Digital image processing - Rafael C. Gonzalez

Digital Image Processing is a third generation book that builds on two highly successful earlier editions and the authors' twenty years of academic and industrial experience in image processing. The book provides an introduction to basic concepts and methodologies for image processing and develops the foundation for further study in this diverse and rapidly evolving field. The topics covered range from enhancement and restoration to image encoding, segmentation, description, recognition, and interpretation. These topics are illustrated by numerous computer-processed images.
