NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT 3-D IMAGE PROCESSING ALGORITHMS NIKOS NIKOLAIDIS, Ph.D. IOANNIS PITAS, Ph.D. Senior Researcher, Professor, Department of Informatics Department of Informatics Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Aristotle University of Thessaloniki CONTENTS Introduction Volume Filtering 3-D Discrete Fourier Transform and its Applications Topological and Geometrical Features of 3-D Objects Region Segmentation and Edge Detection Skeletonization and Registration Visualization EIKONA3D: A 3-D Image Processing Package This authoritative guide presents and explains numerous 3-D image processing, analysis, and visualization techniques, including volume filtering, interpolation, 3-D discrete Fourier transform, evaluation of topological and geometrical features, region segmentation and edge detection, skeletonization and registration, and visualization. Necessary theoretical background is provided for each topic, along with a number of algorithms, selected on the basis of their acceptance by the scientific community. The presentation of each technique includes a commented implementation, either in C code or in C-like pseudocode. This combination of theoretical treatment and C code implementation allows readers to gain a thorough insight into these techniques. Based on the author's long experience in research and teaching of 2-D/3-D image processing, 3-D Image Processing Algorithms is an indispensable resource for electrical, computer and biomedical engineers, as well as computer graphics professional and programmers. Important features of 3-D Image Processing Algorithms include: * A demo version of EIKONA3D 3-D image processing software. * Lab exercises based on EIKONA3D. *Accompanying transparencies summarizing the most important topics. EIKONA3D software can be downloaded from http://www.alphatecltd.com Order the book online from the following websites: http://www.wiley.com http://www.amazon.com Hardcover - 200 pages (October 2000) John Wiley & Sons; ISBN: 0471377368 SEE ALSO: DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS With the field of digital image processing rapidly expanding, there is a growing need for a book that would go beyond theory to address the underlying algorithms. IOANNIS PITAS, Ph.D. Professor in the Department of Informatics Aristotle University of Thessaloniki This book presents digital image processing algorithms and applications in a systematic way. It's accompanied by a demonstration of their implementation in C code, multimedia material (PDF transparencies), lab exercises and EIKONA, a digital image processing software. Each chapter describes the theory, gives and discusses the algorithm and then explains in detail the practical applications of each of them.
