Negative Positive
Title: Alas, the book was oversold..
Review: :The general feeling I had after reading the book was that of a disappointment. Overloaded with handbook information on image encoding, compression algorithms etc., the book lacked substance in vision algorithm applications. Expanded IMAQ manual it is, a good book on applications of IMAQ vision algorithms it is not.Espessially disappointing was section on DICOM: whole 4 pages with 2 pages of illustration, promulgating third party software, with not much to offer.The book describes what image analysis algorithms do to image; it does not give hints when we want to use/try what algorithm.It appeared to me the author was more concerned with money making than with writing a decent text.The book can be probably useful for the very beginners, as a substitution for poorly written IMAQ manual. Again, then they should not worry of a minor issue of $70 price tag..
