Quaternion and Octonion Color Image Processing with MATLAB

The main goal of Quaternion and Octonion Color Image Processing with MATLAB is to provide the mathematics of quaternions and octonions and to show how they can be used in these burgeoning areas of color image processing. Color image processing has attracted much interest in recent years, motivated by its use in many fields. Myriad uses include its application to object recognition and tracking, image segmentation and retrieval, image registration, multimedia systems, fashion and food industries, computer vision, entertainment, consumer electronics, production printing and proofing, digital photography, biometrics, digital artwork reproduction, industrial inspection, and biomedical applications. Topics of this book include complex and hypercomplex numbers, color images as 2-D grayscale images, and color image enhancement and QDFT. MATLAB is used to illustrate examples throughout the book.
