Review
From the reviews:

"This book focuses on embedded image processing a ] . Overall, the book is well written and succeeds in filling a big void in image processing literature, tackling how to efficiently implement signal and image processing algorithms using embedded processors. There is no better way to learn than by example, and the book offers plenty of them. The book and the accompanying source code in the CD-ROM should be valuable resources to all signal processing practitioners who want to embark on embedded DSP programming." (Konstantinos Konstantinides, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, May, 2007)

Product Description
Embedded Image Processing on the TMS320C6000™ DSP: Examples in Code Composer Studio™ and MATLAB focuses on efficient implementations of advanced image processing algorithms for resource-constrained embedded DSP systems. Featuring the popular Texas Instruments TMS320C6000TM line of Digital Signal Processors, it utilizes a proven methodology of beginning with a high-level algorithmic point-of-view, proceeding to develop prototype code in MATLAB and Visual Studio, and concluding with an efficient implementation suitable for deployment on an embedded DSP system. Aside from image processing, the author also explains the uses and rationale behind a plethora of technologies, most notably several industry-standard and essential TI developer technologies, including the Code Composer Studio™ IDE. Highlights include numerous debugged MATLAB and C/C++ Visual Studio prototype applications and efficient C implementations of real-world algorithms tested on both the C6416 DSK and C6701 EVM development platforms. Packaged with the book is a CD-ROM which includes the source code, tested and debugged using the latest versions of developer tools, as well as sample image data. The CD-ROM contains a number of projects, spanning a diverse range of image processing applications such as, spatial processing techniques, image filtering, edge detection and segmentation schemes, and wavelet-based algorithms, among others. Embedded Image Processing on the TMS320C6000™ DSP: Examples in Code Composer Studio™ and MATLAB is an essential book for professional signal & image processing engineers working with TI DSPs where real-time constraints are present and performance is at a premium. Imaging software developers and DSP users will also find this book applicable, as it covers a variety of image and signal processing building blocks that appear in a diverse set of real-world applications, including medical imaging, satellite imaging, digital photography, and pattern recognition, to name a few. It may also serve as a reference work for advanced image processing, computer vision, and DSP students working in labs that use TI development kits or MATLAB.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well laid out introduction to embedded image processing, August 12, 2005

By	Kyle R. Breton - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Embedded Image Processing on the TMS320C6000 DSP: Examples in Code Composer Studio and MATLAB (Hardcover)

This is an extremely well laid out and understandable text. The coding examples are easy to understand and can be easily demonstrated on the TI DSK's. As a current TI employee with little experience with the C6x line of DSP's, Qureshi's book allowed me to learn a large amount of image processing background in a short time while becoming familiar with the workings of Code Composer Studio and the DSP. The book starts very simply and has clear instructions on how to obtain the tools to run all of the code samples on real DSPs.

Starting with an overview of the tools involved and the C6x architecture, Qureshi moves into simple image processing concepts, such as contrast stretching and window/level processing. After clearly explaining the concept and the implementation, the reader is led through the process of optimizing the code for the DSP environment. Later topics, such as edge detection and wavelets leave the reader with a clear understanding of the fundamentals of image processing, as well as code examples that make implementation a breeze.

Overall, an excellently written book and a must for anyone interested in image processing, whether on TI DSPs or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Images and more..., October 27, 2005

By	Michael E. Kreeger (Redmond, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Embedded Image Processing on the TMS320C6000 DSP: Examples in Code Composer Studio and MATLAB (Hardcover)

There are many great examples of basic image processing techniques in this book. Topics like Image Filtering, Edge Detection and also some Wavelets. There is both theory and detailed examples which really helps when trying to get the DSP in a symbiotic relationship with Matlab, CodeComposer Studio and MS Visual Studio.

There is a logical flow in how information is presented. First a basic description of the algorithm. Second some Matlab or pseudo-code. Then third he describes exactly how to implement it on the c6x dsp. Not only are there implementation details but also interfacing explanation for both Matlab and Visual Studio.

Overall this is an excellent book for getting a project up and running in a timely fashion.
