Features: This book is primarily written for readers who are self-studying image processing and analysis. It systematically introduces the fundamental principles, typical methods, and practical techniques of image processing and analysis. This book is a supplementary textbook for the Education Ministry's New Century Network Course. The content of this book includes an overview of image technology and visual foundations, common digital image acquisition methods, basic image transformation techniques, image enhancement techniques, image encoding techniques, image segmentation techniques, and target expression, description, and feature measurement techniques in images. Readers can learn the fundamental principles and techniques of image processing and analysis from this book and should be able to solve some specific problems in practical image applications based on this knowledge. Considering the needs and characteristics of self-study, the book is organized into knowledge units. Each unit includes basic concepts, technical principles, algorithm introductions, example explanations, key points summaries, self-assessment (including hints and solutions), and references to help readers self-study, review, master, and apply the relevant content. This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in electronic technology, computer applications, and other related fields in process education or continuing education. It can also be used as a self-study reference for technical workers in industries involving image technology applications (such as biomedical, television and broadcasting, industrial automation, remote sensing, and military reconnaissance, etc.).
