Description: "Vast collections of images exist in a wide range of organizations and institutions as well as on the Internet. Some of these images are difficult to locate; others are just too large, too small, too valuable, or too fragile to access directly. In this introductory text to the field of image processing, Jorgensen describes the theoretical, empirical, and pragmatic underpinnings of storage and retrieval as they apply to a variety of visual formats."--BOOK JACKET.
