dear comp.graphics and comp.dsp,
i'm soliciting recommendations for favorite image processing texts.
i'm working on an image processing project involving image filtering
and segmentation, and the only book i have is rosenfeld and kak's,
digital picture processing, second edition.
what are other good texts i should be reading?
thanks,
eric

I'm posting rather than mailing since this might be of general interest. A new book: Jae S. Lim, _Two_Dimensiona_Signal_and_Image_Processing_, Prentice Hall, 1990 is comprehensive and up-to-date. Professor Lim is well known at MIT for his outstanding teaching ability (he has won several teaching awards); this ability comes through in the book.

I took digital image processing from Prof. Jain back in 1983 at UC Davis, and we worked from a thick pile of notes. I still have them but I've always wanted to go back and get the final book. It was the first, and one of the best graduate classes I ever took. Later, I heard Dr. Jain was instrumental in helping NASA unscramble the data that was comming back from the Halley's Comet probe. Alas, I heard that he died last year. John S.

"Introduction to Fourier Optics" -- J.W. Goodman, McGraw Hill, 1968 An excellent and fairly rigorous treatment of the mathematics, balanced with a good number of diagrams and photographs. Much of this is pure, but the applied part of it naturally concentrates on holographic processing. I don't find it at all dated, because these are all pretty basic issues. "Optical Information Processing -- Optical Signal Processing, Fourier Optics" Francis T.S. Yu, Wiley Interscience, 1983 Good mathematical coverage, with far more applied material than the Goodman text. This is again holography oriented, nothing digital. "Multidimensional Digital Signal Processing" D.E. Dudgeon, R. M. Mersereau Prentice Hall, 1984 The classic text. Excellent coverage. Details the unique problems faced in N-dimensional DSP that do not arise in 1 dimensional DSP, along with thorough general coverage. "Array Signal Processing", S. Haykin, ed. Prentice Hall, 1985 This covers a lot of ground; chapters are: 1. Introduction 2. Array Processing in Exploration Seismology 3. Sonar Array Processing 4. Radar Array Procesing for Angle of Arrival Estimation 5. Image Reconstruction in Synthesis Radio Telescope Arrays 6. Tomographic Imaging w/ Diffracting & Nondiffracting Sources As you can see, it covers a number of application areas that are rarely dealt with in introductory texts. "Waveforms -- A Modern Guide to Nonsinusoidal Waves & Nonlinear Processes" H.B. Tilton, Prentice Hall, 1986 Although this mostly deals with 1 dimensional functions, still it is the only overview of discontinuous signal processing (relaxation analysis) that I've seen. It fills in the gaps that are pretty much ignored by other DSP & mathematical texts. It introduces the Dirac Delta function early on and treats, for instance, the derivative and integral of e.g. sawtooth waveforms. And is quite readable. The two chapters on 2, 3 & 4 dimensional waveforms do not bear directly on image processing but may provide an interesting different approach to things than is given by Fourier analysis. There are some good books that also cover "digital darkroom" types of image processing, but I don't have them handy to cite. Many people tend to avoid detailed discussions of continuous Fourier optics such as are covered in my first two suggestions, which I think is a mistake, because the issues involved are quite universal and form a good basis of understanding for the DSP issues. I'm still looking for a good treatment of Walsh functions/analysis (any suggestions?)

Harmuth, "Non-sinusoidal Waves for Radar and Radio Communication," Advances in Electronics and Electron Physics, Supplement 14, Academic Press, 1981. ISBN 0-12-014575-8. Like many Academic Press books, be prepared to pay a lot for this gem. It is written by one of the most ardent Hardamard-transform bigots, and contains all sorts of tidbits on Walsh-Hadamard functions. Definitely not a DSP-cookbook manuscript, and probably considered gibberish by those brought up on "Rabiner and Gold;" but definitely can be appreciated by lateral thinkers, even those who have never before encountered synthetic aperture image processing. I am still trying to find a 1977 book by Harmuth called "Sequency Theory - Foundations and Applications." Any ideas, anyone? Folklore heard eons ago: once, when accused of splattering the radio spectrum with Walsh functions, Harmuth turned the table around and accused the Fourier types of "splattering" inside his Walsh-basis space with sinusoidal functions. :-) :-) Regards, Kok Chen kchen@apple.com, KK6DP Apple Computer, Inc.
