This Fifth Edition offers an integral view of image processing from image acquisition to the extraction of data, reflecting new developments in the application of techniques. The CD-ROM contains examples, images, exercises for self-study, and a hands-on version of the image processing software, Heurisko.
It's very bad representation of mathematical backgrounds. Providing a *new* formula with *first* appeared variables without any previous declaration or later explanation for them - it's common practice for the author. The reader is forced to skip such paragraphs at all or to find (not basic!) foundations for these concepts. For those of us, whose mathematical skills is not so solid, material looks overcomplicated. It's better to except it at all or make it more clear. Some image descriptions (or references to them inside text) are misleading (ref to pic 2.11, i.e.). So, if you want to really understand Fourier transformation applied to image processing, for example, this book is not for you, sadly. Try another source with better explanation (with Euler formula and other context for complex numbers too). I expected more from this book.
