Any image processing experts out there?

Trying to pick up image processing the hard way... Reading "Wavelets and Filter Banks" by Strang and Nguyen, but would learn better getting my hands dirty and fooling around with MATLAB. Anyone know a good tutorial online?

i read this book in my image processing class...really well written and has good illustrations and is up to date
linkie
matlab image processing toolbox is the way to go..infact all of the assignments for the course were matlab based.

Thanks. Will check it out. I'm especially interested in perfect reconstruction. Would you happen to know if the books covers this well?

 

[zinkpig]

you mean image reconstruction ? like 3d image reconstruction from 2d ?

More like filter banks with downsampling that you can apply to achieve wavelet decomposition. I've read that you can get good compression by doing this followed by run-length encoding, and are still able to get a perfect reproduction of the original image.

nope bzbee..that book doesnt cover wavelet based image compresion and reconstuction...it is has linear and non linear filtering methods.. i ll ask around
