Whether obtained by microscopes, space probes, or the human eye, the same
basic tools can be applied to acquire, process, and analyze the data
contained in images. Ideal for self study, The Image Processing Handbook,
Sixth Edition, first published in 1992, raises the bar once again as the
gold-standard reference on this subject. Using extensive new illustrations
and diagrams, it offers a logically organized exploration of the important
relationship between two-dimensional images and the three-dimensional
structures they reveal.

Provides Hundreds of Visual Examples in FULL COLOR!

The author focuses on helping readers visualize and compare processing
and measurement operations and how they are typically combined in fields
ranging from microscopy and astronomy to real-world scientific, industrial,
and forensic applications. Presenting methods in the order in which they
would be applied in a typical workflow.from acquisition to interpretation.
this book compares a wide range of algorithms used to:

* Improve the appearance, printing, and transmission of an image
* Prepare images for measurement of the features and structures they reveal
* Isolate objects and structures, and measure their size, shape, color, and
position
* Correct defects and deal with limitations in images
* Enhance visual content and interpretation of details
* This handbook avoids dense mathematics, instead using new practical examples
that better convey essential principles of image processing. This approach
is more useful to develop readers. grasp of how and why to apply processing
techniques and ultimately process the mathematical foundations behind them.

Much more than just an arbitrary collection of algorithms, this is the rare
book that goes beyond mere image improvement, presenting a wide range of
powerful example images that illustrate techniques involved in color
processing and enhancement. Applying his 50-year experience as a scientist,
educator, and industrial consultant, John Russ offers the benefit of his
image processing expertise for fields ranging from astronomy and biomedical
research to food science and forensics. His valuable insights and guidance
continue to make this handbook a must-have reference.
