Editorial Reviews

A textbook for a one-quarter course for seniors or first-year graduate students in computer or electrical engineering or computer or imaging science. Assumes only the normal mathematics of those fields at that level. Based largely on research at the Xerox Corporation, focuses on the handling of two-dimensional data in computers, faxes, and networks. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
