Color Image Processing and Applications

Reporting the state of the art of color image processing, this monograph fills an existing gap in the literature on digital signal and image processing. It can serve the needs of different users at different levels: as a textbook which covers a graduate image processing course, as a up-to-date reference for researchers since it offers a broad survey of the relevant literature, and as a relevant information source for development engineers who work in the design and the implementation of various image processing tasks. Part of the material in the book was the basis of seminars at the University of Toronto. The book contains numerous examples and pictures of color image processing results, as well as tables which summarize the results of the analysis. Algorithms implemented in JAVA can be downloaded from the author's website .

One-Dimensional Signals This book belongs to the more advanced and applicational volumes of the series It fills an existing gap in the literature Target groups therefore are mainly development engineers and researchers in image communications (multimedia, digital tv) and computer vision (e.g. medical imaging)
