Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing: A Practical Approach with Examples in Matlab 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

by Chris Solomon (Author), Toby Breckon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 31 ratings
See all formats and editions
This is an introductory to intermediate level text on the science of image processing, which employs the Matlab programming language to illustrate some of the elementary, key concepts in modern image processing and pattern recognition. The approach taken is essentially practical and the book offers a framework within which the concepts can be understood by a series of well chosen examples, exercises and computer experiments, drawing on specific examples from within science, medicine and engineering.

Clearly divided into eleven distinct chapters, the book begins with a fast-start introduction to image processing  to enhance the accessibility of later topics. Subsequent chapters offer increasingly advanced discussion of topics involving more challenging concepts, with  the final chapter  looking at the application of automated image classification (with Matlab examples) .

Matlab is frequently used in the book as a tool for demonstrations, conducting experiments and for solving problems, as it is both ideally suited to this role and is widely available. Prior experience of Matlab is not required and those without access to Matlab can still benefit from the independent presentation of topics and numerous examples.

  • Includes numerous examples, graded exercises and computer experiments to support both students and instructors alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellently Written
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2013

This book is well written and provides the basics to numerous image processing techniques. Authors do a good job explaining basic principles without bogging down with all the detail. I highly recommend this as an introductory book to image processing as it has been exceptionally useful to me.

It is highly recommended to make use of the website if you wish to get the full value from this book. The website provides all the matlab custom functions and examples used in this book as well as the images. Additionally, the website has an existing errata and also has a way to report errors you may find in the book. Very impressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suitable for a practical introduction to the Image Processing
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2013
The Book of Solomon and Breckon is a good "practical introduction" to the Image Processing.

It is an "introduction" because it covers all the basic subjects of Image Processing in just 300 pages; it is "practical" because it invites you to test the concepts with the help of MATLAB programs, the book is still useful regardless of the knowledge and the use of MATLAB.

The style of the authors is, for me, nice and close to the reader, the authors sometimes understand the doubts that a student may have and clarify them, I think for example at the explanation of the 2D Fourier transform where they explain that the double integral is not to be solved by hand! I think this kind of clarifications help the student, especially the one that is no longer in school / college but who needs to improve his knowledge in a self-study way (this is my case). In general, the style is not overly formal and resembles a live lecture rather than a treatise.

Although this is a book on the fundamentals of image processing there are also introductions to more advanced topics (for example, I really liked the introduction to image segmentation with Markov random fields) that arise, in my opinion, as effective incentives to deepen the discussion on specialized books (in relation to the example I think for example at  Computer Vision: Models, Learning, and Inference by Simon J.D. Prince ).

I conclude by emphasizing the friendliness and helpfulness of both authors, I contacted them via email for clarification and they answered promptly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, not to be missed when dealing with Image processing
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2013
I am an IP student, and I had to deal with a lot of different books for my studies. Now that I have found this one, it is always next to me when I need a reference or when I am dealing with something I am not quite sure of. This "Fundamentals" gives me all the answers. It is clearly written, full of examples and is made of an understandable content. Great to work with, and a must have for everyone working in the image processing area.

This book is okay for a beginner level understanding of what Image Processing is and what we do with it. However, it doesn't convey a good understanding of the fundamental concepts and where they are coming from. Its kind of like the "For Dummies" series books.

This book is a priceless aid for anyone who embarks on an adventure to the digital image processing. Clearly written, with interesting examples in MATLAB allows you to quickly discover new topics. Even if you are an advanced user, you will find something in it for yourself. I would definitely recommend it to young DIP engineers. I give 5 stars!

Utile per chi sta, come me, preparando un esame di Elaborazione Immagini e Computer Vision e vuole usare Matlab, anche perché è l'ambiente più indicato per trattare questo tema senza stare a sudare freddo! La particolarità è che il manuale non dà per scontata la conoscenza di Matlab, per il cui uso comunque si consiglia il tutorial fornito di serie con l'IDE.

As a professional I always need to refer to text books and journals to get ideas on new problems. This book has touched all the major fundamental topics that you might want to refresh your memory on. All the topics are explained clearly and easily.

The best thing of the book I would say is the theory and application approach. Irrespective of other books, the writers have provided sample codes to show how the theories are applied. This can be very handy to beginner learners to understand. For professionals, having MATLAB sample code can definitely help with prototyping a solution.

This book is excellent. It provides the reader with a very good practical insight into various image processing techniques ranging from basic to advanced. Whether you are new to image processing or experienced this book caters for both; it can be used as a quick reference or a step by step introduction to image processing with Matlab. The online materials allows for a much more interactive experience of this book. In summary this book is highly recommended.
