In recent years, Moore's law has fostered the steady growth of the field of digital image processing, though the computational complexity remains a problem for most of the digital image processing applications. In parallel, the research domain of optical image processing has matured, potentially bypassing the problems digital approaches were suffering and bringing new applications. The advancement of technology calls for applications and knowledge at the intersection of both areas but there is a clear knowledge gap between the digital signal processing and the optical processing communities. This book covers the fundamental basis of the optical and image processing techniques by integrating contributions from both optical and digital research communities to solve current application bottlenecks, and give rise to new applications and solutions. Besides focusing on joint research, it also aims at disseminating the knowledge existing in both domains. Applications covered include image restoration, medical imaging, surveillance, holography, etc...
"a very good book that deserves to be on the bookshelf of a serious student or scientist working in these areas."

Review :
“The book instead serves as an excellent reference. It could be used as an adjunct to a standard textbook, or as a source for further reading and research project ideas. Overall, this is a very good book that deserves to be on the bookshelf of a serious student or scientist working in these areas.” (Optics and Photonics News, 29 June 2012)
