Multidimensional Signal, Image, and Video Processing and Coding
$92.95
Woods gives a mathematically intensive course in the theory of processing of 2 dimensional images and of video. Roughly the first half of the book is on image processing. Discrete Fourier transforms constitute a large part of this narrative. Space is also given to image reconstruction and enhancement. Not enough room in the book to really cover that thoroughly, but Woods does an ample job of showing simple and effective methods of enhancement.

The second part of the book talks about video processing. And the various encodings possible or necessary, in order to reduce storage to some reasonable size.
