Mathematical Optimization in Computer Graphics and Vision (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics)

Mathematical Optimization in Computer Graphics and Vision (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics), 9780127159515 (0127159517), Morgan Kaufmann, 2008

Mathematical optimization is used in nearly all computer graphics applications, from computer vision to animation. This book teaches readers the core set of techniques that every computer graphics professional should understand in order to envision and expand the boundaries of what is possible in their work.

Study of this authoritative reference will help readers develop a very powerful tool- the ability to create and decipher mathematical models that can better realize solutions to even the toughest problems confronting computer graphics community today.

The authors are renowned researchers from IMPA, the Brazilian National Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics.

*Distils down a vast and complex world of info on optimization into one short, self-contained volume especially for computer graphics

*Helps CG professionals identify the best technique for solving particular problems quickly, by categorizing the most effective algorithms by application

*Keeps readers current by supplementing the focus on key, classic methods with special end-of-chapter sections on cutting-edge developments

SQL Server 2012 Integration Services Design Patterns

Apress, 2012

For me, one of the great pleasures of working at Microsoft was shepherding new products from concept to release. However, it was even more fulfilling to witness the birth and growth of new communities of users, for what is a product without a user? Just bits and bytes on a disk. In my role as Group Product Manager of the SQL Server Integration...

Distributed Network Systems : From Concepts to Implementations (Network Theory and Applications)

Springer, 2004

Both authors have taught the course of “Distributed Systems” for many years in the
respective schools. During the teaching, we feel strongly that “Distributed systems”
have evolved from traditional “LAN” based distributed systems towards “Internet
based” systems. Although there exist...
