The first edition, published in 1973, has become a classic reference in the field. Now with the second edition, readers will find information on key new topics such as neural networks and statistical pattern recognition, the theory of machine learning, and the theory of invariances. Also included are worked examples, comparisons between different methods, extensive graphics, expanded exercises and computer project topics.

An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.

Computer Manual to Accompany Pattern Classification and its associated MATLAB software is an excellent companion to Duda: Pattern Classfication, 2nd ed, (DH&S). The code contains all algorithms described in Duda as well as supporting algorithms for data generation and visualization. The Manual uses the same terminology as the DH&S text and contains step-by-step worked examples, including many of the examples and figures in the textbook.
The Manual is accompanied by software that is available electronically. The software contains all algorithms in DH&S, indexed to the textbook, and uses...

This book is one outcome of the NATO Advanced Studies Institute (ASI) Workshop, "Speechreading by Man and Machine," held at the Chateau de Bonas, Castera-Verduzan (near Auch, France) from August 28 to Septem ber 8, 1995 - the first interdisciplinary meeting devoted the subject of speechreading ("lipreading"). The forty-five attendees from twelve countries covered the gamut of speechreading research, from brain scans of humans processing bi-modal stimuli, to psychophysical experiments and illusions, to statistics of comprehension by the normal and deaf communities, to models of human...

Licht entsteht in na, himbeerfarben, kitschig rosa. Ich Leben fiihrt. Die Augen zeigen uns Atomen und wird in Atomen wieder sehe das Bild noch heute vor meinen nur ein oberfliichliches...

This book is a collection representing some of the most powerful and useful computer techniques in the service of art. Combining contributions from peer-reviewed journals of computer vision, image analysis, and art history with others written expressly for this volume, it presents a wide range of advanced computer imaging methods applied to the study of art. The book clarifies the assumptions underlying the possible use of each algorithm, provides examples of use and some of the art historical lessons learned through this use, and highlights available software. Art conservators, art...
