Davies clearly and systematically presents the basic concept of field in highly accessible prose and images, which includes the essential elements of the theory while emphasizing the design of algorithms and practical constraints. Application case studies demonstrate specific techniques and describes the key constraints for designing real-world machine vision systems. Includes solid, accessible coverage of 2-D and 3-D scene analysis. Offering a comprehensive treatment of the Hough Transform-key technique for inspection and supervision. Bring important topics and techniques together in an integrated system design approach. Fully take into account the requirements for real-time processing in real applications.
