A good book, clear and easy to understand, and it is also easy to implement the algorithms mentioned in the book into a real world program. I used it as a text book in image processing class. Compared to other books in image processing, this book is a clear winner. The only drawback is the price. Other thing to remember is that this book is old enough in the ever-progressed image processing and computer graphic field.

A perfect image processing guide for beginners as well as advanced researchers. Very easy to read, and has nice examples. (It does not cover some very advanced image processing concepts.)

After 9 years as a researcher in image analysis and pattern recognition, I still refer to this book on a regular basis. It give straightforward explainations of a broad range of algorithms. If I ever forget how to do something, I know I can look here and be reminded.

This used to be the best textbook and reference source around, but even with the new edition it is dated, with poor coverage of things like video, wavelets and compression, and a terrible treatment of morphology. There's better books out there now, such as Tekalp's book on Video Processing and the Handbook of Image and Video Processing by Bovik etc. Still, pretty good treatment of the basic stuff.

The book contains so much math formulas in the beginning that you probably think that you have to go back to your math books. If you have to get this book for your class then basically you are in trouble like me unless you are an expert. The book is not also very interesting in reading. Authors do have technical knowledge but have no clue how to hold the readers. Unless you are wasting your life for Image Processing only then I recommend getting this book otherwise "Big No-No" for everyone else.
