For those of you looking to enter the wild and wacky world of image processing, this book is all you need! It starts at a very basic and understandable level and leads you gently into an the area of computer imaging and image processing by matrix manipulation. Although this book is written, as its title suggests, for C programming, it gives a good basis for image processing in any language. The code examples are extremely useful if you are using C but you will soon find yourself confident enough to write your own. This is a definite must for all you budding image processors. Enjoy!

This is a beginners book for grey and bi-level image processing. This book is kept in a simple language, and is mathematically not too demanding either. However, it covers a lot of printed source code which is not supplied on a cd or floppy.

Most mathematical equations are given in blocks of C-code, so that the reader first has to figure out what the relevant mathematical equation might be. This book demands only some basic understanding of C, and as the author righly says (p.124): "Although the philosophy in this book is to present code that is as clear and simple as possible, rather than presenting the niftiest algorithms and most highly optimized coding technique, it should be pointed out that there are faster ways to scan through all of the pixels of an image".
