Digital Image Processing and Analysis: Human and Computer Applications with CVIPtools, 2nd Edition [Book Reviews

Abstract

The author presents the book on digital image and analysis that has four sections and thirteen chapters, which is written at a junior-year or above level and used as a basis for advanced studies involving images. The first section deals with introduction and overview of digital image processes and analysis (Chapter 1), and computer imaging systems (Chapter 2). Section 2 contains digital image analysis and computer vision that includes chapters: 3 (introduction of digital image analysis); 4- image segmentation and line and edge analysis; 5- discrete transform (Fourier and other), and filtering; and 6- feature analysis and pattern classification. Section 3 covers digital image processing and human vision, and consists of chapters: 7- human vision and perception and heavily relates to the usefulness of image processing and the effects of noise reduction; 8- overview of image enhancement techniques; 9- image restoration; and 10- image compression with discussion of entropy and information. And section 4 deals with program and application development with CVIPtools (computer vision and image processing (CVIP)), and has the following chapters: 11- basic use of the CD software; 12- application development; and 13- libraries.
