Books in the Computational Imaging and Vision series

This is the first comprehensive introduction to the multidisciplinary field of natural image statistics. It offers a clear overview of all the basic theory plus the most recent developments and research, and it includes exercises and computer assignments.

It should be noted, however, that the new subtitle of the present volume may be somewhat misleading, since this book also treats (in Chapters 10 and 11) moire effects between repetitive layers, which are, in fact, geometric transformations of periodic layers, that are generally no longer periodic in themselves.

The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is an extremely useful tool that finds application in many different disciplines.

Shape Reconstruction from Apparent Contours

Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) is a combination of computer graphics and computer vision that produces renderings in various artistic, expressive or stylized ways such as painting and drawing.
