About this title

Synopsis

For courses in Image Processing and Computer Vision.

For years, Image Processing has been the foundational text for the study of digital image processing. The book is suited for students at the college senior and first-year graduate level with prior background in mathematical analysis, vectors, matrices, probability, statistics, linear systems, and computer programming. As in all earlier editions, the focus of this edition of the book is on fundamentals.

The 4th Edition is based on an extensive survey of faculty, students, and independent readers in 5 institutions from 3 countries. Their feedback led to epanded or new coverage of topics such as deep learning and deep neural networks, including convolutional neural nets, the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT), maimally-stable etremal regions (MSERs), graph cuts, k-means clustering and superpiels, active contours (snakes and level sets), and eact histogram matching. Major improvements were made in reorganising the material on image transforms into a more cohesive presentation, and in the discussion of spatial kernels and spatial filtering.

From the Back Cover

Digital Image Processing has been the leading textbook in its field for more than 20 years. As was the case with the 1977 and 1987 editions by Gonzalez and Wintz, and the 1992 edition by Gonzalez and Woods, the present edition was prepared with students and instructors in mind. 771e material is timely, highly readable, and illustrated with numerous examples of practical significance. All mainstream areas of image processing are covered, including a totally revised introduction and discussion of image fundamentals, image enhancement in the spatial and frequency domains, restoration, color image processing, wavelets, image compression, morphology, segmentation, and image description. Coverage concludes with a discussion of the fundamentals of object recognition.

Although the book is completely self-contained, a Companion Website (see inside front cover) provides additional support in the form of review material, answers to selected problems, laboratory project suggestions. and a score of other features. A supplementary instructor's manual is available to instructors who have adopted the book for classroom use.

New Features

• New chapters on wavelets, image morphology, and color image processing.
• More than 500 new images and over 200 new line drawings and tables.
• A revision and update of all chapters, including topics such as segmentation by watersheds.
• Numerous new examples with processed images of higher resolution.
• A reorganization that allows the reader to get to the material on actual image processing much sooner than before.
• Updated image compression standards and a new section on compression using wavelets.
• A more intuitive development of traditional topics such as image transforms and image restoration.
• Updated bibliography.
