DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING has been the world-wide leading textbook in its field for
more than 30 years. As 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. The 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 on the fundamentals of object recognition.
Although the book
is completely self-contained, this companion web site 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.
