*PRE-ORDER, APPROX 4-6 BUSINESS DAYS* Digital Image Processing 4th edition by Rafael C. Gonzalez 9780133356724 *FINAL SALE* [ZZ]

Hardcover, Pearson

Provide an introduction to basic concepts and methodologies applicable to digital image processing

• Timely, highly readable, and heavily illustrated with numerous examples of practical significance.
• • NEW! This edition contains 425 new images, 135 new drawings, and 220 new exercises.
• Focuses on the fundamental material whose scope of application is not limited to the solution of specialized problems
• Updated with feedback from an extensive survey that involved faculty, students, and independent readers of the book in 150 institutions from 30 countries.
• • UPDATED! A complete update of the image pattern recognition chapter to incorporate new material on deep neural networks, backpropagation, deep learning, and, especially, deep convolutional neural networks.
  • EXPANDED! Coverage of feature extraction, including the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT, maximally stable extremal regions (MSERs), and corner detection.
  • NEW! Coverage of graph cuts and their application to segmentation.
  • NEW! A discussion of superpixels and their use in region segmentation.
  • NEW! An introduction to segmentation using active contours (snakes and level sets).
  • NEW! Material related to exact histogram matching.
  • EXPANDED! Coverage of the fundamentals of spatial filtering, image transforms, and finite differences with a focus on edge detection.
• NEW! Two new chapters:
• • A chapter dealing with active contours for image segmentation, including snakes and level sets.
  • A chapter that brings together wavelets, several new transforms, and many of the image transforms that were scattered throughout the book.
• NEW! 120 MATLAB projects, located at the end of every chapter and are structured in a unique way that gives instructors significant flexibility in how projects are assigned.
• • The MATLAB functions required to solve all the projects in the book are provided in executable, p-code format which makes it possible for projects to be assigned solely for the purpose of experimenting with image processing concepts, without having to write a single line of code.
  • Alternatively, when instructors elect to assign projects that involve MATLAB code development, we provide students enough answers to form a good base that they can expand, thus gaining experience with developing software solutions to image processing problems

Comprehensive support for both students and instructors

• A companion website is available at http://www.imageprocessingplace.com 
• • Although Digital Image Processing is a completely self-contained book, the companion website offers additional support in a number of important areas, including solution manuals, errata sheets, tutorials, publications in the field, a list of books, numerous databases, links to related websites, and many other features that complement the book.
• NEW! Student Support Package contains all the original images in the book, answers to selected exercises, detailed answers (including MATLAB code) to selected MATLAB projects, and instructions for using a set of utility functions that complement the projects.
• NEW! Faculty Support Package contains solutions to all exercises and projects, teaching suggestions, and all the art in the book in the form of modifiable Powerpoint slides. One support package is made available with every new book, free of charge.
