Image Processing for Cinema presents a detailed overview of image processing techniques that are used in practice in digital cinema. The book shows how image processing has become ubiquitous in movie-making, from shooting to exhibition. It covers all the ways in which image processing algorithms are used to enhance, restore, adapt, and convert movi

Learn about state-of-the-art digital image processing without the complicated math and programming… You don’t have to be a preeminent computer scientist or engineer to get the most out of today’s digital image processing technology. Whether you’re working in medical imaging, machine vision, graphic arts, or just a hobbyist working at home, this book will get you up and running in no time, with all the technical know-how you need to perform sophisticated image processing operations. Designed for end users, as well as an introduction for system designers, developers, and technical managers, this book doesn’t bog you down in complex mathematical formulas or lines of programming code. Instead, in clear down-to-earth language supplemented with numerous example images and the ready-to-run digital image processing program on the enclosed disk, it schools you, step-by-step, in essential digital image processing concepts, principles, techniques, and technologies. Disk contains sample image files and a ready-to-run digital image processing program that lets you do as you learn detailed step-by-step guides to the most commonly used operations, including references to real-world applications and implementations hundreds of before and after images that help illustrate all the operations described comprehensive coverage of current hardware and the best methods for acquiring, displaying, and processing digital images

Computer Imaging: Digital Image Analysis and Processing brings together analysis and processing in a unified framework, providing a valuable foundation for understanding both computer vision and image processing applications. Taking an engineering approach, the text integrates theory with a conceptual and application-oriented style, allowing you to immediately understand how each topic fits into the overall structure of practical application development. Divided into five major parts, the book begins by introducing the concepts and definitions necessary to understand computer imaging. The second part describes image analysis and provides the tools, concepts, and models required to analyze digital images and develop computer vision applications. Part III discusses application areas for the processing of images, emphasizing human visual perception. Part IV delivers the information required to apply a CVIPtools environment to algorithm development. The text concludes with appendices that provide supplemental imaging information and assist with the programming exercises found in each chapter. The author presents topics as needed for understanding each practical imaging model being studied. This motivates the reader to master the topics and also makes the book useful as a reference. The CVIPtools software integrated throughout the book, now in a new Windows version, provides practical examples and encourages you to conduct additional exploration via tutorials and programming exercises provided with each chapter.

Examines These Aspects of Computer Based Systems Used to Process Image Data (Graphics): Design, Implementation & Maintenance.

Explores how film analysis can take account of the presence of digital images in cinema. Not just for digital effects enthusiasts, this book is essential for anyone interested in how to approach film critically: it is a toolbox for contemporary film analy

Written as an introduction for undergraduate students, this textbook covers the most important methods in digital image processing. Formal and mathematical aspects are discussed at a fundamental level and various practical examples and exercises supplement the text. The book uses the image processing environment ImageJ, freely distributed by the National Institute of Health. A comprehensive website supports the book, and contains full source code for all examples in the book, a question and answer forum, slides for instructors, etc. Digital Image Processing in Java is the definitive textbook for computer science students studying image processing and digital processing.

This long-established and well-received monograph offers an integral view of image processing - from image acquisition to the extraction of the data of interest – written by a physical scientists for other scientists. Supplements discussion of the general concepts is supplemented with examples from applications on PC-based image processing systems and ready-to-use implementations of important algorithms. Completely revised and extended, the most notable extensions being a detailed discussion on random variables and fields, 3-D imaging techniques and a unified approach to regularized parameter estimation. Complete text of the book is now available on the accompanying CD-ROM. It is hyperlinked so that it can be used in a very flexible way. CD-ROM contains a full set of exercises to all topics covered by this book and a runtime version of the image processing software heurisko. A large collection of images, image sequences, and volumetric images is available for practice exercises
