Computer Vision and Image Processing: Feature Extraction

Image processing and computer vision are hot topics with undergraduates and professionals alike. This text offers a discussion of how techniques in this field can be implemented together with a presentation of the analytical material. The additional working meta-level software on the web not only allows students to see the techniques described in the book actually working, but also lets them explore areas that they are unfamiliar with. Focusing on feature extraction while also encompassing issues and techniques such as image acquisition, sampling theory, point operations and low-level feature extraction, the text takes a clear and coherent approach and aims to appeal to all those interested in feature extraction.
