Principles of digital image processing. Core algorithms (Q1007224)

This is the second textbook from authors three-book series for graduate and post-graduate courses covering digital image processing techniques; earlier the material appeared in one comprehensive volume Digital Image Processing: An Algorithmic Introduction using Java. This volume covers regions in binary images, curve and corner detecting, color spaces and quantization, transformations (Fourier, discrete cosine, affine, projective transformations, aliasing etc.) and comparing/matching of images. The presentation is very algorithmic and expects hands-on experimentation with presented notions and algorithms, every chapter ends with exercises; from the book's website \url{http://www.imagingbook.com} is available the \texttt{ImageJ} software used for example programs; teachers can download also material for slides (figures, tables, equations, algorithms from the book), Java source code for the programming examples and example images.
