Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing is an introductory text on the science of image processing. The stand-alone text employs the Matlab programming language to illustrate some of the elementary, key concepts in modern image processing and pattern recognition, drawing on specific examples from within science, medicine, and electronics. Here, authors Chris Solomon and Stuart Gibson provide a comprehensive introduction to some of the key concepts and techniques of modern image processing and offer a framework within which these concepts can be understood by a series of well-chosen examples, exercises and computer experiments.…mehr
