  Two-dimensional imaging
Bracewell R., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1995.  Type: Book (9780130626219)

Obviously intended as a textbook, with hundreds of fascinating problems that give insight into odd aspects of theory and intriguing practical applications, this book has breadth and depth. Bracewell has a wonderful sense of humor, and ...

  Visualizing Features and Tracking Their Evolution
Samtaney R., Silver D., Zabusky N., Cao J. Computer 27(7): 20-27, 1994.  Type: Article

The objective of this work is to extract and display coherent amorphous regions from two- and three-dimensional scalar and vector fields in time-dependent simulations, for example, in computational fluid dynamics. Regions are defined b...

  Digital image processing
Baxes G., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, NY, 1994.  Type: Book (9780471009498)

When I received this book to review, I was quite excited. Baxes’s previous work, Digital image processing: a practical primer [1], had made a great impression on me. It was full of useful material, to the extent that I...

  Digital image processing algorithms
Pitas I., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1993. 350 pp.  Type: Book (9780131458147), Reviews: (2 of 2)

Pitas attempts to provide a fairly complete compendium of thesubject matter. Like other books on the subject, however, this worknecessarily can only sample the material. There is just too much in thisburgeoning field....

  A noniterative thinning algorithm
Neusius C., Olszewski J. ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software 20(1): 5-20, 1994.  Type: Article

The basic idea of this thinning algorithm is to assign to each “black” pixel its distance to the edge of the object to which it belongs. This is done by a simple systematic forward pass followed by a backward pass, ...

  Multiresolution image shape description
Gauch J., Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., New York, NY, 1992.  Type: Book (9780387976822)

The title of this book was exciting. Image shape description is an important and still not satisfactorily resolved problem, and “multiresolution” approaches to image processing seem to be the wave of the future. So ...

  Digital image processing (2nd ed.)
Pratt W., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, NY, 1991.  Type: Book (9780471857662)

The first edition of this work [1] was nearly a comprehensive handbook of its subject matter. The second edition is not; to keep it to about the same size as the first edition, some topics that one would expect to find had to be omitt...

  High-speed range estimation based on intensity gradient analysis
Skifstad K., Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., New York, NY, 1991.  Type: Book (9780287974799)

Except for the excellent typography, this volume is a typical book extracted (presumably) from a Ph.D. dissertation. It contains philosophistical (sic) ruminations and some humorous asides. It expands to 182 pages a fairly simple and n...

  Estimation of surface topography from SAR imagery using shape from shading techniques
Frankot R., Chellappa R. (ed) Artificial Intelligence 43(3): 271-310, 1990.  Type: Article

This fascinating paper presents an important stage in the development of powerful integrated methods for remote determination of terrain such as the Venusian surface. The authors combine shape-from-shading (SFS) information with low-re...

  ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (v.23 n.3)
Beach R. (ed)  ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics 33:1989.  Type: Journal

I became interested in this conference proceedings because of my interest in the texture recognition problem. I had seen a reference to the Kajiya and Kay paper on texture synthesis. When I called ACM for a reprint of the paper I someh...
