Hello,
I would like to ask if someone of forums users read the book tilted "Digital Video Processing for Engineers: A Foundation for Embedded Systems Design 1st Edition".
Here is link to it in Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Video-Processing-Engineers-Foundation/dp/0124157602

Is this book worth buying?

Thanks in advance

In regard of my past experiences, Newnes Press does not publish academic or Professional grade textbooks.
Such a books should be 150 Euros more or less.I think you'd buy it, if you don't like it, resend..

This books has better raitinngs:

Maybe someone can advice a good book about image/video processing (especially in context of processing video using FPGAs).

What are you specifically trying to learn? The 2nd book appears to be more about compressed video which has generally moved out of fpgas now and into dedicated ip in socs. Raw video still Generally lives in fpgas because of the high bitrates.

Do you have a specific application in mind? 15 years working with video in fpgas, never read a text book.

Hello @TrickyDicky ,

I am especially interested in "Stereo Visual Odometry":

But I am also interested in general "Computer Vision" algorithms (especially in versions easy to process in parallel on FPGAs). So maybe I shuould tell that I am inrterested in two books: one with concepts and general algorithms for image/video processing, and second concentrated on ""Odometry" (mono and stereo).

Best Regards

I'm not really an algorithms guy. I'm usually implementing parts of algorithms written by others, or guiding them to make it more fpga compatible. plus then interfaces that shovel video data Around.

Better get text books that stick to theory of algorithms or good quality vhdl references. Books that mix the two are probably quickly outdated.
