Two-dimensional digital signal processing I. Linear filters (Q1066110)

The purpose of this book and its companion [see the review below] is to provide in-depth treatments of three of the most important classes of digital techniques for solving image processing problems: linear filters, transforms, and median filtering. These two books are related but can be used independently. In the first part, major recent results in the design of two-dimensional nonrecursive and recursive filters, stability testing, and Kalman filtering (with applications to image enhancement and restoration) are presented. Among the highlights are the discussions on the design and stability testing of half-plane recursive filters, a topic of great current interest. The chapters are tutorial in nature, yet they bring the readers to the very forefront of current research. The treatment will be useful as a reference book for working scientists and engineers, and as a supplementary textbook for regular or short courses on digital signal processing, image processing, and digital filtering.
