Geometric algebra (GA) is a powerful new mathematical system for computational geometry. Although its origins can be traced back to Hermann Grassmann (1844), its development as a language for space–time geometry with applications to all of physics did not begin until 1966. Suddenly, in the year 2000 it was recognized that a specialized...

Modeling problems in this book are addressed mainly from the computational viewpoint. The primary concerns are how to define an objective function for the optimal solution to a image analysis or computer vision problem and how to find the optimal solution. The solution is defined in an optimization sense because the perfect solution is...

This book is a practical exploration of A-GNSS with particular focus on A-GPS. It provides some theoretical...

In 2007, Microsoft released the fi rst Community Technology Preview (CTP) of Parallel Extensions for the .NET Framework. The old .NET Framework multithreading programming model was too complex and heavyweight for the forthcoming multicore and manycore CPUs. I had been researching parallel programming, multiprocessor, and multicore since 1997,...

Face recognition has a large number of applications, including security, person verification, Internet communication, and computer entertainment. Although research in automatic face recognition has been conducted since the 1960s, this problem is still largely unsolved. Recent years have seen significant progress in this area owing to advances...

A reorganized and comprehensive major revision of a classic book, this edition provides a bridge between introductory digital communications and more advanced treatment of information theory. Completely updated to cover the latest developments, it presents state-of-the-art error control techniques. Coverage of the fundamentals of coding and...

Although the field of mixed reality has grown significantly over the last decade, there have been few published books about augmented reality, particularly the interface design aspects. Emerging Technologies of Augmented Reality: Interfaces and Design provides a foundation of the main concepts of augmented reality (AR), with a particular...

This book is an introduction to theoretical computer science emphasizing two interrelated areas: the theory of computability {how to tell whether problems are algorithmically solvable) and the theory of formal languages (how to design and use special languages, as for algorithms). Automata {idealized computer devices) are used as precise...

Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) constitute a fascinating concept at the intersection of machine learning and evolutionary computation. LCS’s genetic search, generally in combination with reinforcement learning techniques, can be applied to both temporal and spatial problem-solving and promotes powerful search in a wide variety of...
