Product Description

Image processing, the use of computers to process pictures, has revolutionized the fields of medicine, space exploration, geology, and oceanography, and has become the hottest area in digital signal processing. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the most popular image processing techniques used today, without getting bogged down in the complex mathematical presentations found in most image processing books and journals. The book covers the hottes t topics in image proessing, including whole chapters on the processing of color images, image warping and morphing techniques, and image compression. The diskette, written in portable C code, provides a "hands-on" introduction to image processing techniques that can be incorporated into the user's applications. For computer programmers and electrical engineers who need to enhance image processing applications.


From the Publisher

This book explores concepts in image processing such as color, image enhancement, morphing, and image compression. Emphasis on how to implement algorithms (point, area, geometric, and frame processes) to produce desired results. Covers the issue of light and color.

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful basic book on IP code with some nice extras, September 7, 2000
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The title of this book is more self-effacing than it needs to be. This is quite a good book on basic image processing programming. The most attractive feature of its code is that the author has created C functions that do not require an elaborate and idiosyncratic interface to use (unlike, say, _Computer Vision and Image Processing: a practical approach using CVIPtools_ by Scott Umbaugh). This code can be easily included in your already-existing IP library code.

The choice of topics is mostly middle-of-the-road. It covers the various point processes (arithmetic, bitwise logical operations, histogram-based transforms, etc), areal operations (convolution kernels and selection kernels), image resizing, 2-image operations, and compression (this last the weakest of the coverage, but still quite acceptable for a general book) in a very clear and competent manner. In this regard, the best surprise is no surprise.

But even in these plain-vanilla topics, Mr. Crane manages to provide some nice touches. For example, his is the only book of its sort that I know of to provide the formulas for generating Gaussian and Laplacian of Gaussian convolution kernels of arbitrary size and roll-offs.

Most satisfyingly, this book includes coverage of some topics that are truly useful but typically not covered in basic IP programming texts. These include various approaches to digital half-toning and some wonderful explorations of image warping and morphing.

All in all, this book is a small treasure. If you program for a living and image processing is part of your domain, the book is well worth having on your shelf. If you program for a hobby and are interested in learning how to work with digital images, this may end up being the only such book you feel the need to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, February 16, 2000
By A Customer
A great book for intro to image processing. Example codes are very well written, with an emphasis on clarity (as opposed to using compact C operators which make it difficult for others to understand).

A great job overall. I recommend it highly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Image Processing Fast and Easy, May 14, 1997
By A Customer
A well done tutorial on how to approach complex image processing problems with ease. The book comes with useful documentation and example code that brings difficult theories within reach of amateur programmers or the curious.Rounds out any programming library
