Review: The book is fairly good but it lacks of examples

Summary: Great reference!
Review: This book gets better with ownership! It covers (well) many of the fundamental algorithms used in computer vision systems. I appreciate the book more today, than when I purchased it.

Rating:
Summary: Pretty good but dated
Review: This used to be the best textbook and reference source around, but even with the new edition it is dated, with poor coverage of things like video, wavelets and compression, and a terrible treatment of morphology. There's better books out there now, such as Tekalp's book on Video Processing and the Handbook of Image and Video Processing by Bovik etc. Still, pretty good treatment of the basic stuff.

Review: This volume covers the waterfront of image processing from a reasonable introductory level. Refreshingly, it is much more than a cookbook. The authors pay attention to the physical principles that imaging and image manipulation are based on. With many quality images and examples, there is much for the less mathematically inclined to cut their teeth on while brushing up on their advanced math skills. The inclusion of many well chosen problems makes the book a valuable volume in a student's library. The book's associated web-site is a major bonus for the reader. I did find that some of the figure captions were challenging to interpret but the problem does not seem pervasive. Overall, I liked the book. It is a valuable addition to the image processing literature and to the image processing textbook selection.
