Colleagues,
The English edition of our book is nearly finished. We expect to deliver
the camera ready copy to the publisher before the end of the month. I've
added a spreadsheet, which is updated in real-time based on the SVN archive
of the text, to
http://www.imagingbook.com/ - it shows the current status of
every chapter. As of today, only a single chapter - the whopping 65 page
one on color images - remains to be translated. The preparation of the
English edition has taken longer because first we waited so that it could be
based on the 2nd German edition, and then the specialized vocabulary
necessitated that we translate it ourselves.
About the English edition, excerpted from the preface, full text at
http://imagingbook.com/index.php?id=95This book was translated by the authors from the 2nd German edition
(published in 2006), incorporating many enhancements throughout the text.
In addition to the numerous small corrections and improvements which have
been made, our presentation of histogram matching, geometric region
properties based on moments, morphological filters, and interpolation
methods have been completely revised. Also, a number of example programs,
such as the single-pass region labeling and contour finding algorithm have
been rewritten for improved clarity and to take
advantage of the new language features in Java 5.
Mark and Wilhelm
