Riguardo questo articolo

Whilst other books cover a broad range of topics, Feature Extraction and Image Processing takes one of the prime targets of applied computer vision, feature extraction, and uses it to provide an essential guide to the implementation of image processing and computer vision techniques. Acting as both a source of reference and a student text, the book explains techniques and fundamentals in a clear and concise manner and helps readers to develop working techniques, with usable code provided throughout.

Riassunto

* Essential reading for engineers and students working in this cutting edge field
* Ideal module text and background reference for courses in image processing and computer vision
* Companion website includes worksheets, links to free software, Matlab files and new demonstrations

Image processing and computer vision are currently hot topics with undergraduates and professionals alike. Feature Extraction and Image Processing provides an essential guide to the implementation of image processing and computer vision techniques, explaining techniques and fundamentals in a clear and concise manner. Readers can develop working techniques, with usable code provided throughout and working Matlab and Mathcad files on the web.

Focusing on feature extraction while also covering issues and techniques such as image acquisition, sampling theory, point operations and low-level feature extraction, the authors have a clear and coherent approach that will appeal to a wide range of students and professionals.

The new edition includes:

* New coverage of curvature in low-level feature extraction (SIFT and saliency) and features (phase congruency); geometric active contours; morphology; camera models
* Updated coverage of image smoothing (anistropic diffusion); skeletonization; edge detection; curvature; shape descriptions (moments)

* Essential reading for engineers and students working in this cutting edge field
* Ideal module text and background reference for courses in image processing and computer vision
* Companion website includes worksheets, links to free software, Matlab files and solutions

Informazioni sull?autore

Mark Nixon is the Professor in Computer Vision at the University of Southampton UK. His research interests are in image processing and computer vision. His team develops new techniques for static and moving shape extraction which have found application in biometrics and in medical image analysis. His team were early workers in automatic face recognition, later came to pioneer gait recognition and more recently joined the pioneers of ear biometrics. With Tieniu Tan and Rama Chellappa, their book Human ID based on Gait is part of the Springer Series on Biometrics and was published in 2005. He has chaired/ program chaired many conferences (BMVC 98, AVBPA 03, IEEE Face and Gesture FG06, ICPR 04, ICB 09, IEEE BTAS 2010) and given many invited talks. Dr. Nixon is a Fellow IET and a Fellow IAPR.
