Product Description
Product Description
The book comes complete with full source code listings and a clear description of the techniques used. Examples and exposition alone make it a good introduction to the image processing field. Use of Java makes the image processing examples portable. This is the only Java book covering: embedded web page coding; wavelet transforms; cosine transforms; compression techniques; resolution techniques; enhancement techniques; and special effects.

The first image processing "cookbook" for Java!
Image Processing in Java combines the most complete set of real-world Java-based image processing examples ever assembled in one book with a sound theoretical foundation for image processing. An image processing practicum that delivers thoroughly-tested, platform-independent algorithms you can use to build Java-based software for virtually any product or research development project.
Coverage includes:
- Restoration, compression, segmentation, transformation, representation and warping
- Displaying and filtering images in Java
- Homogeneous point processing functions and classes
- Image streams, file readers and writers
- Direct convolution, edge detection, morphological filtering, boundary processing, and more
- Designing CODECs and custom image formats
- Wavelets in Java
- Multi-resolution image processing
Practical from start to finish, Image Processing in Java is the only book of its kind. And if you want to master image processing using the fastest-growing computer language in history -Java-it's the only book you need.
CD-ROM INCLUDED
The accompanying CD-ROM is PACKED with data and has been tested on Windows, MacOS and UNIX. It contains:
- original source code not seen elsewhere (over 117 classes)
- a complete image processing application
- two graduate-level Java courses taught by the author
- a large image and image sequence database.
Source code also available on the Internet!

Not another everyday JAVA book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Image Processing in Java (Paperback)
Well, I felt like adding a review after seeing that actually some people don't find the book of quality, for what I would call inconsistent reasons. The book is a tremendous contribution to the JAVA world, and in short is unique in its content. Very rich in image processing algorithms of all flavors, at their finest quality. The text is surprisingly clear, the code implementation intuitive and easy to follow. I rarely find quality code that does quality things. Some algorithms that once required me to go through hard to understand microfilms or research papers, I find them here implemented and approached in a very elegant manner. Of course, you might have to adjust them a little if you're going to use them in your own code, but the work left is so trivial that I would call them "plug-n-play". You do not need to take care of porting any libraries to your platform, the code is pure JAVA. It is Kahindu. The classes are based on frames, dialogs, standard JDK, nothing can get simpler than that. You might find the GUI a bit messy if you are a graphics user or the everyday homepage applet writer, but for a programmer it should appear as common sense. As conclusion, you DO NOT want to miss this book. Whether you are to instruct yourself, teach, use the code for yourself or just simply stare at some sweet algorithms, this book is a blast. Too bad there are very few books like that out there yet, hopefully this will change. As far as the price, you can consider it a donation from the author. Great great great.

First does not mean best!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Image Processing in Java (Paperback)
This sentance from the book's forward sumarizes this book well. "This may not be the very best book that will ever be written on image processing in Java, but it is the FIRST book."Don't look to this as a how-to book. It is more of an academic treatise on image processing fundementals. As such, it is a valuable reference manual. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

A lot of work and excellent software,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Image Processing in Java (Paperback)
This book must have taken a lot of work. The algorithms described have all be implemented by the author. Unlike classic image processing textbooks that I have seen, every algorithm actually works. This is NOT a theory book, yet it contains the foundations needed for graduate level work.

Excellent technical treatment of the intended subject matter,
By vsh97@chollian.dacom.co.kr - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Image Processing in Java (Paperback)
This book is full of Image Processing Gems! It can be used as a college level textbook in image processing, but can also be used by the practicing professional engineer. To understand all the detailed presentation of the algorithms you do need an understanding of college calculus, but that shouldn't be a minus.I can't understand one reviewer's remarks that this book is a bad image processing book because it doesn't use Swing. Perhaps he was looking for a Swing book not a technical presentation of image processing with examples in Java. If you need an image processing book get this one! |
