Product Description

Book Description

A cookbook of the hottest new algorithms and cutting-edge techniques in image processing and computer vision

This amazing book/CD package puts the power of all the hottest new image processing techniques and algorithms in your hands. Based on J. R. Parker's exhaustive survey of Internet newsgroups worldwide, Algorithms for Image Processing and Computer Vision answers the most frequently asked questions with practical solutions.

Parker uses dozens of real-life examples taken from fields such as robotics, space exploration, forensic analysis, cartography, and medical diagnostics, to clearly describe the latest techniques for morphing, advanced edge detection, wavelets, texture classification, image restoration, symbol recognition, and genetic algorithms, to name just a few. And, best of all, he implements each method covered in C and provides all the source code on the CD.

For the first time, you're rescued from the hours of mind-numbing mathematical calculations it would ordinarily take to program these state-of-the-art image processing capabilities into software. At last, nonmathematicians get all the shortcuts they need for sophisticated image recognition and processing applications.

On the CD-ROM you'll find:
* Complete code for examples in the book
* A gallery of images illustrating the results of advanced techniques
* A free GNU compiler that lets you run source code on any platform
* A system for restoring damaged or blurred images
* A genetic algorithms package

From the Publisher

Programmers and software engineers are always in need of newer techniques and algorithms to manipulate and interpret images, whether they are working with MRI data, computer animation or satellite images. During the last several years, advances in the computer hardware and software have lead to algorithms and programming languages that allow for relatively sophisticated image processing among non-mathematicians. This book is an accessible cookbook of algorithms for some of today's most wanted image processing applications including morphing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Symbol Recognition, that will save graphics programmers from many hours of lengthy mathematical solutions. Includes CD-ROM with... * Complete code for examples in the book * A gallery of images illustrating the results of advanced techniques * Free GNU C compiler-- allows readers to run source code regardless of platform.

First Sentence
Edge detection is one of the most commonly used operations in image analysis, and there are probably more algorithms in the literature for enhancing and detecting edges than for any other single subject. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars I like this book, April 19 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Algorithms for Image Processing and Computer Vision (Paperback)
It has source C code available, which I found is very helpful. It would be better if its code is written in C++.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Scope, Dec 9 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Algorithms for Image Processing and Computer Vision (Paperback)
This book is very helpfull. Not only for image processing. An unsuspected use that I do to this book was use an algorithm for correct blurred images to revert effect of movil mean that produce a strain gage when one sense an compresion wave traveling throw an iron bar, and work very well. This book has an "honor place" in my library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent cook book of advanced IP techniques, Mar 22 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Algorithms for Image Processing and Computer Vision (Paperback)
At its best, this book is a wonderful cookbook of image processing techniques. For example the author's presentation of the Canny and Shen-Castan methods of edge detection is clear and detailed. Full C source is provided for this and all the other techniques discussed in the book. The book does not pretend to be a basic introduction to image processing -- if you do not have Castleman or Pratt or something similar on your bookshelf, you probably should not start by acquiring this book. A possible source of irritation for some readers will be the variation in depth of coverage of topics. For example, when the author discusses wavelets, the coverage is very scant and qualitative. It is well done, but quite different in kind from the aforementioned coverage of advanced edge detection techniques. Similarly, the author will cover specific aspects of image processing, such as motion blur for an image, in the context of a rather general discussion of image restoration. In short, the book seems to reflect the author's interests more than attempting to be an objective coverage of the current state of the art in image processing. Nonetheless, the high quality of the information that the author provides and the bibliography to further coverage of the given topics are well worth the price of the book. You just need to approach it on the author's terms rather than on a preconceived notion of what you should get out of the book.
