Just as the title reads, this is a Practical Introduction to digital image processing (DIP), that is, you will not find all the theory here, and the study of images will be mostly practical: with programs, what would be a good point or not, depending on you.

The CD is a very nice complement for the book, but a couple of programs just don't run as expected, and you might want to check the code to find the error or to use the code just as a reference to write your own Java classes. I have checked just part of the code and the problems do not seem a matter of deprecated classes or the like. You can find some errata searching in the Internet, but not much at time of this writing (June 2002).

You must read the book in front of your computer, to run the classes. The book sometimes doesn't tell you all about the classes available in the CD.

Always remember, the book tries to teach you DIP *using* Java, not DIP *and* Java. If you are not confident of your level of Java, try another book first. If you know about DIP and want to study further, try a book that is more specific on such subject.

This book is NOT for you if
- you are a beginner in Java
- you need to study DIP exhaustively

This book is for you if
- you have experience programming in Java
- you need basic and general concepts about DIP
