Digital Image Processing and Analysis - Digital Image Enhancement, Restoration and Compression

Digital Image Enhancement, Restoration and Compression focuses on human vision-based imaging application development. Examples include making poor images look better, the development of advanced compression algorithms, special effects imaging for motion pictures and the restoration of satellite images distorted by atmospheric disturbance. This book presents a unique engineering approach to the practice of digital imaging, which starts by presenting a global model to help gain an understanding of the overall process, followed by a breakdown and explanation of each individual topic. Topics are presented as they become necessary for understanding the practical imaging model under study, which provides the reader with the motivation to learn about and use the tools and methods being explored.

The book includes chapters on imaging systems and software, the human visual system, image transforms, image filtering, image enhancement, image restoration, and image compressi
