An introduction to color in three-dimensional image processing andthe emerging area of multi-spectral image processing
The importance of color information in digital image processingis greater than ever. However, the transition from scalar tovector-valued image functions has not yet been generally covered inmost textbooks. Now, Digital Color Image Processing fills thispressing need with a detailed introduction to this importanttopic.
In four comprehensive sections, this book covers:
* The fundamentals and requirements for color image processingfrom a vector-valued viewpoint
* Techniques for preprocessing color images
* Three-dimensional scene analysis using color information, aswell as the emerging area of multi-spectral imaging
* Applications of color image processing, presented via theexamination of two case studies
In addition to introducing readers to important new technologiesin the field, Digital Color Image Processing also contains noveltopics such as: techniques for improving three-dimensionalreconstruction, three-dimensional computer vision, and emergingareas of safety and security applications in luggage inspection andvideo surveillance of high-security facilities.
Complete with full-color illustrations and two applicationschapters, Digital Color Image Processing is the only book thatcovers the breadth of the subject under one convenient cover. It iswritten at a level that is accessible for first- and second-yeargraduate students in electrical and computer engineering andcomputer science courses, and that is also appropriate forresearchers who wish to extend their knowledge in the area of colorimage processing.
