Simulation has made possible systems that would otherwise be impracticable. The sophisticated controls in modern aircraft and automobiles, the powerful microprocessors in desktop computers, and space-faring robots are possible because simulations reduce substantially the need for expensive prototypes. These complicated systems are designed...
Color information is gaining an ever-greater importance in digital image processing. Nevertheless, the leap to be mastered by the transition from scalar to vector-valued image functions is not yet generally addressed in most textbooks on digital image processing. The main goal of this book is to clarify the significance of vector-valued color image...
