Klappentext

The challenge behind the processing of digital images is the huge amounts of data that has to be processed in an extremely short period of time. This book is a broad-ranging technical survey of computational and analytical methods and tools for digital image analysis and interpretation. The ultimate goal is to create a rich set of computational methods for image analysis and interpretation that can achieve rapid response times. This book will serve as an excellent up-to-date resource for computer scientists and engineers in digital imaging and analysis.
