Image Based Measurement Systems

This second edition has been broadened and updated throughout to reflect the tremendous developments in the areas of computer vision (methods and algorithms) and computer and video technology since the publication of its successful predecessor. New coverage includes video analysis, modeling, estimation and classification, and introductions to scale space theory and image compression, plus much more.This book is divided into four parts each of which can be used independently - Image Formation, Acquisition and Modelling; Digital Image Processing; Detection, Classification and Estimation; and, Image Analysis. It contains numerous exercises to aid understanding. It is accompaied by a website which will include the colour figures. "Image Based Measurement Systems (2nd Edition)" is an excellent resource for postgraduate students and researchers within the following disciplines: image processing, electrical engineering, computer science, physics, applied mathematics and mechanical engineering. Practising engineers and scientists and all developers of measurement systems will find this invaluable.
