Techniques of vision-based motion analysis aim to detect, track, identify, and generally understand the behavior of objects in image sequences. With the growth of video data in a wide range of applications from visual surveillance to human-machine interfaces, the ability to automatically analyze and understand object motions from video...
The ever decreasing price/performance ratio of microcontrollers makes it economically attractive to replace more and more conventional mechanical or electronic control systems within many products by embedded real-time computer systems. An embedded real-time computer system is always part of a well-specified larger system, which we call an...
CICLing 2011 was the 12th Annual Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics. The CICLing conferences provide a wide-scope forum for the discussion of the art and craft of natural language processing research as well as the best practices in its applications.
Object tracking is a broad and important fi eld in computer science, addressing
the most different applications in the educational, entertainment, industrial,
and manufacturing areas. Since the early days of computer vision, the state of
the art of visual object tracking has evolved greatly, along with the available
imaging devices...
This book presents an introduction to the principles of the fast Fourier transform
(FFT). It covers FFTs, frequency domain filtering, and applications to video and
audio signal processing.
As fields like communications, speech and image processing, and related areas
are rapidly developing, the FFT as one of the essential...
With more and more images and videos being available in the compressed
format, researchers have started taking interest in the aspect of designing
algorithms for different image operations directly in their domains of representation.
This would not only avoid the inverse and forward transformation
steps and potentially make the...
Being the de-facto standard for data representation and exchange over the Web, XML (Extensible Markup Language) allows the easy development of applications that exchange data over the Web. This creates a set of data management requirements involving XML. XML and related standards have been extensively applied in many business, service, and...
The 20th ICPR (International Conference on Pattern Recognition) Conference took place in Istanbul, Turkey, during August 23–26, 2010. For the first time in the ICPR history, several scientific contests (http://www.icpr2010.org/ contests.php) were organized in parallel to the conference main tracks. The purpose of these contests was to...
The Workshop on Medical Computer Vision (MICCAI-MCV 2010) was held in conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer – Assisted Intervention (MICCAI 2010) on September 20, 2010 in Beijing, China. The one-day workshop focused on recognition techniques and applications in medical imaging. The...
A computer forensics "how-to" for fighting malicious code and analyzing incidents
With our ever-increasing reliance on computers comes an ever-growing risk of malware. Security professionals will find plenty of solutions in this book to the problems posed by viruses, Trojan horses, worms, spyware, rootkits, adware,...
This Wrox Blox will guide you through the world of 3D programming and give you solid knowledge and a foundation in game programming using Microsoft's XNA Framework. You will learn the fundamentals from 3D mathematics to model animation, including all the subjects needed to start developing 3D games, such as how to position objects in 3D...
The continuous developments of software-defined radio technology resulted in the appearance of the first real-time GPS software radios at the beginning of this century. For the first time, it was possible to realize a complete GNSS receiver without going into the depths of cumbersome hardware development that requires development or...
