Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics, Volume 151

The five chapters that make up this volume range over tomography, color image processing, charged particle optics and electron microscopy. We begin with a full and scholarly account of many of the algorithms used for computed tomography, by C. Bontus and T. Kohler. In a second contribution from the same area. G.R. Easley and F. Coloima provide a very learned account of the generalized discrete Radon transform.

The introduction of color is a major complication of image processing and few of the traditional tools can be transferred immediately from black-and-white images to color images. L. Busin, N. Vandenbroucke and L. Macaire describe the notion of color spaces and then examine hi considerable detail the problem of segmentation of color images.

Charged particle optics is still very much a developing subject, as the chapter by T. Radlicka shows.

Finally, V. Randle provides an account of recent developments in electron backscatter diffraction, a subject on which she is an acknowledged expert.
