Computer vision and applications : a guide for students and practitioners / editors, Bernd Jähne, Horst Haussecker.

"Based on the highly successful 3-volume reference Handbook of Computer Vision and Applications [1999], this concise edition covers in a single volume the entire spectrum of computer vision ranging from the imaging process to high-end algorithms and applications. This book consists of three parts, including an application gallery, and is accompanied by an interactive CD-ROM."--General description from the publisher's information.
