Natural Image Statistics A Probabilistic Approach to Early Computational Vision.

From the reviews:

“The authors did a wonderful job of introducing the field of natural image statistics, comprehensively. The book provides the underlying fundamental mathematics … accessible to a wide audience. … provides exercises and computer assignments at the end of the chapters. … the advanced topics are treated in a similar manner to basic theory, makes the book suitable to be used as a textbook for advanced students and by researchers in any discipline related to computer vision.” (Michael Goldberg and R. Goldberg, ACM Computing Reviews, October, 2010)
