About the Book

The Practical Handbook on Image Processing for Scientific Applications is a practical guide for the natural and technical sciences community in image processing. Students, practitioners, and researchers can gain immediate access to a sound basic knowledge of image processing by referencing general principles in the natural sciences. The handbook is organized according to the hierarchy of tasks required. Carefully selected algorithms are described in detail and demonstrated with real-world applications that show the reader how to solve complex image processing tasks.
