Book Description

February 4, 2000 0471377392 978-0471377399 1
A unique collection of algorithms and lab experiments for practitioners and researchers of digital image processing technology

With the field of digital image processing rapidly expanding, there is a growing need for a book that would go beyond theory and techniques to address the underlying algorithms. Digital Image Processing Algorithms and Applications fills the gap in the field, providing scientists and engineers with a complete library of algorithms for digital image processing, coding, and analysis. Digital image transform algorithms, edge detection algorithms, and image segmentation algorithms are carefully gleaned from the literature for compatibility and a track record of acceptance in the scientific community.

The author guides readers through all facets of the technology, supplementing the discussion with detailed lab exercises in EIKONA, his own digital image processing software, as well as useful PDF transparencies. He covers in depth filtering and enhancement, transforms, compression, edge detection, region segmentation, and shape analysis, explaining at every step the relevant theory, algorithm structure, and its use for problem solving in various applications. The availability of the lab exercises and the source code (all algorithms are presented in C-code) over the Internet makes the book an invaluable self-study guide. It also lets interested readers develop digital image processing applications on ordinary desktop computers as well as on Unix machines.

3.0 out of 5 stars a decent book, August 12, 2004
This review is from: Digital Image Processing Algorithms and Applications (Hardcover)
This book gives a good summary of theory as well as algorithm (in C code written to illustrate the algorithm rather than optimal performance). If you are looking for a high-level book that throughly explains theory then this is not the one. If you want theory and some example code then this is a good buy. The bibliography at the end of each chapter gives great pointers of where to go for more detailed theory. I would recommend this to students in image processing or professionals who have to acquire image processing skills.

My only major complaint is the low quality example pictures. They are small and all in black and white. Otherwise I would have given this book 4 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars covers a lot, sometimes awkwardly, October 22, 2005

Edward R. Oswalt (Middletown, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Digital Image Processing Algorithms and Applications (Hardcover)
Many topics in image enhancement, analysis, compression and description. The algorithms are usually 1 page or less of C code.

I'd prefer more intuitive descriptions of the ideas. The formulas and computer code are usually harder to read than for the reader to come up with himself, if the basic idea is expressed well in English.

Could be smoother presentation. For example, in histogram equalization, Pitas brings up pdf's then says the histogram is an approximation to the pdf. But there really is nothing to be gained intuitively or otherwise by bringing the pdf into the discussion at all -- we're really just equalizing the histogram.
