The new edition will have separate volumes for computer vision and human-based vision applications. The first volume, Computer Vision and Image Analysis, will focus on the topics needed for computer vision systems development. It will feature more examples, more exercises and new algorithms. It will also include the new GUI for the CVIP MATLAB® Toolbox. The expansion of the chapter on application development will help the reader in using the concepts in the book in real world engineering applications. In addition to a step-by-step tutorial on this type of development, I will include recent applications that have been developed with the software. These will provide insight to the reader who is dealing with difficult imaging problems. They will be useful for both research and industry. The second volume, Image Enhancement, Restoration and Compression, will focus on the topics needed for human vison based systems development. It will feature more examples, more exercises and new algorithms. It will also include the new GUI for the CVIP MATLAB®Toolbox. The expansion of the applications-oriented discussion throughout the book will help the reader in using the concepts in the book in real world engineering applications. These will provide insight to the reader who is dealing with difficult imaging problems. They will be useful for both research and industry.

Computer Vision and Image Analysis, focuses on techniques and methods for image analysis and their use in the development of computer vison applications. The field is advancing at an ever increasing pace, with applications ranging from medical diagnostics to space exploration. The diversity of applications is one of the driving forces that make it such an exciting field to be involved in for the 21st century. This book presents a unique engineering approach to the practice of computer vision and image analysis, which starts by presenting a global model to help gain an understanding of the overall process, followed by a breakdown and explanation of each individual topic. Topics are presented as they become necessary for understanding the practical imaging model under study, which provides the reader with the motivation to learn about and use the tools and methods being explored.The book includes chapters on image systems and software, image analysis, edge, line and shape detection, image segmentation, feature extraction and pattern classification. Numerous examples, including over 500 color images are used to illustrate the concepts discussed. Readers can explore their own application development with any programming languages, including C/C++, MATLAB®, Python, and R, and software is provided for both the Windows/C/C++ and MATLAB®environments. The book can be used by the academic community in teaching and research, with over 700 PowerPoint Slides and a complete Solutions Manual to the over 150 included problems. It can also be used for self-study by those involved with developing computer vision applications, whether they are engineers, scientists or artists. The new edition has been extensively updated and includes numerous problems and programming exercises that will help the reader and student to develop their skills.

Digital Image Enhancement, Restoration and Compression focuses on human vision-based imaging application development. Examples include making poor images look better, the development of advanced compression algorithms, special effects imaging for motion pictures and the restoration of satellite images distorted by atmospheric disturbance. This book presents a unique engineering approach to the practice of digital imaging, which starts by presenting a global model to help gain an understanding of the overall process, followed by a breakdown and explanation of each individual topic. Topics are presented as they become necessary for understanding the practical imaging model under study, which provides the reader with the motivation to learn about and use the tools and methods being explored.The book includes chapters on imaging systems and software, the human visual system, image transforms, image filtering, image enhancement, image restoration, and image compression. Numerous examples, including over 700 color images, are used to illustrate the concepts discussed. Readers can explore their own application development with any programming language, including C/C++, MATLAB®, Python and R, and software is provided for both the Windows/C/C++ and MATLAB environments.The book can be used by the academic community in teaching and research, with over 1,000 PowerPoint slides and a complete solutions manual to the over 230 included problems. It can also be used for self-study by those involved with application development, whether they are engineers, scientists or artists. The new edition has been extensively updated and includes numerous problems and programming exercises that will help the reader and student develop their skills.
