Description
Book SynopsisAn introduction to color in three-dimensional image processing and the emerging area of multi-spectral image processing The importance of color information in digital image processing is greater than ever. However, the transition from scalar to vector-valued image functions has not yet been generally covered in most textbooks.
Trade Review“This book is recommended for first and second-year graduate students in electrical and computing engineer and computer science courses, as well as for researchers with basic knowledge in image processing who wish to extend their knowledge in the area of color image processing.” (
