The Image Processing Handbook

0.0

Image processing is used in a wide variety of applications to improve the visual appearance of images and to prepare images for measurement. This handbook presents an extensive collection of image processing tools to help readers understand methods used in packaged software and learn to program additions for applications. This edition expands discussions on deconvolution, extended dynamic range images, and multichannel imaging with new material on principal components analysis.Now in its fifth edition, John C. Russ's monumental image processing reference is an even more complete, modern, and hands-on tool than ever before. The Image Processing Handbook, Fifth Edition is fully updated and expanded to reflect the latest developments in the field. A companion CD-ROM to this edition is available and includes more than 200 images along with a set of Photoshop(R)-compatible plug-ins that implement many of the algorithms described in the book (for more information, visit www.reindeergraphics.com). Written by an expert with unequalled experience and authority, it offers clear guidance on how to create, select, and use the most appropriate algorithms for a specific application. What's new in the Fifth Edition? - A new chapter on the human visual process that explains which visual cues elicit a response from the viewer - Description of the latest hardware and software for image acquisition and printing, reflecting the proliferation of the digital camera - New material on multichannel images, including a major section on principal components analysis - Expanded sections on deconvolution, extended dynamic range images, and image enlargement and interpolation - More than 600 new and revised figures and illustrations for a total of more than 2000 illustrations - 20% more references to the most up-to-date literature Written in a relaxed and reader-friendly style, The Image Processing Handbook, Fifth Edition guides you through the myriad tools available for image processing and helps you understand how to select and apply each one.
