Digital Image Processing

Spring 2006

1. Goal of Course

The interest in Digital Image Processing stems from the two fundamental reasons: one to improve the pictorial information for human interpretations; and second to process image data for storage, transmission, and use of autonomous machine perception.

2. Recommended Textbook

Digital Image Processing, Second Edition, Rafael C. Gonzalez and Richard E. Woods.
