Software Engineering for Image Processing Systems

Image processing systems are found everywhere-in digital cameras, photocopying systems, scanners, video games, medical and industrial imaging systems, and military applications, to name but a few examples. It has become apparent that a software engineering book devoted to image processing applications is long overdue.Software Engineering for Image Processing Systems creates a modern engineering framework for the specification, design, coding, testing, and maintenance of image processing software and systems. The text is designed to benefit not only software engineers, but also the many workers with backgrounds in mathematics, the physical sciences, or other engineering disciplines, who find themselves working on a software project team.The author classifies imaging software as its own distinct caste, thereby providing a common language and framework for imaging engineers of all backgrounds. This common framework could, in turn, lead to more robust, reliable, and economical software throughout the imaging industry.With qualifying course adoptions, a set of 200 power point slides designed for classroom use is available for download from the Internet.
