Comparative review of image processing and computer vision textbooks

This paper gives a comparative overview of ten of the currently available computer vision and image processing textbooks. These texts differ significantly in their coverage, scope, approach, and target audience. Because of the multi-disciplinary nature of this field, it is important to select a textbook that takes advantage of students' backgrounds and gives them the foundation necessary to integrate diverse concepts. This comparative review provides computer vision and image processing educators with a starting point from which they can select a textbook appropriate for their students' needs.
