Variational Methods in Image Processing

"The book's contents are very well prepared for graduate-level students or advanced undergraduates who work in the field of mathematical image processing and computer vision. The book is also an indispensable resource for engineers and professionals in the image processing industry looking to adopt innovative concepts. Compared to existing textbooks, this one offers a useful view as it covers the fundamentals and many specific applications together in one place, balancing the traditional computational models with the more modern techniques developed to answer new challenges introduced by the new image acquisition devices."
-Dr. Jalal Fadili, Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Ingenieurs de Caen

"... very educational ... a useful source of reference and inspiration for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in applied mathematics and/or computer vision as well for academic researchers or engineers from the image processing industry."
-Gilles Aubert, Professor of Mathematics, University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis

"This book will be immensely useful both as a reference and textbook, as it presents the fundamentals of variational methods in image processing. It covers all aspects of variational methods in image processing, with essential applications. Homework problems are also given at the end of each chapter. This book could be used as a textbook for a graduate course on variational methods in image processing. It will also be a reference book to researchers in the field."
-Jean-Francois Aujol, Professor of Mathematics, University of Bordeaux

"This book is a must-have for students and researchers working in mathematical image analysis, in particular on segmentation problems. It covers in a pedagogical way the mathematical foundations, classical convex and non-convex segmentation methods, as well as more advanced subjects such as non-local regularizations. This book also features a lot of graphical illustrations and pseudo-codes of algorithms. It showcases several concrete applications to medical imaging, and the availability of the corresponding MATLAB code is a great feature."
-Gabriel Peyre, CNRS Senior Researcher, Universite Paris-Dauphine

"Written by two world specialists of image segmentation, this book is the most complete account to date of the amazing applications of partial differential equations to image processing. Being provided with code and exercises, I found that it provides an excellent pedagogic introduction to the subject."
-Jean-Michel Morel, Professor, Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan
