Description:

This book is an introduction to digital image processing from an elementary perspective. Providing a broad introduction to the discipline, the book covers topics that can be introduced with simple mathematics so students can learn the concepts without getting overwhelmed by mathematical detail. The first three chapters set the scene for much of the rest of the book by exploring the nature and use of digital images and how they can be obtained, stored, and displayed. By using MATLAB and its Image Processing Toolbox, students will be able to apply the theory they have learned into practice.
