Book Description

ISBN-10: 1402076347 | ISBN-13: 978-1402076343 | Publication Date: November 30, 2003 | Edition: 1

Digital holography and digital image processing are twins born by computer era. They share origin, theoretical base, methods and algorithms. The present book describes these common fundamentals principles, methods and algorithms including image and hologram digitization, data compression, digital transforms and efficient computational algorithms, statistical and Monte-Carlo methods, image restoration and enhancement, image reconstruction in tomography and digital holography, discrete signal resampling and image geometrical transformations, accurate measurements and reliable target localization in images, recording and reconstruction of computer generated holograms, adaptive and nonlinear filters for sensor signal perfecting and image restoration and enhancement. The book combines theory, heavily illustrated practical methods and efficient computational algorithms and is written for senior-level undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and engineers in optics, photonics, opto-electronics and electronic engineering.

2.0 out of 5 stars Blunder of Kluwer Publishers, April 22, 2004

By 

Jacob (Houghton, MI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Digital Holography and Digital Image Processing:: Principles, Methods, Algorithms (Hardcover)

This book contains useful formulas and derivations which may not be in other books, but the English is awful. It also has some significant technical mistakes in some equations. I can't believe Kluwer published this. Quoting from page 7, "In real application, it very frequently happens . Very that noise randomly replaces signal values that in this case are completely lost. In such situation, in general, the model of impulse noise is used." If I were Kluwer, I'd do a product recall, edit the book and release it under a different title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mathematical theory of image processing, December 14, 2007

This review is from: Digital Holography and Digital Image Processing:: Principles, Methods, Algorithms (Hardcover)

Leaving aside Kluwer's editorial work, this is probably one of the most important books on image processing. This is the book that I find myself returning to again and again, collecting nrw insights at each time.

The author provides a rigorous mathematical formulation for the fundamental problems in image processing: quantization, object detection, restoration, etc.
Based on this formulation, efficient algorithms are derived and a their performance is mathematically analyzed.
Than a disscussion follows which sheds new light on other approaches and ties them together into one big picture. For example: wavelet shrinkage, wiener filters and PCA are tied together in the context of image enhancement.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be an image processing expert.

This review is from: Digital Holography and Digital Image Processing:: Principles, Methods, Algorithms (Paperback)

In my experiance, this book is informative and good in the area of computational Holograhpy image processing.
However, the copy of this book that I received from amazon is badly stupid because of its cheap copy and softcover,
even if it is very expansive ($178.49)
