Description
Book SynopsisComputer Vision and Image Analysis, focuses on techniques and methods for image analysis and their use in the development of computer vison applications. The field is advancing at an ever increasing pace, with applications ranging from medical diagnostics to space exploration. The diversity of applications is one of the driving forces that make it such an exciting field to be involved in for the 21st century. This book presents a unique engineering approach to the practice of computer vision and image analysis, which starts by presenting a global model to help gain an understanding of the overall process, followed by a breakdown and explanation of each individual topic. Topics are presented as they become necessary for understanding the practical imaging model under study, which provides the reader with the motivation to learn about and use the tools and methods being explored.
The book includes chapters on image systems and software, image analysis, e
