Practical Algorithms for Image Analysis with CD-ROM

In classic 'cookbook style', this book offers guided access to a collection of algorithms for the digital manipulation and analysis of images, from the simplest steps to advanced functions. In this new edition, the accompanying CD-ROM contains C programs for carrying out the book's procedures not only as source code but also as executables for Windows and Linux.

In the classic 'cookbook' style of the original, this new edition guides researchers and practitioners through techniques for the digital manipulation and analysis of images, from the simplest steps to advanced functions. Drawing on their long experience as users and developers of image analysis algorithms and software, the authors present a practical description and implementation of the most suitable procedures. Each section treats a single operation, describing typical situations that use the operation, and discusses the algorithm and implementation. Sections start with a 'before' and 'after' pictorial example and a reference listing typical applications, keywords, and related procedures. This new edition includes extra sections on Gabor filtering and threshholding by connectivity, an expanded program listing, and suggested classroom projects. The accompanying CD-ROM features C programs not only as source code for carrying out the procedures, but also as executables with a graphical user interface for Windows and Linux.
