filtering

* Segmentation schemes, and classification and recognition of
objects

* Texture and shape analysis techniques

* Fuzzy set theoretical approaches in image processing, neural
networks, etc.

* Content-based image retrieval and image mining

* Biomedical image analysis and interpretation, including biometric
algorithms such as face recognition and signature
verification

* Remotely sensed images and their applications

* Principles and applications of dynamic scene analysis and moving
object detection and tracking

* Fundamentals of image compression, including the JPEG standard
and the new JPEG2000 standard

Additional features include problems and solutions with each
chapter to help you apply the theory and techniques, as well as
bibliographies for researching specialized topics. With its
extensive use of examples and illustrative figures, this is a
superior title for students and practitioners in computer science,
