Essential Guide to Image Processing

Bok av Alan C. Bovik
A complete introduction to the basic and intermediate concepts of image processing from the leading people in the fieldUp-to-date content, including statistical modeling of natural, anistropic diffusion, image quality and the latest developments in JPEG 2000 This comprehensive and state-of-the art approach to image processing gives engineers and students a thorough introduction, and includes full coverage of key applications: image watermarking, fingerprint recognition, face recognition and iris recognition and medical imaging. "e;This book combines basic image processing techniques with some of the most advanced procedures. Introductory chapters dedicated to general principles are presented alongside detailed application-orientated ones. As a result it is suitably adapted for different classes of readers, ranging from Master to PhD students and beyond."e; - Prof. Jean-Philippe Thiran, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland "e;Al Bovik's compendium proceeds systematically from fundamentals to today's research frontiers. Professor Bovik, himself a highly respected leader in the field, has invited an all-star team of contributors. Students, researchers, and practitioners of image processing alike should benefit from the Essential Guide."e; - Prof. Bernd Girod, Stanford University, USA "e;This book is informative, easy to read with plenty of examples, and allows great flexibility in tailoring a course on image processing or analysis."e; - Prof. Pamela Cosman, University of California, San Diego, USAA complete and modern introduction to the basic and intermediate concepts of image processing - edited and written by the leading people in the fieldAn essential reference for all types of engineers working on image processing applicationsUp-to-date content, including statistical modelling of natural, anisotropic diffusion, image quality and the latest developments in JPEG 2000
