Advances in Digital Image Processing: Theory, Application, Implementation

Digital image processing, originally established to analyze and improve lunar images, is rapidly growing into a wealth of new applications, due to the enormous technical progress made in computer engineering. At present, the most important fields of growth appear to emerge in the areas of medical image processing (i. e. tomography, thermography), earth resource inventory (i. e. land usage, minerals), office automation (i. e. document storage, retrieval and reproduction) and industrial produ...
