Summary:

This book provides the fundamentals of image processing specifically for the practicing engineer or scientist. A large variety of example images is included to give the reader a better understanding of how particular image processing algorithms work. This book bridges the gap between existing high level texts and the need for a more practical and fundamental approach.
