Subject: Re: Digital Image Processing Algorithms

I. Pitas, "Digital Image Processing Algorithms", Prentice Hall, 1993

This book presents digital image processing algorithms in a systematic
way, accompanied by a demonstration of their implementation using C code.
Each chapter describes theory, gives and discusses the algorithm in C and
then explains in detail the practical applications of each routine.

The book size is 384 pages and its ISBN number is 0-13-145814-0.
Its price is $53.95 USD and can be ordered by writing to:
