programmers and practitioners; easily adaptable Java code and completely worked-out examples for easy inclusion in existing applications; uses ImageJ; provides a supplementary website with the complete Java source code, test images, and corrections; additional presentation tools for instructors including a complete set of figures, tables, and mathematical elements.
From the reviews:
"This text is the second of three volumes by Burger and Burge to provide an algorithmic introduction to digital image processing. ... This textbook is for academicians who want a mathematical or theoretical foundation that underlies the methods used, as well as for engineers who are interested in practical implementations of the most important algorithms. The volume is a very nice extension to the material and a worthwhile read." (Minette Carl, ACM Computing Reviews, August, 2009)
"This is the second textbook from authors three-book series for graduate and post-graduate courses covering digital image processing techniques; earlier the material appeared in one comprehensive volume Digital Image Processing: An Algorithmic Introduction using Java. This volume covers regions in binary images, curve and corner detecting, color spaces and quantization, transformations ... and comparing/matching of images. The presentation is very algorithmic and expects hands-on experimentation with presented notions and algorithms, every chapter ends with exercises ... ."
