Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of modern image analysis. With the development of the theory of morphology, high performance computers, inexpensive, high quality digital cameras, and digitizing boards, image analysis is coming into its own. This book presents the theory of morphology applied to image analysis. The image analyzers have 2 advantages, they don't tire, and they work best with numerical image descriptors (not words). However, numbers can lend an air of superiority to the image analyzer that may be inappropriate and unjustified. The limitation of available image analyzers is obvious to any knowledgeable user. Most current instruments appear technically sophisticated, but their analytical capability is limited and flawed, because they have no theoretical underpinning. They lack the theory of morphology. To develop the technology of image analysis further, the capability of measuring shape or morphology has to be exploited in the next generation of image analysis instruments using the theory of morphology. If we measure the shape or morphology of an object, the results obtained can include size, shape, symmetry, roughness, aspect ratio, and microroughness numbers. This book is about these numbers and how to derive them, not just any numbers but the right numbers that would result if your image analyzer performed morphological analysis.

Download or read book Advances in Image Analysis Research written by Roger M. Echon and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary goal of this book is to provide students and practitioners in the field of image analysis with cohesive information and innovative (novel) techniques compiled from independent peer-reviewed studies across the globe. Image analysis is a multi-disciplinary subject that covers expansive subjects on photography, optics, physics, mathematics, software engineering, electronics, computer science, and information technology. The integration of these multi-disciplinary studies became the foundations of specialised and emerging fields, such as medical imaging, machine vision, image processing, and computer graphics. The term image analysis deals with the process of extracting features from digital images and analysing these extracted features into measurable parameters. Therefore, image analysis is composed of three integrated parts: a device that transform electromagnetic energy into an image (i.e. photography); a method of extracting features from an image (image processing); and an analytical method that measures extracted parameters (mathematics). Although a number of books and publications are available in the study of image analysis, no true integration is available that provides a singular reference to tie in the foundation of each subject into a unified format. The overarching aim of this book is to fill these gaps and describe each contributing discipline into the science of image analysis. Consequently, this book is presented into three unified sections.

Download or read book Pottery Analysis Second Edition written by Prudence M. Rice and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as a single pot starts with a lump of clay, the study of a piece’s history must start with an understanding of its raw materials. This principle is the foundation of Pottery Analysis, the acclaimed sourcebook that has become the indispensable guide for archaeologists and anthropologists worldwide. By grounding current research in the larger history of pottery and drawing together diverse approaches to the study of pottery, it offers a rich, comprehensive view of ceramic inquiry. This new edition fully incorporates more than two decades of growth and diversification in the fields of archaeological and ethnographic study of pottery. It begins with a summary of the origins and history of pottery in different parts of the world, then examines the raw materials of pottery and their physical and chemical properties. It addresses ethnographic and ethnoarchaeological perspectives on pottery production; reviews the methods of studying pottery’s physical, mechanical, thermal, mineralogical, and chemical properties; and discusses how proper analysis of artifacts can reveal insights into their culture of origin. Intended for use in the classroom, the lab, and out in the field, this essential text offers an unparalleled basis for pottery research.
Download or read book Morphological Image Analysis written by Pierre Soille and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is self-contained in the sense that it is accessible to engineers, scientists, and practitioners having no prior experience with morphology. In addition, most necessary background notions about digital image processing are covered. The emphasis being put on the techniques useful for solving practical problems rather than the theory underlying mathematical morphology, no special knowledge about set theory and topology is required. Nevertheless, the book goes well beyond an introduction to mathematical morphology. Indeed, starting from the fundamental transformations, more elaborate methods which have proven their practical usefulness are explained. This is achieved through a step by step process pursued until the most recent advances.

Download or read book Image Analysis written by Donat P. Hader and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-08-23 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automatic image analysis has become an important tool in many fields of biology, medicine, and other sciences. Since the first edition of Image Analysis: Methods and Applications, the development of both software and hardware technology has undergone quantum leaps. For example, specific mathematical filters have been developed for quality enhancement of original images and for extraction of specific features of interest. Also, more complex programs have been developed for the analysis of object forms in distinguishing cancer cells from normal tissue cells. Just as significant, three-dimensional analysis of proteins, organelles, or macroscopic objects is even more complex. In addition, recent space-based experiments have optimized techniques for the extraction of movement parameters of numerous motile objects. The second edition of Image Analysis: Methods and Applications addresses all these new developments. Moreover, two new chapters have been added. One focuses on images on the internet, and the other discusses microscope image restoration. These chapters add significantly to the existing body of information on Internet communication protocol and environment as well as to that on image file formats considerations. The materials also include a list of internet Web sites that pertain to digital images and software along with those that relate to image processing. With these considerations in mind, Image Analysis: Methods and Application, Second Edition is of incalculable value to professionals, academics, and users of all aspects of image analysis in biology and other areas of science.
