Practical Algorithms for Image Analysis - Lawrence O'Gorman

. .

Résumé :
In the classic 'cookbook' style of the original, this new edition guides researchers and practitioners through techniques for the digital manipulation and analysis of images, from the simplest steps to advanced functions. Drawing on their long experience as users and developers of image analysis algorithms and software, the authors present a practical description and implementation of the most suitable procedures. Each section treats a single operation, describing typical situations that use the operation, and discusses the algorithm and implementation. Sections start with a 'before' and 'after' pictorial example and a reference listing typical applications, keywords, and related procedures. This new edition includes extra sections on Gabor filtering and threshholding by connectivity, an expanded program listing, and suggested classroom projects. The accompanying CD-ROM features C programs not only as source code for carrying out the procedures, but also as executables with a graphical user interface for Windows and Linux....

Sommaire:
1. Introduction...

New to the second edition of this well-designed textbook and reference are sections on Gabor filtering, thresholding by connectivity, and a chapter describing all the programs. The book's focus is on hands-on applications and includes a separate chapter of projects, many of them new to this edition, applying the processes described. The sections are grouped by operation and provide clear instruction on the procedure, with before and after images, keywords, specific applications, and related procedures. The various programs used for a procedure, such as global, gray-scale, or binary image analysis are each discussed in separate section, with programs provided accordingly. The CD-ROM contains C programs used in the procedures and executable with a graphic interface for Windows and Linux. Of the three authors, O'Gorman and Michael J. Sammon were both with Bell Laboratories and are now with Avaya Labs: Michael Seul, formerly of AT&T Bell Laboratories, is the founder of BioArray Solutions. --Book News
