Book Description

Image Processing Handbook covers methods for two different purposes:
  • improving the visual appearance of images to a human viewer
  • preparing images for measurement of the features and structures present
    The handbook presents an extensive collection of image processing tools, enabling the user of computer-based system to understand those methods provided in packaged software and to program additions needed for particular applications. Comparisons are presented of different algorithms that may be used for similar purposes, including a selection of representative pictures from light and electron microscopes as well as macroscopic, satellite, and astronomical images.

    Developments in graphic information, covering the array of concepts and techniques in high-end imaging software, are detailed. With balanced, complete descriptions, the text outlines frequency space methods with extensive mathematical presentation and spatial domain processing - requiring only a modest technical background in mathematics or computers.

    This handbook teaches by example: By seeing what various operations do to representative images, the reader will discover how and why to use them. Image Processing Handbook encourages the reader to use its information with a real source of images and a computer-based system as well as to freely experiment with different methods to determine the most appropriate for his or her particular needs.

    To facilitate the learning process, Reindeer Games in Charlotte, NC offers The Image Processing Tool Kit - a CD-ROM containing more than 150 images and more than 150 Photoshop®-compatible plug-ins that implement the algorithms discussed.

    This revision of the established standard acts as a singular resource for professionals in the medical, biological, and materials sciences as well as a range of engineering venues, including electrical and computer engineering, optical engineering, telecommunications, and artificial intelligence.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good user manual for image processing, Aug 3 2000
    By A Customer
    This review is from: The Image Processing Handbook, Third Edition (Hardcover)
    This book reads like a user manual for an engineering image processing toolkit. In fact, that is exactly what it is -- the author sells a companion CD that is a set of image processing plug-ins to PhotoShop. However, you will not need to buy his toolkit to find this book valuable. Any image processing package that you use will be of greater use to you if you have this book at your side. The important thing to realize is that this is a handbook for technical USERS. It is not a programming manual for how to implement the techniques it discusses, but a very high-quality discussion of what the techniques are and when and why you would use them. Within that domain, the book has remarkable depth and clarity. It is quite up-to-date in its coverage, and draws extensively from real-world applications in medicine, microscopy, and satellite imaging. If you need to develop image processing procedures in your work as an engineer, you will want to have this book by your side.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for anyone who does image processing, April 29 2011
    By 
    This review is from: The Image Processing Handbook, Sixth Edition (Hardcover)
    Previous editions of this textbook was the 'bible' for students and professionals involved in image processing. The newest edition is no exception - all of the old material remains, plus several new chapters have been added on analysis methods developed over the past few years. This text is by far the most comprehensive text on the subject area available, and is written in a fashion that can be understood by people without a significant mathematical background. The only negative is that the author does not discuss the topic of when some of the approaches are not appropriate to be used. This is a serious deficiency in the text, especially for those involved in imaging for scientific purposes, as many of the methods used alter images in a fashion which would be considered academic misconduct (i.e. improper manipulation) by most scientific journals. So while this text is an excellent resource, scientists must be very careful in applying some of the material covered to their work.
