| Binary Digital Image Processing: A Discrete Approach is a comprehensive book on the mathematical foundations of binary digital image processing. It provides a unified theoretical coverage of digital topology, discrete geometry, mathematical morphology and algorithmic graph theory and their applications in image analysis.
The book:
* outlines the theoretical framework underpinning the study of digital image processing with particular reference to binary line image processing * addresses low-level binary image processing, reviewing a number of essential characteristics of binary digital images and providing solution procedures and algorithms * includes detailed reviews of topics in binary digital image processing with up-to-date research references in relation to each of the problems under study * includes some practical applications of this work by reviewing some common applications * covers a range of topics, organised by theoretical field rather than being driven by problem definitions
This book is aimed at researchers in image processing and analysis working in computer science, electrical engineering or mathematics departments and at industrial practitioners in computer vision laboratories. It is also appropriate for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students in computer science, image processing or pattern recognition, presenting a detailed step-by-step introduction to the field of digital image processing. The theoretical concepts are reinforced by detailed algorithmic procedures for the practical problems under study.
