This book is intended for beginners in the field who would like to understand the basic concepts of digital image processing and apply them in programming some fundamental digital image processing algorithms. It is our assumption that the reader has some background in programming including the basics of C and C++. The book is of practical nature, and the fundamental concepts of image processing discussed in each chapter are showcased with demo programs. The reader is encouraged to understand and run these programs as well as create similar programs proposed in the book.

The book consists of ten chapters. The book begins with the introduction to image concept, classification of images, and various image formats. Then, it follows up with Chaps. introduce more complex image processing problems and their solutions including lossless image compression and similarity-based image retrieval.

When completing these chapters and related programming examples, the reader will be able to understand and write some exciting image processing applications. Lastly, Chaps. were completed by students as part of Introduction to Image and Video Processing class at Florida Atlantic University taught in Spring 2018.
