Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing

A thorough overview of the major topics in digital image processing — representation, processing techniques, and communication.

---

An overview of the major topics in digital image processing, representation, processing techniques and communication, this work starts by presenting the mathematical tools required to handle image processing problems. It then discusses the major topics to enable the reader to learn the underlying techniques and concepts. The author covers aspects of image representation including luminance, colour, spatial and temporal properties of vision and digitization, discussing image processing techniques including image enhancement, image restoration, degradation removal, image analysis, image reconstruction and data compression. Also provided is a treatment of stochastic models, useful in understanding the fundamental techniques used in image restoration and coding, and a discussion of algorithm development for image transforms, enhancement, reconstruction and image coding.
