Professor Azriel Rosenfeld, the founder  of the field of digital image analysis, made fundamental contributions  to a wide variety of problems in image processing, pattern recognition  and computer vision. Professor Rosenfeld's previous students,  postdoctoral scientists, and colleagues illustrate in \u003cem\u003eFoundations  of\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eImage Understanding\u003c\/em\u003e how current research has been  influenced by his work as the leading researcher in the area of image  analysis for over two decades. \u003cbr\u003e  Each chapter of \u003cem\u003eFoundations of Image Understanding\u003c\/em\u003e is written by  one of the world's leading experts in his area of specialization,  examining digital geometry and topology (early research which laid the  foundations for many industrial machine vision systems), edge  detection and segmentation (fundamental to systems that analyze  complex images of our three-dimensional world), multi-resolution and  variable resolution representations for images and maps, parallel  algorithms and systems for image analysis, and the importance of human  psychophysical studies of vision to the design of computer vision  systems. Professor Rosenfeld's chapter briefly discusses topics not  covered in the contributed chapters, providing a personal, historical  perspective on the development of the field of image understanding.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eFoundations of Image Understanding\u003c\/em\u003e is an excellent source of  basic material for both graduate students entering the field and  established researchers who require a compact source for many of the  foundational topics in image analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792374572\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1529-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 492.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578382966924,"sku":"9780792374572","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792374572.jpg?v=1767145319","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792374572","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
