This long-established and well-received monograph offers an integral view of image processing - from image acquisition to the extraction of the data of interest - written by a physical scientists for other scientists.

Supplements discussion of the general concepts is supplemented with examples from applications on PC-based image processing systems and ready-to-use implementations of important algorithms.

Completely revised and extended, the most notable extensions being a detailed discussion on random variables and fields, 3-D imaging techniques and a unified approach to regularized parameter estimation.

Complete text of the book is now available on the accompanying CD-ROM. It is hyperlinked so that it can be used in a very flexible way.

CD-ROM contains a full set of exercises to all topics covered by this book and a runtime version of the image processing software heurisko. A large collection of images, image sequences, and volumetric images is available for practice exercises
