The
key difference between the books is that Digital Image Processing (DIP) deals primarily with the
theoretical foundation of digital image processing, while Digital Image
Processing Using MATLAB (DIPUM) is a book whose main focus is the use of
MATLAB for image processing. In other words, DIP covers the fundamentals of digital image processing and DIPUM
covers the software implementation of image processing algorithms using
MATLAB. DIP assumes no knowledge about image processing on the part of
the reader. On the other hand, all discussions of theoretical concepts in
DIPUM are brief and it is assumed that the reader has knowledge of image
processing (at approximately the level of the material in the DIP book).
There are two principal ways to utilize the complementary strengths of the
books in an academic environment. One is to use DIP as the basis for
the fundamentals part of a formal course, and use DIPUM as the book for a
companion laboratory. The other is to offer a formal DIP course in one
term and follow in the next term with a
special-topics course based on DIPUM. At the end of this period, the
student will be well-trained in the fundamentals of image processing and in the
art of prototyping algorithms and solutions using MATLAB software tools.
We have provided extensive sample materials on-line to allow detailed evaluation
of the contents in the books.

[NOTE: Digital Image Processing, 3rd ed. (DIP/3e) has a 2008 copyright and is the current version in use in the
Western Hemisphere. DIP/2e is still in use in the Eastern Hemisphere;
DIP/2e is fully supported in this web site while it undergoes an update
for use in the Eastern Hemisphere. That work is in progress.]
