and 2) "The Dream Machine: J.C.R. Licklider and the Revolution That Made Computing Personal".

"Digital Image Processing" by Gonzalez and Woods

Two lesser known books that I enjoyed: 1) "Colossus: The secrets of Bletchley Park's code-breaking computers"

I hesitate to recommend this book because it is so dated (1992), but I refer to "Computer and Robot Vision" by Haralick and Shapiro quite often.

"Image Processing, Analysis, and Machine Vision" by Sonka, Hlavac, and Boyle

"Insight into Images" by Yoo

"Morphological Image Analysis" by Soille.
