About this title

Synopsis

Today, image processing has become a vital, cost-effective technology in a host of applications. This Second Edition covers these new developments in this dynamic field. Five sections explore the characterization of continuous images, image sampling and quantization techniques along with the mathematical representation of discrete images, two-dimensional signal processing techniques, image enhancement and restoration techniques and image analysis.

From the Back Cover

A newly updated and revised edition of the classic introduction to digital image processing

The Third Edition of Digital Image Processing provides a complete introduction to the field and includes new information that updates the state of the art.

It offers coverage of new topics and includes interactive computer display imaging examples and computer programming exercises that illustrate the theoretical content of the book.
