Image processing and pattern recognition: fundamentals and techniques

Many fundamental and advanced image processing algorithms and pattern recognition techniques will be presented in this book to illustrate the framework. Itprovides technical assistances and practical tools in understanding and implementing the fundamental principles. The topics include basic image transformations, enhancement and segmentation techniques, multimedia signal processing using mathematical morphology, image representation, feature extraction, active learning, neural networks, fuzzy logic, pattern recognition, face recognition,document classification, image watermarking and steganography, solar image processing, and solar event detection. The principles of image processing and pattern recognition in this book are illustrated with plentiful graphs and examples in order to simplify the problems, so the readers can easily understand complicated theoretical background and applications. This book aims to provide students, researchers, and professionals the technical information regarding image processing and pattern recognition, as well as instruct them the fundamental theoretical framework in developing the extensive advanced techniques. By comprehensively understanding the essential principles of image processing and pattern recognition, the readers can not only easily implement and apply the algorithms and techniques, but also lead themselves into discovering new problems and applications.FRANK Y.
