This book is a wonderful read about image processing. Having read most of the 1st edition (yes I'm reading all of the 3rd), I can say that this 3rd edition is larger (yet not insurmountable) with more examples, explanations, mathematical development and new material. I'm currently in the chapter about frequency domain processing and must say that the previous chapter about spatial domain processing is more robust, even now including a good introduction to fuzzy logic. Anyhow, with a good background in applied math and Matlab programming, this material is easy reading for me, but should also be accessible enough for anyone with a general technical background.

This is a very good book on Image Processing that gives a lot of examples as it explains a new concept. Highly recommended if you are going to learn image processing from scratch or just want to use it as a reference. However, I do NOT recommend the other version of this book that deals with MATLAB.

Very good and comprehensive text, which could be improved with more concrete examples, algorithm pseudo-code and more extensive treatment of processing colour images. Otherwise, this book is a good introduction to image processing.

I chose standard shipping, and it took nearly the entire 14 business days to arrive, but the real problem was the condition when it arrived. The product was advertised as hardcover but was actually paperback. The spine is dented and deformed in several places, and most of the pages had a small tear along the right hand side. Worst of all, the cover is almost completely unglued and coming off the spine.

Also, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but be aware that this is an Indian reprint, not the American edition. As near as I can tell the content is the same, but it may affect where you can resell it when you're done.

This was one of my first experiences buying books online. While I saved about $30 compared to buying it used at my campus bookstore, it'll end up costing me in the long run because I doubt anyplace will want to buy the book due to its condition.

If you read this book, you will not need to take a course on this subject. Well written, easy to understand, a delight to read, even if you no nothing about image processing.

I took image processing in 2002 and this book was dated then. I opened it only to do homework. Otherwise I got my info elsewhere or from my notes. I used Anil K Jain's "Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing" as an alternate text and it rocked. There was far too much text and far too little pictures, equations and examples to make this a good image processing text. I didn't find their presentations algorithmic in the least. I would have hated to try to use this as a guide to programming my image processing algorithms from.

The book is protected very well and the delivety time is short. I like that.
