Digital Image Processing (Prentice-Hall signal processing series)

This broad introduction to the fundamental concepts of digital imaging shows how the various techniques can be applied to solve real-world problems (e.g., in biology, astronomy, forensics, etc.). It helps readers develop the insight required to use the tools of digital imaging to solve new problems. Discusses color, image compression, user interfaces, software development project management, 2-D graphs of Fourier Transforms, analysis of digital imaging systems performance, optics, pattern recognition, image recording and display, CCD cameras.
