"Industrial Image Processing": The Book

Published by Springer-Verlag (Berlin Heidelberg New York), ISBN 3-540-66410-6.
Available direct from Amazon (www.amazon.com) priced US$ 119.00.

This is the definitive book on automatic visual inspection covering industrial and machine vision solutions. In contrast to other digital image processing books on the market, this volume demonstrates how the various methods work together in real-world applications instead of stringing together isolated algorithms and formulas. 

The author's years of experience in developing industrial vision systems resulted in a completely new kind of introduction to the practical application of digital image processing. Treatment throughout the book is based on real-world problems, addressing the industrial practitioner as well as the student interested in modern methods of automated production and quality control. Of course, theory and algorithms are not neglected, but the focus is always on the practical application. 

A demo version of NeuroCheck together with comprehensive image material enables the reader to do his own experiments on real-world images from industrial production. "Actually," said one of the editors, "we wrote the book I would have liked to have get my hands on when I started working in this field."
