Description
This introductory image processing text is ideal for college students studying computer science or software engineering. With an emphasis on software design, the text builds on an accessible mathematical foundation and on extensive sample Java code to teach students the fundamentals of image processing. The text is accompanied by rich illustrations that demonstrate the results of performing processing on famous art pieces. This approach gives readers real-world examples of ways they may use image processing. Each chapter includes problems for students, and an online supplement offers instructor resources.
Reviews / Votes
I was both surprised and intrigued by [the author's] use of beautiful and historically significant artistic imagery for illustrations throughout the book. ... In example after example, Hunt demonstrates how effective such imagery can be in illuminating the principles that he is trying to convey. ... this book does an excellent job of covering much of colour theory, with clear descriptions and effective diagrams and illustrations ... this book has an excellent structure, hitting most of the subjects inherent in the handling of digital images within a computer graphics context. ... I would highly recommend The Art of Image Processing with Java to anyone wishing to obtain a broad and practical knowledge of the science of handling digital images. ... I would recommend this book to any computer science faculty member desiring to create a second graphics course that could be introduced at the sophomore or junior level, prior to the 3-D computer graphics course.-Donald H. House, Journal of Mathematics and the Arts, March 2012
I found the details fascinating. ... the style of the book is friendly and it is easy to read. ... a good [and] very basic introduction to image processing...

Person
Kenny Hunt got a pretty quick start at signal processing and engineering. He built his first crystal radio set at the age of 11 so that he could listen to St. Louis Cardinals baseball games at night hiding under the covers of his bed. Although he aspired to become a famous artist, economic realities and the possession of a disadvantaged skill set pushed him in another direction. He went on to obtain a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and confesses to skipping classes in favor of Thursday afternoon Cardinal baseball games at Bush Stadium. After working as an electrical engineer for seven years, he went on to acquire a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Iowa. Dr. Hunt now teaches in the undergraduate Computer Science program as well as the Masters of Software Engineering program at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
