Digital Image Processing

More about the book

This book offers a balanced treatment of image processing fundamentals and the software principles used in their implementation. It integrates material from a leading text and the Image Processing Toolbox from The MathWorks, providing a stable environment for various digital image processing applications. A unique aspect is its focus on enhancing tools through new code development, crucial for achieving acceptable solutions in image processing, which often requires extensive experimentation. Key highlights include an extensive upgrade in this edition, featuring over 120 new MATLAB image processing functions, marking a 40% increase over existing functions in the toolbox. It discusses and implements algorithms and MATLAB functions central to digital image processing, such as intensity transformations, spatial filtering, fuzzy image processing, frequency domain filtering, image restoration, geometric transformations, color image processing, wavelets, compression, morphology, segmentation, representation, and object recognition. Additionally, this edition includes major revisions and introduces new topics like the Radon transform, function-generating functions, advanced geometric transformations, image registration, color profiles, video compression functions, adaptive thresholding algorithms, and new image features, such as minimum-perimeter polygons and local corner features.
