Summary: neither one nor the other
Review: I found this book too mathematical and very sparse when actually trying to help myself on an image processing course. It covers quite a lot of ground, but there's almost more math than english. You get the feeling the authors are very comfortable with this, and to be honest if you have done a maths-based degree it'll be fine for you. But then again, you may find it treats topics lightly and constantly refers to other papers, as if you live in a good science library or something.

Summary: Interesting combination of topics.
Review: I like this book. It has been very useful many times. It covers a great deal of ground. It covers topics not commonly seen together. I would recommend as an interesting perspective for computer vision researchers or as an excellent reference for those working in information retreival.

Summary: Good Amount of Info.
Review: The authors use easy-to-understand algorithms to explain difficult concepts, and carefully selected examples that make it very a comprehensive book. For me it is an excellent textbook for beginners as well as advanced image processing people.

Summary: not for the mechanic
Review: This book covers a lot but if you are the practical kind who wants to know how things work and implement them fast, this is not the book for reference. Some chapters are good and are detailed and informative, while some others contain such sparse information that the atleast I was totally confused.

Summary: Useful but ....
Review: This book is definitely NOT for new students in machien vision. This books also contains major error in stereo vision process. The mathematical formulation they have derived for stereo camera calibration is wrong and hence not possible to implement. The book does not describe any details of the method.

Summary: Good text but expensive in the US.
Review: This book is OK as a rather non-mathematical introduction to image processing at an advanced undergraduate level.
The "analog" approach to signal and image processing is not covered extensively. There is more emphasis on algorithmic aspects. Frequency analysis is kept to a minimum and one-dimensional signals such as speech are not covered extensively or at all, although some aspects of analog processing are more easily explained in a 1-D context.
Maybe just as well from an image analysis/computer vision standpoint. Indeed, many other textbooks exist with more emphasis on base functions and transforms (but then they are utterly lacking in the algorithmic approach). More down to earth, though. I know that my students would be turned off by the US price of $115. Hardly appropriate for the less affluent student ! Especially since the UK Amazon price is £37. Same ISBN. Luckily, in Europe, we can order from the UK store.

Review: We've been using this book in the image processing class I'm taking. I've found it very useful. It covers a large range of topics and manages to cover the material with just enough detail. Cut-and-paste coders may want to look elsewhere, since this book stays away from code examples. Instead it uses a lot of algorithms. I've had little trouble implementing the filtering and segmentation techniques described in the book.
