Image Processing: Theory and Applications

by Gianni Vernazza (Editor), Anastasios N. Venetsanopoulos

The area of research represented in this book is of increasing interest and is contributing to impressive advances in several fields, such as communications, radar-sonar systems, remote sensing, biomedicine, moving vehicle recognition-tracking, traffic monitoring, automatic inspection and robotics. The 104 papers [including seven invited papers] provide an authoritative and permanent record of the scientific and technical lectures, presented by selected speakers from a number of countries. Some papers are theoretical, while others contain new implementations and applications. New digital image processing and recognition methods, implementation techniques and advanced applications are presented. In particular, new approaches for hybrid systems and industrial applications are described. This work will be of interest not only to researchers, professors and students in university departments of engineering, communications, computers and automatic control, but also to engineers and managers of industries concerned with computer vision, manufacturing, automation, robotics and quality control.
