Introduction to Visual Computing: Core Concepts in Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing

This book covers the fundamental concepts of visual computing. Whereas past books have treated these concepts within the context of specific fields such as computer graphics, computer vision or image processing, this book offers a unified view of these core concepts, thereby providing a unified treatment of computational and mathematical methods for creating, capturing, analyzing and manipulating digital images. Fundamentals covered in the book include convolution, Fourier transform, filters, geometric transformations, epipolar geometry, color and the image synthesis pipeline.
