About the Book

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
