{"product_id":"volumetric-image-analysis-isbn-9780471967859","title":"Volumetric Image Analysis","description":"\u003cp\u003eVolumetric, or three-dimensional, digital imaging now plays a vital role in many areas of research such as medicine and geology. Medical images acquired by tomographic scanners for instance are often given as a stack of cross-sectional image slices. Such images are called 'volumetric' because they depict objects in their entire three-dimensional extent rather than just as a projection onto a two-dimensional image plane. Since huge amounts of volumetric data are continually being produced in many places around the world, techniques for their automatic analysis become ever more important. Written by a computer vision specialist, this clear, detailed account of volumetric image analysis techniques provides a practical approach to the field including the following topics:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003epreprocessing of volumetric images\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eobtaining quantitative measurements in volumetric images\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edetection and modelling of objects in volumetric images\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo students without prior knowledge of computer vision this book will serve as a self-contained comprehensive introduction.
