I am the author of Image Processing and Analysis (2018), an introductory textbook about the mathematical and algorithmic foundations of image processing and computer vision.

Introduction to Computer Vision (2026) is an updated introductory book (lecture notes) with working Python code, written for my course at the University of Washington.
