Editorial Reviews

"This textbook does an excellent job covering the basics of image processing. I highly recommend it."
—Reza Malek-Madani, Professor of Mathematics, US Naval Academy

"This book is the most concise and readable introductory text on digital image processing I have ever encountered. It provides a gentle introduction to the field with little mathematics and plenty of examples. Each topic is clearly explained and can be practiced using ready-made computer programs written in three programming languages (MATLAB, Octave, and Python)."
—Mahamed G.H. Omran, PhD, Gulf University for Science & Technology (GUST), Kuwait
