First published: 1984
Description: You don't have to be a preeminent computer scientist or engineer to get the most out of today's digital image processing technology. Whether you're working in medical imaging, machine vision, graphic arts, or just a hobbyist working at home, this book will get you up and running in no time, with all the technical know-how you need to perform sophisticated image processing operations.

Designed for end users, as well as an introduction for system designers, developers, and technical managers, this book doesn't bog you down in complex mathematical formulas or lines of programming code. Instead, in clear down-to-earth language supplemented with numerous example images and the ready-to-run digital image processing program on the enclosed disk, it schools you, step-by-step, in essential digital image processing concepts, principles, techniques, and technologies.

. [This book contains] detailed step-by-step guides to the most commonly used operations, including references to real-world applications and implementations; hundreds of before and after images that help illustrate all the operations described; comprehensive coverage of current hardware and the best methods for acquiring, displaying, and processing digital images.
