Digital imaging is now ubiquitous, from the smart phone in your pocket to state-of-the-art medical imaging and satellite imagery. Raw imaging data can be manipulated using computer algorithms to perform a range of functions from reducing noise to complex image analysis and pattern and object recognition. The result is that digital image processing has applications in almost all areas of science and engineering. Designed for a one semester course, the aim of this book is to concentrate on the principles and techniques of image processing. This second edition includes important updates to the first edition, as well as two entirely new chapters, making the book ideal for advanced students in physics and engineering. Key Features: A combination of theory, exercises and supportive software Uses MATLAB to perform processing transformations â and accompanied by downloadable code Programming exercises using MATLAB New chapters on machine learning, error correcting codes and cryptography
