Digital Image Processing using Matlab

Digital Image Processing Using MATLAB is the first book that provides a balanced treatment of image processing fundamentals and the software principles used in their practical implementation. The book integrates material from the leading text, Digital Image Processing by Gonzalez and Woods, and the Image Processing Toolbox of the MathWorks. Inc., a recognized leader in scientific computing. The Image Processing Toolbox provides a stable, well-supported set of software tools for addressing a broad range of applications in digital image processing. A unique feature of this hook is its emphasis on showing how to enhance those tools by the development of new code. This is important in image processing, where there is a need for extensive experimental work in order to arrive at acceptable problem solutions.

After an introduction to the fundamentals of MATLAB programming, the book addresses the mainstream areas of image processing. Areas covered include intensity transformations, linear and nonlinear spatial filtering, filtering in the frequency domain, image restoration and registration, color image processing, wavelets, image data compression, morphological image processing, image segmentation, regions and boundary representation and description, and object recognition.
Some Highlights

* The book is self-contained.
* Over 60 new image processing functions are developed—a 35% increase over the comprehensive set of functions in the Image Processing Toolbox.
* A fully documented listing of every new function developed is included in the book.
* Using C code with MATLAB is covered in detail.
* There are 114 examples, over 400 images, and over 150 graphs and line drawings that enhance the discussion of the material.
* All MATLAB, Image Processing Toolbox, and new functions used in the book, are conveniently summarized in an appendix.
* The design of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) is covered in detail.
* A book web site provides complimentary support.

Jet Regional Pertama Buatan China Lakukan Terbang Perdana

Beijing (ANTARA News) - Jet regional pertama China yang dikembangkannya sendiri, ARJ21-700, merampungkan uji terbang perdananya Jumat di Shanghai, kantor berita Xinhua melaporkan. 

Diluncurkan pada Desember tahun lalu, pesawat dengan kapasitas 90 penumpang bernama "Xiang Feng" atau "Burung Api Terbang" itu mendarat dengan selamat setelah terbang selama sejam, tulis Xinhua dalam laman internet miliknya. 

"Jet tersebut tak mengalami gangguan apa-apa dan penerbangan berlangsung mulus," kata salah satu dari tiga pilot di dalam pesawat dengan jangkauan terbang maksimum
3.700 kilometer dan ketinggian maksimum 11.900 meter itu.

Dalam penerbangan perdana ini ARJ21-700 hanya terbang pada ketinggian 900 meter. 

Pesanan untuk ARJ21-700 hingga sejauh ini telah mencapai 208 pesawat, termasuk 25 pesawat oleh GE Commercial Aviation Services dari AS. Penyerahan pesawat akan dimulai kurang dari 18 bulan. 

China saat ini mampu memperoduksi 20 ARJ-21 per tahun, lapor Xinhua. 

ARJ21, yang merupakan kependekan Advanced Regional Jet for for 21st Century atau Jet Regional Canggih untuk Abad 21, dijual dengan harga 27 juta dolar, 10 persen lebih murah ketimbang jet Bombardier yang berkapasitas 90 kursi. (*)

Unleashing Web 2.0: From Concepts to Creativity

“The most exciting aspect of this current era of the Web, which has come to be known as Web 2.0, is that everything is read/write. Whether it’s people communicating and sharing content with each other on social network sites like YouTube and Facebook, or computers talking to each using web services, or people personalizing their news using RSS and blogs, Web 2.0 is a two-way experience - it’s no longer a one-way, broadcast model as it was in the Dot Com era of the Web. Dr. Gottfried Vossen and Stephen Hagemann have very clearly explained this transition to the new read/write era of the Web, and they paint a picture of how it might progress to the next stage via Semantic Web and other technologies. This book will help you understand the ongoing evolution of the Web, and push you to create applications that take advantage of the read/write Web.”

Richard MacManus, Editor, Read/WriteWeb (http://www.readwriteweb.com)

Book Description
The first book to give a complete view of Web 2.0 standards and technology.
