Handbook of Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision
Pattern recognition and computer vision and their applications have
experienced enormous progress in research and development over the
last two decades. This comprehensive handbook documents both the
basics and new and advanced results in the field. The chapters,
written by leading experts, cover the major topic areas.
Researchers, students and users of pattern recognition and computer
vision should find the book a valuable reference for help in
understanding the many techniques available, the systems already
developed, as well as the basic principles behind many topic areas.
