Introduction to Image Processing for Machine Vision and Image Inspection

A book for which I had written a manuscript (though only a few pages) was recently published.

Preface."
The above pages contain most of the contents of the book, but the contents I have written are quite different from those in "Introduction to Image Processing. It is probably a content with an unconventional viewpoint.
However, for me, "Introduction to Image Processing" does not start with a technical theory, but with a philosophy. Therefore, I think it is not strange that it should be called "Preface"...
