Reviews
' ... enjoyable to read ... an excellent introduction for someone interested in pursuing research in this area, with ample references to current work sprinkled throughout.' SIAM Review
' ... every person interested in image analysis by partial differential equations or related fields, such as differential geometry and curve evolution, should read this book.' Mathematics of Computation
'... this book will certainly be accepted as a standard text ... A student who had worked through everything here would be very well equipped to develop powerful image processing software.' Alex M. Andrew, Robotica
'... a useful introduction to the subject.' John Urbas, Zentralblatt für Mathematik
'For those who are prepared to also take the mathematics, a marvellous world will open. This is applied mathematics at its best. Recommended for researchers and practitioners.' Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society
