Synopsis

Handbook of Image Processing Operators Reinhard Klette Berlin Technical University, Germany Piero Zamperoni Braunschweig Technical University, Germany The practical applications of digital image processing have expanded significantly in recent years. Interest is increasing over a wide range of disciplines, from computer vision to biomedical imaging and mechanical inspection. An invaluable reference source for all who work in image processing, this text describes the complete range of standard image processing operators and transformations. Coverage spans the fundamentals of image processing, introducing the basic terminology, describing the general control structures and illustrating a range of algorithmical procedures. The major strength of this book lies in its practical approach, offering the user operative solutions to a broad range of specific application problems in image analysis, image enhancement and feature extraction. To this end it serves as a reference to select the most suitable operators for any given problem. After the introductory chapters, each operator is presented in the same form: characterization, mathematical definition, comments and algorithmic aspects, pseudo-program, and bibliographic references. An indispensable guide for computer applications engineers at a professional, academic or research level in communications, natural sciences, medicine, and robotics who have to solve field-specific application problems using advanced digital image processing techniques. The source codes for all the operators described in the text are available on disk for UNIX and MS-DOS systems, see inside for details.

About this title

From the Publisher

Covering the fundamentals of digital image processing, this timely book introduces basic terminology, describes general control structures and illustrates a range of algorithmical procedures. A majority of the text is devoted to standard image processing operators and transformations. The authors take a practical approach, offering the user operative solutions to a wide range of processing problems. The source code for the programs described in the text will be available on a disk for UNIX and MS-DOS systems. This book is a translation of the work entitled Handbuch der Operatoren fur die Bildearbeitung published originally in German by Verlag Vieweg in 1994.
