From the reviews:
"The goal of the research is to apply image processing techniques for the construction of a virtual human jaw. ... The monograph presents the underlying computational mathematics and algorithms and the results of the corresponding experiments. ... Readers with a normal understanding of the human anatomy can understand the book. ... It can be used as a textbook in graduate or higher-level image processing courses." (Maulik A. Dave, ACM Computing Reviews, April, 2012)
