Image Processing Handbook covers methods for two different  purposes:     improving the visual appearance of images to a human viewer    preparing images for measurement of the features and structures present      The handbook presents an extensive collection of image processing tools,  enabling the user of computer-based system to understand those methods  provided in packaged software and to program additions needed for  particular applications. Comparisons are presented of different algorithms  that may be used for similar purposes, including a selection of  representative pictures from light and electron microscopes as well as  macroscopic, satellite, and astronomical images.     Image Processing Handbook examines the rapid, powerful developments in  graphic information, covering the array of concepts and techniques in  high-end imaging software.  With balanced, complete descriptions, the text  outlines frequency space methods with extensive mathematical presentation  and spatial domain processing requiring only a modest technical background  in mathematics or computers.     The thrust of the book remains teaching by example: By seeing what various  operations do to representative images, the reader will discover how and  why to use them. Image Processing Handbook encourages the reader to use  its information with a real source of images and a computer-based system  as well as to freely experiment with different methods to determine the  most appropriate for his or her particular needs.     To facilitate the learning process, Reindeer Games in Charlotte, NC offers  The Image Processing Tool Kit a CD-ROM containing more than 150 images and  more than 150 Photoshop(r)-compatible plug-ins that implement the  algorithms discussed.     This revision of the established standard acts as a singular resource for  professionals in the medical, biological, and materials sciences as well  as a range of engineering venues, including electrical and computer  engineering, optical engineering, telecommunications, and artificial  intelligence.      What's New in the Third Edition?
