A Selection of Image Processing Techniques: From Fundamentals to Research Front

This book focuses on seven commonly used image processing techniques. These are Image de-noising, Image de-blurring, Image repairing, Image de-fogging, Image reconstruction from projection, Image watermarking, and Image super-resolution. The book is suitable for readers who do not have a complete foundation in the principles of image technology but need to use image techniques to solve specific tasks in particular applications. Hence, elementary knowledge for further study is provided, allowing the reader to discover suitable techniques for solving practical problems and to learn the latest developments in a specific domain.

This book offers readers a three-step strategy toward problem solving: first, essential principles, then detailed explanation before discussion of practical and working techniques for specific tasks, while highlighting materials pertaining to the newest developments and trends of the technologies.
