Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This book deals with Image Processing and Image Analysis, which are rapidly evolving technologies in measurement of non-electrical data. The main reason for this is the relative cost-effectiveness of a system consisting of a camera and a PC equipped with Image Processing and Analysis Software. On the other hand, new technologies require new methods and algorithms. This book describes not only the basic methods of Image Processing and Analysis, but also key issues related to image generation and image distribution, which may effect the entire measuring process. National Instruments, the "Measurement Company", provides with LabVIEW and IMAQ Vision, tools for constructing these algorithms, which are a breakthrough in computer programming.


From the Back Cover

The definitive tutorial on desktop image processing with NI's IMAQ Vision

This book brings together everything you need to achieve superior results with PC-based image processing and analysis. Expert Thomas Klinger combines a highly accessible overview of the field's key concepts, tools, and techniques; the first expert introduction to NI's breakthrough IMAQ Vision software; and several start-to-finish application case studies. You also get an extensive library of code and image samples, as well as a complete trial version of IMAQ Vision for Windows®. Coverage includes:

  • Defining what to measure and how to measure it
  • Acquiring images: working with CCDs, cameras, frame grabber cards, and leading medical image sources, including ultrasound, CT, and MRI
  • Distributing images: compression techniques, image format standards, and DICOM medical imaging
  • Processing images: gray-scale operations, spatial image filtering, frequency filtering,
  • and morphology functions
  • Analyzing images: pixel value and quantitative analyses, shape and pattern matching, bar codes, and more

With 300+ figures and 50+ exercises-all listed up front for easy access-this is the definitive image processing tutorial for every professional.

The accompanying CD-ROM contains IMAQ Vision multimedia demonstration software, plus an evaluation version of NI's Vision Builder for Automated Inspection evaluation software for Windows 98/NT/Me/2000/XP. It also contains application examples, color images, and code examples-including several open source, platform-independent VIs.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just an overblown IMAQ User Manual, January 18, 2004
By A Customer
This book was pretty disappointing - all of the information in it is easily found for free in either the IMAQ user manual, or at the National Insutruments Developer Zone - www.zone.ni.com.

2.0 out of 5 stars Alas, the book was oversold.., June 26, 2003
:
The general feeling I had after reading the book was that of a disappointment. Overloaded with handbook information on image encoding, compression algorithms etc., the book lacked substance in vision algorithm applications. Expanded IMAQ manual it is, a good book on applications of IMAQ vision algorithms it is not.

Espessially disappointing was section on DICOM: whole 4 pages with 2 pages of illustration, promulgating third party software, with not much to offer.

The book describes what image analysis algorithms do to image; it does not give hints when we want to use/try what algorithm.
It appeared to me the author was more concerned with money making than with writing a decent text.

The book can be probably useful for the very beginners, as a substitution for poorly written IMAQ manual. Again, then they should not worry of a minor issue of $70 price tag..

5.0 out of 5 stars A very helpful guide, December 29, 2003
By K. A. Wagner (Vienna, Austria) - See all my reviews
As lawyers who advise technology companies we try to be familiar with the technology and products our clients use. We do not buy many technical books, but we wanted this one because of the legal implications in image processing. We found the book to be a very useful guide and to be written in language that, while not "simple," gave us a clear and succinct, practical view into and understanding of the technology and products.
