The book that got me started in Digital Image Processing is Wayne
Niblack's "An Introduction to Digital Image Processing" from Prentice Hall
International.  It was easy enough to understand as a beginner and
continued to supply useful information as my understanding advanced. 
Don't let its small size fool you, it contains ta wealth of information.
