To send me email (sumbaug@siue.edu).
I am the Graduate Program Director for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department here at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville . We offer a Master’s program leading to the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree. We offer a Cooperative PhD program with Southern Illinois University Carbondale. The program can be completed at SIUE, with courses from SIUC being offered via satellite.
I also guide activities in the Computer Vision and Image Processing Laboratory here at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville . If you are interested in getting an MS degree with a concentration in Computer Vision and Image Processing (CVIP), you can see a program plan.
One major ongoing project is CVIPtools, a suite of tools for computer vision and image processing that offers the experienced and new user alike the opportunity to experiment with computer imaging in an easy-to-use environment.
I have completed a new edition of my imaging book, in full color, published by the CRC Press, DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS: Human and Computer Vision Applications with CVIPtools, 2nd Edition, which is available now! Errata March 2012 - Errata_printing2012.htm.
Information on the first edition, COMPUTER IMAGING: Digital Image Analysis and Processing can be seen at: table of contents, the preface, and the front and back covers. Errata June 2008.
