32.Image Processing
DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING has been the world-wide leading textbook in its field for more than 30 years. As the 1977 and 1987 editions by Gonzalez and Wintz, and the 1992 edition by Gonzalez and Woods, the present edition was prepared with students and instructors in mind. The material is timely, highly readable, and illustrated with numerous examples of practical significance.
All mainstream areas of image processing are covered, including a totally revised introduction and discussion of image fundamentals, image enhancement in the spatial and frequency domains, restoration, color image processing, wavelets, image compression, morphology, segmentation, and image description. Coverage concludes with a discussion on the fundamentals of object recognition.
Manipulating data in the form of an image through several possible techniques. An image is usually interpreted as a two-dimensional array of brightness values, and is most familiarly represented by such patterns as those of a photographic print, slide, television screen, or movie screen. An image can be processed optically, or digitally with a computer.Registration is also the central task of image mosaicing procedures. Carefully calibrated and prerecorded camera parameters may be used to eliminate the need for an automatic registration. User interaction also is a reliable source for manually registering images (e.g. by choosing corresponding points and employing necessary transformations on screen with visual feedback
