"Praise for the previous edition. . . If you are getting involved in machine vision and want to avoid the pain and suffering of your predecessors, buy this book. . .. [This book] is a long needed general reference for the machine vision consumer. The clear and to the point technical discussions have just enough meat that the important problems encountered by the end user can be addressed. . ..many designers of machine vision applications could benefit from this book as a general reference beyond their expertise areas. . .. recommended." ---Applied Mechanics Review
