Intelligent Machine Vision

Intelligent Machine Vision: Techniques, Implementations & Applications brings together the central issues involved in this exciting and topical subject.

Drawing on half a century of combined experience, the authors describe state of the art and the latest developments in the field, including:

- fundamentals of 'intelligent' image processing, specifically intended for Machine Vision systems;

- algorithm optimization;

- implementation in high-speed electronic digital hardware;

- implementation in an integrated high-level software environment;

- applications for industrial product quality and process control.

There are hundreds of illustrations in the book, most of them created using the author's 'PIP' software - a sophisticated intelligent image processing package.

A demonstration version of this software, as well as numerous examples from the book, are available at the authors' Web site: http://bruce.cs.cf.ac.uk/bruce/index.html
