The book is devoted to image processing techniques with an emphasis on the aspects most used in computer graphics and vision. In the book a conceptual approach is adopted presenting the mathematical concepts and their applications. The book is based on an abstraction paradigm that relates mathematical models with image processing techniques and implementation methods. Such an approach helps a reader to understand a mathematical theory and its practical use. The second edition of the book is extended by five chapters including stochastic image models, as well as applications in computer vision. \par The book reflects the recent trends in science and technology that exploit image processing in computer graphics and vision applications. In sixteen easy-to-follow chapters the following topics are presented: signal processing, data discretization, the theory of color and different color systems, operations on images, multiscale image analysis, image compression, random processes and probabilistic image models, dithering and half-toning, warping and morphing. \par The book is presented in an accessible fashion, with many illustrations and examples. The emphasis is on describing and analyzing underlying concepts rather than on presenting algorithms or discussing optimization questions. It is suitable both as a textbook and as a professional reference for students, researchers and engineers. It is a great starting point for those who want to use computer graphics and vision in research or are interested in the field.
