In order to provide our readers with as many resources on imaging and machine vision as possible, Andy Wilson, Vision Systems Design Editor in Chief, has compiled a list of educational and informative books on various imaging topics that he personally recommends. Check out this week’s recommendations here:
- Feature Extraction & Image Processing for Computer Vision by Mark Nixon: This book is an essential guide to the implementation of image processing and computer vision techniques, with tutorial introductions and sample code in Matlab. Algorithms are presented and fully explained to enable complete understanding of the methods and techniques demonstrated. As one reviewer noted, "The main strength of the proposed book is the exemplar code of the algorithms."
- Color Image Processing and Applications (Digital Signal Processing)by Konstantinos Plataniotis, Anastasios N. Venetsanopoulos: Reporting the state of the art of color image processing, this monograph fills an existing gap in the literature on digital signal and image processing. It can serve the needs of different users at different levels: as a textbook which covers a graduate image processing course, as a up-to-date reference for researchers since it offers a broad survey of the relevant literature, and as a relevant information source for development engineers who work in the design and the implementation of various image processing tasks.
- Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis by Earl Gose, Richard Johnsonbaugh, Steve Jost: Over the past 20 to 25 years, pattern recognition has become an important part of image processing applications where the input data is an image. This book is a complete introduction to pattern recognition and its increasing role in image processing. It covers the traditional issues of pattern recognition and also introduces two of the fastest growing areas: Image Processing and Artificial Neural Networks. Examples and digital images illustrate the techniques, while an appendix describes pattern recognition using the SAS statistical software system.
- Correlation Pattern Recognitionby B. V. K. Vijaya Kumar, Abhijit Mahalanobis, Richard D. Juday: Correlation is a robust and general technique for pattern recognition and is used in many applications, such as automatic target recognition, biometric recognition and optical character recognition. The design, analysis and use of correlation pattern recognition algorithms requires background information, including linear systems theory, random variables and processes, matrix/vector methods, detection and estimation theory, digital signal processing and optical processing. This book provides a needed review of this diverse background material and develops the signal processing theory, the pattern recognition metrics, and the practical application know-how from basic premises.
- Pattern Recognition in Industryby Phiroz Bhagat: "Find it hard to extract and utilise valuable knowledge from the ever-increasing data deluge?" If so, this book will help, as it explores pattern recognition technology and its concomitant role in extracting useful information to build technical and business models to gain competitive industrial advantage. *Based on first-hand experience in the practice of pattern recognition technology and its development and deployment for profitable application in Industry. Phiroz Bhagat is often referred to as the pioneer of neural net and pattern recognition technology, and is uniquely qualified to write this book.
