Image techniques have been developed and implemented for various purposes, and image engineering (IE) is a rapidly evolving, integrated discipline comprising the study of all the different branches of image techniques, and encompassing mathematics, physics, biology, physiology, psychology, electrical engineering, computer science and automation. Advances in the field are also closely related to the development of telecommunications, biomedical engineering, remote sensing, surveying and mapping, as well as document processing and industrial applications. IE involves three related and partially overlapping groups of image techniques: image processing (IP) (in its narrow sense), image analysis (IA) and image understanding (IU), and the integration of these three groups makes the discipline of image engineering an important part of the modern information era. This is the first handbook on image engineering, and provides a well-structured, comprehensive overview of this new discipline. It also offers detailed information on the various image techniques. It is a valuable reference resource for R&D professional and undergraduate students involved in image-related activities.

This book describes the methods and algorithms for image pre-processing and recognition. These methods are based on a parallel shift technology of the imaging copy, as well as simple mathematical operations to allow the generation of a minimum set of features to describe and recognize the image. This book also describes the theoretical foundations of parallel shift technology and pattern recognition. Based on these methods and theories, this book is intended to help researchers with artificial intelligence systems design, robotics, and developing software and hardware applications.

It discusses the fundamentals as well as the advances in digital image processing and analysis - both theory and practice - to fulfil the needs of students pursuing courses in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is also considered useful for teachers, professional engineers and researchers. The second edition has three objectives. First, each and every chapter has been modified in the light of recent advances as well as emerging concepts. Second, a good deal of colour image processing has been incorporated. A large number of line drawings and images have been included to make the book student friendly. Third, some new problems have been added in almost all chapters to test the student's understanding of the real-life problems.
