Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing 

Salient Features: It exactly covers the prescribed syllabus. Nothing undesirable has been included and nothing essential has been left. Unit-wise chapter mapping. Within the text, key terms are highlighted. Numerous examples and illustrations are given that help make it easy to learn some of the more complicated concepts. Adopts algorithmic approach to illustrate image processing. Provides simple explanations to topics such as Shannon-Fano coding, morphological gradient, polygonal approximations, shape number, component labelling. Subject matter in each chapter develops systematically from inceptions.Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing is a fundamental textbook designed to cater to the needs of undergraduate engineering students of computer science, information technology, electronics and Basic Electrical Engineering. The book aims to provide an understanding of the principles and various processing techniques of digital images to further the utility of images. The book strikes a perfect balance between theoretical and mathematical exposition with lots of numerical examples, review questions, numerical exercises, and MATLAB programs.
