    Digital Image Processing

by R. C. Gonzalez and R. E. Woods is the leading textbook in its field, and, via a sequence of upgrades, it has retained that position for more than a decade. There are numerous reasons why this is the leading text: For the student or independent reader, the book treats the principal areas of image processing in a clear and thorough manner, complementing discussions with numerous examples. For the instructor, the book is supplemented by an Instructor's Manual that suggests course outlines and projects, and provides solutions to all the exercises in the book. When viewed as a complete package, it becomes clear that Digital Image Processing was written specifically as a comprehensive instruction tool for independent readers, for upper undergraduates, and for first-year graduate students. No other book in the market matches it.

       Digital Image Processing

is a third-generation book that builds on two highly successful earlier editions and the authors' twenty-five years of academic and industrial experience in image processing. The book provides an introduction to basic concepts and methodologies for image processing and develops the foundation for further study in this diverse and rapidly evolving field. The topics covered range from enhancement and restoration to image encoding, segmentation, description, recognition, and interpretation. These topics are illustrated by numerous examples and computer-processed images.
