Author Description

Computer-aided automatic processing of images requires the control of a series of operations, which this book analyzes.<br/>Knowing the statistical properties of images, sampling them to reduce the observable world to a series of discrete values, restoring images in order to correct degradations – all these operations are explained here, together with the mathematical tools they require.<br/>Topics covered include fractal representation, mathematical morphology, wavelet representations and the detection and description of contours and shapes.
