Kategoria BISAC: Computers >> Image Processing

Edited by some of the most experienced authors in the field, Biomedical Imaging provides comprehensive coverage on medical and biological imaging. Original research and critical reviews on software and hardware technologies for medical and biological imaging tasks are presented in the book, along with data processing in all imaging modalities for molecular, cellular, anatomical and functional imaging.

Research topics include image acquisition, registration, reconstruction, multimodality methods, noise filtering and image enhancement, segmentation, classification...

An active robot system can change its visual parameters in an intentional manner and perform its sensing actions purposefully. A general vision task thus can be performed in an efficient way by means of strategic control of the perception process. The controllable processes include 3D active sensing, sensor configuration and recalibration, automatic sensor placement, and 3D sensing. This book explores these important issues in studying for active visual perception.

Vision sensors have limited fields of views and can only "see" a portion of a scene from a single viewpoint. To...

In3D Printing With MatterControl, Joan Horvath and Rich Cameron, the team behindMastering 3D Printing, explain step-by-step how to use the MatterControl program, which allows you to control many common types of 3D printers (including both cartesian and delta style machines).3D Printing With MatterControlcan stand alone, or it can be a companion toMastering 3D Printingto show you how to install, configure, and use best practices with your printer and printing software. The book includes both step by step software walkthroughs and case studies with typical...

This timely book presents Applications in Recommender Systems which are making recommendations using machine learning algorithms trained via examples of content the user likes or dislikes. Recommender systems built on the assumption of availability of both positive and negative examples do not perform well when negative examples are rare. It is exactly this problem that the authors address in the monograph at hand. Specifically, the books approach is based on one-class classification methodologies that have been appearing in recent machine learning research. The blending of recommender...

This book explores the internet and mobile ecosystems which are powered by cloud computing - an essential, if not indispensable, part of our everyday lives. Billions of users world-wide use this technology for information sharing, communication and social networking and a high proportion of activity is driven by massive media content such as images, videos and other emerging 3D visual media. However, managing, searching and visualizing this gigantic amount of data to facilitate communication is difficult which has led to an influx of innovation and research in these areas.

This second edition focuses on audio, image and video data, the three main types of input that machines deal with when interacting with the real world. A set of appendices provides the reader with self-contained introductions to the mathematical background necessary to read the book.
Divided into three main parts, From Perception to Computation introduces methodologies aimed at representing the data in forms suitable for computer processing, especially when it comes to audio and images. Whilst the second part, Machine Learning includes an extensive overview of statistical...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding, HBU 2015, held in Osaka, Japan, in September 2015.

The 11 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 15 initial submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: interaction with elderly, learning behavior patterns, and mobile solutions.

Welcome to Scientific Python and its community. If you're a scientist who programs with Python, this practical guide not only teaches you the fundamental parts of SciPy and libraries related to it, but also gives you a taste for beautiful, easy-to-read code that you can use in practice. You'll learn how to write elegant code that's clear, concise, and efficient at executing the task at hand.

Throughout the book, you'll work with examples from the wider scientific Python ecosystem, using code that illustrates principles outlined in the book. Using actual scientific data, you'll work...

This book contains the reviewed, accepted contributions of the First International Symposium on Intelligent Computing Systems (ISICS)

that was held in Merida (Mexico) from 16-18 March 2016.

We received 25 submissions from 13 countries. Each submission had been evaluated by at least three members of the Program Committee and external reviewers. Based on these reviews, 12 papers were selected for long oral presentation. In addition to the contributed papers, four keynote speaker presentations were included in the conference program.
