E-book Title : Handbook of Computer Vision and Applications - Volume 3: Systems and Applications
Pub Date : 1999
Author : Bernd Jähne, Horst Hauecker & Peter Geiler (Editors)
Publisher: ACADEMIC PRESS
ISBN : 0–12–379773-X

Overview :

This handbook covers a fresh approach to computer vision. The whole vision process from image formation to measuring, recognition, or reacting is regarded as an integral process. Computer vision is understood as the host of techniques to acquire, process, analyze, and understand complex higher-dimensional data from our environment for scientific and technical exploration.

In this sense the handbook takes into account the interdisciplinary nature of computer vision with its links to virtually all natural sciences and attempts to bridge two important gaps. The first is between modern physical sciences and the many novel techniques to acquire images. The second is between basic research and applications. When a reader with a background in one of the fields related to computer vision feels he has learned something from one of the many other facets of computer vision, the handbook will have fulfilled its purpose.

The handbook comprises three volumes. The first volume, Sensors and Imaging, covers image formation and acquisition. The second volume, Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition, focuses on processing of the spatial and spatiotemporal signal acquired by imaging sensors. The third volume, Systems and Applications, describes how computer vision is integrated into systems and applications.

Title : HANDBOOK OF Computer Vision Algorithms in Image Algebra second edition
Pub Date : 2001
Author : Gerhard X. Ritter & Joseph N. Wilson
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN : 0-8493-0075-4

Overview :

Chapter 1 provides a short introduction to the field of image algebra. Chapters 2–12 are devoted to particular techniques commonly used in computer vision algorithm development, ranging from early processing techniques to such higher level topics as image descriptors and artificial neural networks. Although the chapters on techniques are most naturally studied in succession, they are not tightly interdependent and can be studied according to the reader’s particular interest. In the Appendix we present iac++ computer programs of some of the techniques surveyed in this book. These programs reflect the image algebra pseudocode presented in the chapters and serve as examples of how image algebra pseudocode can be converted into efficient computer programs.

E-book Title : Feature Extraction and Image Processing
Pub Date : 2002
Author : Mark S. Nixon & Alberto S. Aguado
Publisher: Newnes
ISBN : 0 7506 5078 8

Overview :

We will no doubt be asked many times: why on earth write a new book on computer vision? Fair question: there are already many good books on computer vision already out in the bookshops, as you will find referenced later, so why add to them? Part of the answer is that any textbook is a snapshot of material that exists prior to it. Computer vision, the art of
processing images stored within a computer, has seen a considerable amount of research by highly qualified people and the volume of research would appear to have increased in recent years. That means a lot of new techniques have been developed, and many of the more recent approaches have yet to migrate to textbooks.

Title : Computer Vision
Pub Date : March, 2000
Author : Linda Shapiro and George Stockman
Publisher: -
ISBN : -

Overview :

This book is intended as an introduction to computer vision for a broad audience. It provides necessary theory and examples for students and practicioners who will work in fields where significant information must be extracted automatically from images. The book should be a useful resource book for professionals, a text for both undergraduate and beginning graduate courses, and a resource for enrichment of college or even high school projects. Our goals were to provide a basic set of fundamental concepts and algorithms and also discuss some of the exciting evolving application areas. This book is unique in that it contains chapters on image databases and on virutal and augmented reality, two exciting evolving application areas. A final chapter gives a complete view of real world systems that use computer vision.

Title : Computer Vision 2nd Ed
Pub Date : 1982
Author : Dana H. Ballard and Christopher M. Brown
Publisher: Prentice Hall
ISBN : 0-13-165316-4

Overview :

What information about scenes can be extracted from an image using only basic assumptions about physics and optics?

How are images segmented into meaningful parts?

At what stage must domain-dependent, prior knowledge about the world be incorporated into the understanding process?

How are world models and conceptual knowledge represented and used?

These and many other questions, inherent in this relatively new and fast-growing field, are explored and answered in Computer Vision. The authors assemble crucial material from many diciplines including artificial intelligence, psychology, computer graphics, and image processing to form a practical text and reference for anyone involved in builing vision systems.
