Product Description

Product Description
Machine vision may be defined as the automatic analysis of images by computer with the aim of controlling machines and monitoring real-world processes. This edition contains material on artificial neural networks, mathematical morphology, motion, invariance, texture analysis, x-ray inspection and foreign object detection. Intermediate level vision is examined in depth (especially Hough transforms), and automated visual inspection is discussed. The author considers theoretical aspects as well as practical applications, including perspective invariants and robust statistics.

5.0 out of 5 stars A definitive theoretical overview of image processing, 21 Mar 2007

By	Mark Graves "Dr Mark Graves" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Machine Vision: Theory, Algorithms, Practicalities (Signal Processing and its Applications) (Hardcover)

This book is not a hands on "cook book" for those wishing to get some simple code for a specific application. It is instead a comprehensive overview of just about every topic within the world of image processing. Upon reading through this the reader should have a firm grasp of image processing theory as well as a good understanding of the major areas of ongoing research. If someone is starting a career / PhD / Masters and needs to get a complete overview of image processing then this is the one book they need to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Readable but Academic, 7 Dec 2006

By	D. Horrell "Don" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Machine Vision: Theory, Algorithms, Practicalities (Signal Processing and its Applications) (Hardcover)

Edition 3 is a major 6 cm thick hardback tome of almost 1000 pages.
It is readable but very academic, (bizarrely) written in American, not
English.
Instead of inventing strange notations for array operations, this book
needs code examples - with some Java in there this would be a 5-star
recommendation.
How about setting up a web site with accompanying code - this would be
quicker than publishing a new edition & would be a fantastic resource.
(I'm surprised the author does not have access to a pet nerd to do this
- contact me if you wish to do this on the next exition).
