Algorithms for Image Processing and Computer Vision 2e Secnd Edition

A cookbook of algorithms for common image processing applications

Thanks to advances in computer hardware and software, algorithms have been developed that support sophisticated image processing without requiring an extensive background in mathematics. This bestselling book has been fully updated with the newest of these, including 2D vision methods in content-based searches and the use of graphics cards as image processing computational aids. It's an ideal reference for software engineers and developers, advanced programmers, graphics programmers, scientists, and other specialists who require highly specialized image processing.
* Algorithms now exist for a wide variety of sophisticated image processing applications required by software engineers and developers, advanced programmers, graphics programmers, scientists, and related specialists
* This bestselling book has been completely updated to include the latest algorithms, including 2D vision methods in content-based searches, details on modern classifier methods, and graphics cards used as image processing computational aids
* Saves hours of mathematical calculating by using distributed processing and GPU programming, and gives non-mathematicians the shortcuts needed to program relatively sophisticated applications.

Algorithms for Image Processing and Computer Vision, 2nd Edition provides the tools to speed development of image processing applications.

Programmers, scientists, and engineers are always in need of newer techniques and algorithms to manipulate and interpret images. Advances   in computer hardware and software have allowed for algorithms that help these people to do relatively sophisticated image processing without an extensive background in mathematics. An example of this kind of image processing is a CAT scan. A machine takes a "picture" of the brain, which is transmitted to a computer as bits of data. The computer then reassembles these bits of data into a true image of the brain. These techniques are also being used by animators to bring characters to life in movies and games. New for this updated edition is the use of 2D vision methods in content-based searches, and the use of graphics cards as image processing computational aids. In addition, all the basic technology chapters (edge detection, texture) ware updated with new developments.
