Now - the hottest algorithms for specialized image processing are right in your hands

With this accessible cookbook of algorithms, you'll gain access to the most wanted image-processing applications, including morphology, image restoration, and symbol recognition. Throughout these pages, you'll find real-life examples that clearly describe the latest techniques, saving you hours of lengthy mathematical calculations. And all code is also included on the website, so you can experiment with your own ideas and algorithms for organizing and searching image data sets.

This updated edition provides practical solutions so you can:

• Program state-of-the-art image-processing capabilities into software

• Find the steps for taking advantage of classifiers

• Apply 2D vision methods in content-based searches

• Perform edge detection, thinning, thresholding, and morphology

• Link all the computers on your network into a large image-processing cluster

• Program the GPU to do image-processing and vision tasks

• Select the best method for searching through images
