Digital Image Processing and Analysis
Scott E Umbaugh is a Southern Illinois University Edwardsville University Distinguished Research Professor and Graduate Program Director in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (SIUE). He also serves as the Director of SIUE's Computer Vision and Image Processing (CVIP) Laboratory. For over 30 years, he has taught computer vision and image processing, as well as computer and electrical engineering design.
Digital image processing, whether for computer evaluation of otherworldly terrain or the latest high definition 3D blockbuster, involves the acquisition, analysis, and processing of visual information by computer and requires a unique skill set that has yet to be defined in a single text. Until now, that is.
Digital Image Processing and Analysis, which takes an applications-oriented, engineering approach, provides the tools for developing and advancing computer and human vision applications, as well as bringing image processing and analysis together into a unified framework.
The author presents topics as they become necessary for understanding the practical imaging model under study, providing information and background in a logical, as-needed fashion. He provides a conceptual presentation of the material to ensure a thorough understanding of complex topics, as well as a discussion of the theory and foundations of digital image processing, as well as the algorithm development required to advance the field.
Among the best books on image processing, this book provides supplementary exercises, a new chapter on applications, and two major new tools that allow for batch processing, the analysis of imaging algorithms, and the overall research and development of imaging applications, with liberal use of color throughout and more materials on the processing of color images than the previous edition. It includes two new software tools: the CVIP Feature Extraction and Pattern Classification Tool and the Computer Vision and Image Processing Algorithm Test and Analysis Tool.
This book, divided into five major sections, provides the concepts and models needed to analyze digital images and develop computer vision and human consumption applications, as well as all of the information required to use the CVIPtools environment for algorithm development, making it an ideal reference tool for this rapidly growing field.
