Textbook of Digital Image Processing

This book is an attempt to present the advances in digital image processing and analysis in the form of a textbook for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Features· Provides introduction to imaging technology and digital image processes to manipulate and analyze digital image data· Statistical and frequency domain transformations described in detail· A separate chapter focusing on segmentation and edge detection, filtering, enhancement and restoration processes for image analysis is also covered in detail· Morphological and other area operations useful to understand the form and structure of an object is dealt· Methods of image compression, coding the image data into a compact form, distortion caused by compression are discussed· Pattern recognition techniques which help in finding the objects in real world from an image is elaborated· Introduction to most acceptable image processing software like MATLAB, ERDAS and EASI / PACE are provided contents 1. Introduction to imaging technology, 2. Basic digital image processing, 3. Segmentation and edge detection, 4. Morphological and other area operations, 5. Image compression (image coding), 6.
