I just heard that the 2nd edition of Digital Image Processing Using MATLAB just shipped from the printer! Hurray! Now I'm using the satellite view in Google Maps to see if I can find the... read more >>

My colleague Greg Wilson, creator of the course Software Carpentry, proposed a couple of programming problems as prerequisites for the course. The idea is that if you can solve the problems... read more >>

Today, in part 5 of my series on computing the US continental divide, we'll look at a technique called minima imposition. Previously we looked at data import and display, the watershed transform... read more >>

A few years ago we introduced the Image Tool for image viewing, navigation, pixel-value display, cropping, etc. Here's a screen shot: The window on the left is called the "Overview... read more >>

Welcome to part 4 of my series on computing the US continental divide. Previously we looked at data import and display, the watershed transform and label matrices, and different kinds of... read more >>

In the previous post in this series on computing the US continental divide, we used the watershed function to find catchment basins in a DEM (digital elevation model). The result was more than... read more >>

Some blog readers may know that I've been giving a presentation called "Take Control of Your Code" for a couple of years now, since the 2006 International Conference on Image Processing in Atlanta.... read more >>

This post is the second in my series on computing the location of the US continental divide. Today I'm going to look at the watershed transform, including how to compute and visualize it... read more >>

Today I'm introducing a series on computing the location of the US continental divide. (I was inspired to tackle this topic by Brian Hayes' blog post on the divide; thanks very much to... read more >>

For the past several releases, we have been incrementally making more of the computational routines in MATLAB multithreaded. (More recently, we've also started doing this in the Image... read more >>
