Description

Image analysis is a computational feat which humans show excellence in, in comparison with computers. Yet the list of applications that rely on automatic processing of images has been growing at a fast pace. Biometric authentication by face, fingerprint, and iris, online character recognition in cell phones as well as drug design tools are but a few of its benefactors appearing on the headlines. This is, of course, facilitated by the valuable output of the research community in the past 30 show more years. The pattern recognition and computer vision communities that study image analysis have large conferences, which regularly draw 1000 participants. In a way this is not surprising, because much of the human-specific activities critically rely on intelligent use of vision. If routine parts of these activities can be automated, much is to be gained in comfort and sustainable development. The - search field could equally be called visual intelligence because it concerns nearly all activities of awake humans. Humans use or rely on pictures or pictorial languages to represent, analyze, and develop abstract metaphors related to nearly every aspect of thinking and behaving, be it science, mathematics, philosophy, religion, music, or emotions. The present volume is an introductory textbook on signal analysis of visual computation for senior-level undergraduates or for graduate students in science and engineering. My modest goal has been to present the frequently used techniques to analyze images in a common framework–directional image processing. show less
