Best place/book to learn image processing concepts?
Back in 2002, I took a graduate image processing course. The class text was Fundamentals-Digital Image Processing by Anil K. Jain. http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Digital-Image-Processing-Anil/dp/0133361659 Looks like my old university is still using it as the required text. I also purchased Rafael C. Gonzalez and Richard E. Woods Digital Image Processing. http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Image-Processing-Rafael-Gonzalez/dp/013168728X/ http://www.imageprocessingplace.com/ While taking the course, I primarily used the instructor's hand written notes and Jain's book. The Gonzalez book came in handy as a secondary reference. On of my early managers had Gonzalez as his thesis advisor. I'm surprised how much these books have gone up. I paid 60.74 euros for Jain's book. More on reddit.com

Image processing books (Advanced/Expert)
Congratulations and well done! I'd look at both image processing and software engineering books in equal measure, you need both skills. CV books I think you should own: Image Processing - Gonzalez & Woods Computer Vision - Forsyth & Ponce Multi view geometry - Hartley & Zisserman For software dev I'd always have a copy of Design Patterns on the shelf,an Introduction to Algorithms and also something like Clean Code. There are so many good books out there I'm looking forward to hearing other recommendations. More on reddit.com

With just a few lines of code, you will convert RGB images to grayscale, get data from them, obtain histograms containing very useful information, and separate objects from the background! ... You will learn to detect object shapes using edge detection filters, improve medical images with contrast enhancement and even enlarge pictures to five times its original size! You will also apply morphology to make thresholding more accurate when segmenting images and go to the next level of processing images with Python.
