The Pocket Handbook of Image Processing Algorithms In C
Harley R. Myler, Arthur R. Weeks
Prentice Hall PTR, 1993
Excellent cookbook of image processing algorithms
+ Really Nice Book with a couple of flaws
+ Useful, full of stuff, but old and in some cases wrong...
This book is excellent if you use it as intended - to lift working C code for the implementation of a variety of image processing algorithms. There are even algorithms for computer vision techniques such as circularity, compactness, and finding the minimum or maximum axis. This book assumes that ...

DSP Filter Cookbook (Electronics Cookbook Series)
John Lane
Prompt (DPI - 8/01), 2000
Good for implementation details, go elsewhere for theory
+ easy to write code based on the book's equations
The title for this book may be misleading. Unlike most books on this subject, "DSP Filters" deals with a very specific class of digital filters, the infinite impulse response (IIR) filter. In addition, the IIR filters described are of the "maximally flat" gender. DSP books in general dedicate no ...

Robert Sedgewick
Addison-Wesley Professional, 2003
More Practical for Programmers Than Cormen's
+ A treasure!
+ Excellent book
These text(s) do for the software engineer what Cormen's book does for the scientist. To be knowledgable with algorithms will greatly seperate you from a novice.
Very good examples and using Java is very smart because most OO programmers can easily understand the language (C# is practically ...

It's just amazing how such a 473-page book could cover wide range of AI subjects, and at the same time could deliver easy-to-understand explanations without throwing PhD maths at you. It is just superb how a tech book with minimal math could explain everything!
Every chapter covers one kind of ...

I use this book as a supplement to a class that I teach, as it gives the students the necessary stills to programmatically spider, and generally access, information on the Net. As some of the other reviewers point out, this book does center around the creation of a "bot package". However, I see ...
