Image Processing Handbook examines the rapid, powerful developments in graphic information, covering the array of concepts and techniques in high-end imaging software. With balanced, complete descriptions, the text outlines frequency space methods with extensive mathematical presentation and spatial domain processing; compares different algorithms; and requires only a modest technical background in mathematics or computers.Key Features: -- A new chapter on surface imaging and completely updated references-- A text-enhancing CD-- Methods for correcting image defects, such as geometric distortion and nonuniform illumination-- Assessment of binary images using morphological and Boolean operations-- Three-dimensional imaging with tomographic reconstruction, serial sections, and volumetric and surface-rendering methods
