DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING (2ND ED)

Digital Image Processing has been the leading textbook in its field for more than 20 years. As was the case with the 1977 and 1987 editions by Gonzalez and Wintz, and the 1992 edition by Gonzalez and Woods, the present edition was prepared with students and instructors in mind. 771e material is timely, highly readable, and illustrated with numerous examples of practical significance. All mainstream areas of image processing are covered, including a totally revised introduction and discussion of image fundamentals, image enhancement in the spatial and frequency domains, restoration, color image processing, wavelets, image compression, morphology, segmentation, and image description. Coverage concludes with a discussion of the fundamentals of object recognition.Although the book is completely self-contained, a Companion Website (see inside front cover) provides additional support in the form of review material, answers to selected problems, laboratory project suggestions. and a score of other features. A supplementary instructor''s manual is available to instructors who have adopted the book for classroom use.
