Image processing and image analysis are typically important fields in information science and technology. By -image processing-, we generally understand all kinds of operation performed on images (or sequences of images) in order to increase their quality, restore their original content, emphasize some particular aspect of the information or optimize their transmission, or to perform radiometric and/or spatial analysis. By -image analysis- we understand, however, all kinds of operation performed on images (or sequences of images) in order to extract qualitative or quantitative data, perform...

Mathematical Imaging is currently a rapidly growing field in applied mathematics, with an increasing need for theoretical mathematics.

This book, the second of two volumes, emphasizes the role of mathematics as a rigorous basis for imaging sciences. It provides a comprehensive and convenient overview of the key mathematical concepts, notions, tools and frameworks involved in the various fields of gray-tone and binary image processing and analysis, by proposing a large, but coherent, set of symbols and notations, a complete list of subjects and a detailed bibliography. It establishes...
