1 Introduction
The remaining chapters deal with the theory of digitization (4); coding and
compression (5); enhancement (6); restoration and estimation (7); recon-
struction from projections (8); registration and matching (9); segmentation
into parts (10); representation of parts and geometric property measurement
(11);
and nongeometric properties, picture descriptions, and models for
classes of pictures (12).
The level of treatment emphasizes concepts, algorithms, and (when
necessary) the underlying theory. We do not cover hardware devices for
picture input (scanners), processing, or output (displays); nondigital (e.g.,
optical) processing ...
