Product description

Review

'Digital Image Processing succeeds in being an accessible but rigorous first course in the generation and manipulation of medical images. Dougherty moves seamlessly between gamma rays, radiation doses, picture archiving strategies, Boolean logic, Fourier transforms, and applications like mammography and angiography. … The chief strengths … are its clear and well-considered organisation, its accessibility to a wide variety of audiences, and its applicability to an array of imaging modalities and techniques. The book also has wonderful illustrations, particularly of how to enhance images in the spatial and frequency domains.' Perspectives in Biology and Medicine

'This is a book that delivers far more than its title would suggest. The author has succeeded in covering the subject of digital image processing in a way that makes it a valuable reference for those engaged in producing a visual rendering of data gathered from a wide range of sources where the output of instruments is collected and stored by computer … written in a very clear style … an excellent reference work on image processing in the science based applications extending beyond the medical field.' The Imaging Science Journal

'The author states that this book is intended for biomedical engineers, computer scientists, radiological scientists, and physicists. It is my opinion that the quality of this book extends that list to medical physicists, digital artists, digital animators, and art restoration professionals. It also would be appropriate for graduate students in these disciplines who have an interest in the mathematical and computer-based manipulation of all types of imaging … This book is well written, hangs together as a complete work, is coherent, easy to read, and makes good on its claims set forth in the preface and introduction … The examples, illustrations, and chapter constructions are outstanding. The two middle sections of the book are its forte, and the index is useful and complete. This book is a must for anyone going into image processing - period.' William Davros, Medical Physics

''Digital image processing is a vast field. Even applications in medical imaging cover a very wide spectrum of activities. These can range from simple calculations of image profiles to complex CT reconstruction. Geoff Dougherty's book manages to condense the enormous digital image processing toolbox to a level that is ideal for someone with background in medical imaging wishing to explore this field. Getting the level correct is always difficult, but Professor Dougherty's vast teaching experience is clearly evident throughout the book. Relatively simple mathematics is used, but only where necessary. A particularly attractive aspect of the book are the computer-based activities in each chapter which give the reader 'hands-on' image processing experience. It is also an ideal starter textbook for a scientist proposing to specialise in medical image processing; the bibliography is impressive and up to date. It's the book I'd like to have read starting out in medical image processing some twenty-five years ago!' Patrick Kenny, Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Dublin

Geoff Dougherty is a tenured professor at California State University, Channel Islands. He has been teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in image processing and pattern recognition for more than 30 years. He pursues research in medical imaging, including work on bone quality markers for the onset of osteoporosis and tortuosity metrics for retinal blood vessels. He received a prestigious Fulbright Senior Scholarship in 2009, and undertook research at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. He was a Fulbright Specialist in Engineering Education from 2013 to 2018, and a Visiting Expert for The World Academy of Sciences in 2015.

The motivation for writing his first book, Digital Image Processing, was to produce a user-friendly book with practical applications and only the necessary mathematics. Just the sort of text he wished had been available to him thirty years ago. The book has been made available as a softback for the South Asia market, and has also been translated into Korean.

His second book, Medical Image Processing, is an authoritative resource and self-study guide explaining sophisticated techniques of quantitative image analysis for medical applications.

His third book, the widely anticipated Pattern Recognition and Classification: An Introduction, has already made an impact as a gentle, intuitive introduction to an oftentimes over-complicated field.

I have been struggling to find a book that thoroughly explained digital systems in an understandable way. I am hoping this will take me through from 1st year to 3rd.

Well written for the informatics student & the imageJ link with tuts are helpful. Links to some you tube clips may be beneficial though.

So for the price I'm not that upset about this not being as advertised. I just hope it is what I need for my class this semester because if not I will be returning! False advertisement is against the law, I hope these guys know that...

2.0 out of 5 stars are good. Some of the exercises
Reviewed in the United States on 26 March 2016

Difficult to follow. Equations appear without proper explanation. Illustrations supposedly for comparison, look identical.
Exercises, using ImageJ, a java-based open licence program, are good. Some of the exercises, however, fall foul of Java's inbuilt security, and are impossible to run, except by advanced IT personnel.
