This book explains why the finite topological space known as abstract cell complex is important for successful image processing and presents image processing methods based on abstract cell complex, especially for tracing and encoding of boundaries of homogeneous regions. Many examples are provided in the book, some teach you how to trace and encode boundaries in binary, indexed and colour images. Other examples explain how to encode a boundary as a sequence of straight-line segments which is important for shape recognition. A new method of edge detection in two- and three-dimensional images is suggested. Also, a discussion problem is included in the book: A derivative is defined as the limit of the relation of the increment of the function to the increment of the argument as the latter tends to zero. Is it not better to estimate derivatives as the relation of the increment of the function to the optimal increment of the argument instead of taking exceedingly small increment which leads to errors? This book addresses all above questions and provide the answers.

Summary Based on the experiences of past designs and the outcome of recent studies in the comparisons of low-level image processing architectures, a pipelined system for real time low-image processing has been designed and realized in CMOS technology. To minimize design pitfalls, a study was performed to the details of the design solutions that have been found in embodimentsof the three main architectural groups of image processing; the Square Processor Arrays, the Linear Processor Arrays and the Pipelines. This is reflected in a theoretical model. As the design is based on bitplane-wise processing of images, research was performed on the principles ofCellularLogic Processing of two dimensional images. of binary A methodology has been developed that is based on the transformation images using sets of Hit-or-Miss masks. This method appeared to be extendable to higher dimensional images. A theoretical model for the generation of break-point conditions in high dimensional images has been developed, and applied up to dimension three.

This book treats theoretical problems of digital image pro- cessing. Voss uses the discrete nature of digital images as the basis for contructing appropriate mathematical models like n-dimensional incidence structures, lattices, and dis- crete functions. Presenting the results from this point of view has the important advantage that they can be used di- rectly in practical image processing. Voss presents the results of his own research and has col- lected other relevant and up-to-date material from the jour- nals in this field. His treatment of n-dimensional incidence structures is a generalisation of the currently used two-di- mensional theory in image processing. There are numerous new results e.g. on similarity of digital objects, n-dimensional surfacedetection, and inversion of convolution equations. Voss' book is an indispensable source of information to all those who are involved in the design, implementation, and application of mathematically sound algorithms in image pro- cessing; it is written for engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists.
