Description
This practical handbook provides a broad overview of the major elements of pattern recognition and image processing (PRIP). Currently
the only handbook in the field, it is designed as a source of "quick answers" for those interested in the theoretical development and
practical applications of PRIP techniques.
Twenty years of research, development, and innovations in applications are documented in
this comprehensive work. Written by leading researchers in the field, chapters deal with
statistical and syntactic pattern recognition
feature selection and extraction
cluster analysis
image enhancement and restoration
shapes, texture, and motion
computer vision
computer systems and architectures for image processing and various industrial and biomedical applications.
Engineers, computer scientists,
other professionals, and students interested in applying PRIP techniques will find the Handbook of Pattern Recognition and Image Processing
to be an invaluable reference source.
Audience:
Audience: Computer scientists in artificial intelligence, data processing and information retrieval, programming, logic design, and computer
graphics; electronics engineers; medical physicists; control engineers; physicists in methodology and instrumentation; earth and space
scientists in remote sensing; and analytical chemists.
