Included Index.

"A Publication of SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering."
"Eastern Economy Edition" -- Cover.

This book presents an introduction to the fundamentals of image processing theory, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of algorithms to per-form specific image processing tasks. It ideally fills the gap between high-level texts and the need for a more practical and fundamental text on image processing. Throughout, the text includes a large variety of example images to give the reader a better understanding of how particular image processing algori-thms work. The book will be an indispensable guide for students of physics, electro-nics, communication engineering, and computer science and engineering for courses in electronic/digital image processing. It will also be of immense practical use to practising engineers and scientists involved in image processing in the fields of astronomy, medicine, crime and fingerprint analysis, remote sensing, manufacturing, aerospace, defence research, and multimedia.
