"Barbosa makes the otherwise difficult subject of distributed algorithms very enjoyable and attractive to both students and researchers. The leading intuitive discussion of each algorithm is so very well organized and clearly written that a reader can, without the slightest effort, have a clear picture of it. An ideal textbook for an...
The renowned communications theorist Robert Gallager brings his lucid writing style to the study of the fundamental system aspects of digital communication for a one-semester course for graduate students. With the clarity and insight that have characterized his teaching and earlier textbooks, he develops a simple framework and then combines...
Molecular imaging represents a new medical discipline that aims at
uncovering molecular pathways of disease by integrating cellular
and molecular biology with diagnostic imaging1,2. It encompasses
several of the exciting imaging modalities that are capable of
providing critical information for early detection and progression of...
The development and implementation of intellectual property (IP) protection mechanisms is of crucial importance for the emerging reuse-based system design methodology. Maybe even more importantly, it is such an elegant scientific and engineering challenge that it has drawn a lot of attention from academia and industry in recent years....
Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPSs) are on-board systems aimed at detecting and tracking people in the surroundings of a vehicle in order to avoid potentially dangerous situations. These systems, together with other Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as lane departure warning or adaptive cruise control, are one of the most...
Security in Computing, Third Edition systematically demonstrates how to control failures of confidentiality, integrity, and availability in applications, databases, operating systems, and networks alike.
This sweeping revision of the field's classic guide to computer...
Hacking is the art of creative problem solving, whether that means finding an unconventional solution to a difficult problem or exploiting holes in sloppy programming. Many people call themselves hackers, but few have the strong technical foundation needed to really push the envelope.
Rather than merely showing how to run existing exploits,...
This book has three editors, and all of us are involved in image processing and computer vision research.
We have contributed to the 3D imaging research, especially in the field of passive optical 3D shape
recovery methods. Over the last decade, significant progress had been made in 3D imaging research. As
a result, 3D imaging...
In this day and age, physics engines play a very critical role in the success of a sophisticated game. PhysX is a state-of-the-art cross-platform physics engine widely used by top game studios and developers. It contains all the physics-related components you will need and exploits the parallel-processing capability of modern GPUs as well as...
Here's the book you need to prepare for the CISSP exam from (ISC)2. Written by a team of experienced security experts who know exactly what it takes to pass the test, this Study Guide provides:
Assessment testing to focus and direct your studies In-depth coverage of official test domains Hundreds of challenging practice questions, in the book...
This book presents a unified view of image motion analysis under the variational framework. Variational methods, rooted in physics and mechanics, but appearing in many other domains, such as statistics, control, and computer vision, address a problem from an optimization standpoint, i.e., they formulate it as the optimization of an objective...
