Image Processing

My web searches have give me some good sites and material to read. They will be in the Links post.
I'd recommend the following readings:

... Digital Image processing by William Pratt
It's an excellent bok for those trying to get into the subject, but looking for a entry. Gives all the basic background one needs, from the Psychophysical Visual properties of an image to Shape and Image analysis, segmentation, feature extraction. It's a kind of protal into the subject and gives a pretty good overview of the subject and its mathematical aspects.

What am I upto these days...

- Virtual Reality with OpenGL and Wireless systems for VR
- Touring Montreal and Canada
- LabVIEW and Virtual Instrmentation
- Image processing
- Novels, books, hobbies, TV, food, etc...
