Product Description

Thorough, up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of 3-D image processing This authoritative guide presents and explains numerous 3-D image processing, analysis, and visualization techniques, including volume filtering, interpolation, 3-D discrete Fourier transform, evaluation of topological and geometrical features, region segmentation and edge detection, skeletonization and registration, and visualization. Necessary theoretical background is provided for each topic, along with a number of algorithms, selected on the basis of their acceptance by the scientific community.

The presentation of each technique includes a commented implementation, either in C code or in C-like pseudocode. Though presented in an almost ready-to-run form, the C code is simplified to expose the structure of the processing algorithms, rather than their programming details. This combination of theoretical treatment and C code implementation allows readers to gain a thorough insight into these techniques.

Important features of 3-D Image Processing Algorithms include:
* A demo version of EIKONA 3D image processing software
* Lab exercises based on EIKONA 3D
* Accompanying transparencies summarizing the most important topics.

The material can be downloaded from an ftp site

Based on the authors' long experience in research and teaching of 2-D/3-D image processing, 3-D Image Processing Algorithms is an indispensable resource for electrical, computer, and biomedical engineers, as well as computer graphics professionals and programmers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just a way to try and sell their imaging products, January 8, 2002

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

The book was terrible, it didn't really provide sample code that could be used for study or clean examples. Also it kept making a reference to products that needed to be licensed. There are much better books than this one, it was more like a product manual for their libraries and a complete waste at 50.00.

2.0 out of 5 stars Expected more..., September 14, 2009

By	Vital (Irvine, CA USA) - See all my reviews

1. Pretty basic material.
2. Too much code in place of text.
3. Too much about Eikona3D.
4. OK for beginners.
