I spent a few more weeks on this book recently with a bit more emphasis on the programming side. I find the programming part of this book is quite readable and it gives me much insight into the image processing topic. I hereby raise my rate to four stars.

>>Original review in Oct.2009
I borrowed this book from the university library mainly because it provided with Matlab examples. This book turned out to be somewhat disappointing:

pros:
1. example Matlab codes, provided in context
2. that is all

cons:
Editing is a nightmare. I don't know why the authors can't spend some more hours proofreading the pre-print they have already spent hundreds of times more hours on.
1. Typos and mistakes are literally on every page.
2. Lots of illustrations other than figures generated by Matlab look like being drawn using paint.exe in Windows. Imagine the quality.
3. Equations are edited in a weird improportionate fashion that the symbols are ugly. Dear lord please use Tex while editing equations. I bet even the equation editor integrated with M$ office 2007 can do better than this.


I think it is only worth 1 star at most, as a science and technology book. Since my first intention of borrowing this book is the matlab code, so 2 stars.
