Beschreibung
This textbook presents a systematic, mathematically rigorous examination of modern signal processing concepts used in computer vision and image analysis. This is the first reference to employ a single concept: direction tensors, to explore single direction, group direction, corners and edges, and motion estimation. Topics include Hilbert spaces, Fourier transform, scale analysis, direction fields, structure tensor, motion tensor, Hough transform, grouping, and segmentation. The book is richly illustrated with 4-color graphics and applications, including biometric person authentication, texture analysis, optical character recognition, motion estimation and tracking.

Über den Autor
A fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR), Josef Bigun obtained his Ms and Ph.D. degrees from Linkoping University, Sweden, in 1983 and 1988 respectively. In 1988, he joined the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne where he worked as Adjoint Scientifique until 1998 with the exception that in 1997 he was a visiting professor at the Royal Institute of Technology, (KTH) Stockholm. He has been elected professor to the Signal Analysis Chair, his current position, at Halmstad University and Chalmers Institute of Technology in 1998.

He has been in technical and organizational committees of numerous national and international conferences. In particular, he co-chaired the First International Conference on Audio and Video Based Person Authentication in 1997. He has been contributing as a referee or as an editorial board member of international journals including Pattern Recognition Letters and IEEE Image Processing. He has contributed to the initiation and progress of several national and international research projects in computer vision, in particular in biometric person authentication, e.g. the EU projects IT-VIRSBS, ACTS-M2VTS, NOE-BIOSECURE.
