Customer Review: After reading "Pattern Recognition using Neural Networks" written by the same author, I was expecting a book of the same league: strong emphasis on the conceptual foundations, and a distillation of the great ideas of a field that is enjoying a great deal of research. However, I was greatly... more info
Customer Review: This book is an instant classic. The material covered is similar to what you would see in a basic Discrete Mathematics course, with some electrical engineering and computer org & design thrown in. However, unlike those courses (which can be dry and boring at times) the author makes the material... more info
Customer Review: This book is quite good if you are interested in NLP.
If the could author provide a CD with some demos,source codes and applications, it, the reader can understand the contend in this book easier.
This course is really realy difficult.
Customer Review: I received the fourth printing a few weeks ago. It is missing pages 177-208. That includes all of chapter seven, on camera calibration. Ridiculous.
Customer Review: This book focuses on introducing digital image processing using this programming language ImageJ. This distinguishes the book from basically all other text books in imaging I am aware of.
On the web site [...] additional information (source code, images) can be found.

Customer Review: Clear and simple book, goes right to the guts. One minus is sloppy code. It's written by a scientist who is not a programmer. Implementations are slow and sometimes inaccurate. For example, function nays8 counts 0's in one thinning algorithm. Function snays count 0's in another thinnnig algorithm,... more info
Customer Review: This might be a good "primer" for those interested in a quick survey/overview of lots of topics. For those with some experience, it probably won't seem insightful -- or even useful. I've already given my copy away. It just doesn't add knowledge, or anything else, that will make a practicing visual... more info
Customer Review: I really liked this book. However, I use it for vision issues as they relate to robotics rather than as an introductory text on 3D vision. If a general or introductory textbook on 3D computer vision is what you desire, then you might be better off with "Multiple View Geometry in Computer Vision" by... more info
Customer Review: This book does spend some time on Java 2D and 3D, but not so much as to be a book about those technologies. Instead there is just enough so that the author can focus on the real subject of the book - computer graphics techniques. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 cover fundamental aspects of the last part of the... more info
Customer Review: Shapiro's "Computer Vision" is an excellent book for someone looking for an introductory text in the field. The book is well structured and introduces fundamental concepts first, then uses these concepts to build on advanced approaches. The book assumes some knowledge of mathematics in linear... more info
