[comp.graphics] looking for a few good books

Howdy,

	usually after christmas I take some gift money and buy some
	important text books.  I am looking for the definitive textbook
	or if not, then a good text book that would introduce me to some
	techniques I know little about.  Please send to me or post to the
	net books on the following subjects:

	1) Regular and custom video related to computers.  
		Last year I worked as a consultant in medical imaging and
		quickly got lost in the various definitional terms and 
		what they meant.  Salesman were of little help since they
		knew less then I.  I needed a good text book that included
		such things as: variations on standard TV video, strengths
		and weaknesses of different camera types, different 
		recording types, different scanner types.

	2) Robot vision 
		I understand there are a host of standard image analysis
		and reconstruction techniques available.  What is a good 
		textbook for someone who is not deep into Electrical
		Engineering but has a good basic math background?

	3) Quantitative Morphology
		Related to robot vision, this field includes a number of
		analysis techniques for describing what is in an image 
		including erosion techniques.  This, of course, relates
		to object modeling as well.

	Any help on these would be appreciated.
	Thanks  mark@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu
