About the Book

This book offers guided access to a collection of algorithms for the digital manipulation and analysis of images, ranging from the simplest steps to advanced functions not commonly available for users of personal computers.  Written in classic "cookbook" style, it reflects the authors' long experience as users and developers of image analysis algorithms and software.  They take an informed "how-to" approach, emphasizing salient practical considerations that guide the selection of algorithms for commonly encountered image processing and analysis tasks and presenting easy-to-use implementations.
