The brand new edition of IMAGE PROCESSING, ANALYSIS, AND MACHINE VISION is a robust text providing deep and wide coverage of the full range of topics encountered in the field of image processing and machine vision. As a result, it can serve undergraduates, graduates, researchers, and professionals looking for a readable reference. The book's encyclopedic coverage of topics is wide, and it can be used in more than one course (both image processing and machine vision classes). In addition, while advanced mathematics is not needed to understand basic concepts (making this a good choice for undergraduates), rigorous mathematical coverage is included for more advanced readers. It is also distinguished by its easy-to-understand algorithm descriptions of difficult concepts, and a wealth of carefully selected problems and examples.

  • The book provides a suggestion for partitioning contents with possible course outlines.
  • PowerPoint slides with images and chapter summaries are available for download.
  • Each chapter includes references, exercises, and a concise summary section.
  • The "Problems and Exercises" section has been moved back to the book.
  • The new edition includes 15% newly written material with state-of-the-art methods and techniques.
  • New topics include Radon transform, nearest neighbor classification, random forests, Markov random fields, and SIFT.
  • Chapters 12 and approaches to 3D vision have been entirely rewritten.
  • Includes MindTap which is an interactive, customizable and complete learning solution. It includes a MindTap Reader and a library of learning apps (e.g., CNOW, Aplia, ReadSpeaker, Merriam-Webster dictionary, MyContent, RSS Feed, Kaltura, Progress app, etc.).
