The sixth edition of this worldwide used textbook was thoroughly revised and extended. Throughout the whole text you will find numerous improvements, extensions, and updates. Above all, I would like to draw your attention to two major changes.
Firstly, the whole textbook is now clearly partitioned into basic and advanced material in order to cope with the ever-increasing field of digital image processing. The most important equations are put into framed boxes. The advanced sections are located in the second part of each chapter and are marked by italic headlines and by a smaller typeface. In this way, you can first work your way through the basic principles of digital image processing without getting overwhelmed by the wealth of the material. You can extend your studies later to selected topics of interest.
The second most notable extension are exercises that are now included at the end of each chapter. These exercise help you to test your understanding, train your skills, and introduce you to real-world image processing tasks. The exercises are marked with one to three stars to indicate their difficulty. An important part of the exercises is a wealth of interactive computer exercises, which cover all topics of this textbook. These exercises are performed with the image processing software heurisko® (http://www.heurisko.de), which is included on the accompanying CD-ROM. In this way you can get own practical experience with almost all topics and algorithms covered by this book. The CD-ROM also includes a large collection of images, image sequences, and volumetric images that can be used together with the computer exercises. Information about the solutions of the exercises and updates of the computer exercises can be found on the homepage of the author at http://www.bernd-jaehne.de.
Each chapter closes with a section “Further Reading” that guides the interested reader to further references. The appendix includes two chapters. Appendix A gives a quick access to a collection of often used reference material and Appendix B details the notation used throughout the book. The complete text of the book is now available on the accompanying CD-ROM. It is hyperlinked so that it can be used in a very flexible way. | |
