We are entering the golden age of GPU computing. Since the introduction of CUDA in 2007, more
than 100 million computers with CUDA-capable GPUs have been shipped to end users. Unlike the
previous GPGPU shader programming models, CUDA supports parallel programming in C. From my
own experience in teaching CUDA programming, C programmers...
Walk into any bookseller, go to the photography section, and you will see countless books
on the subject of photography. Look a little further and you will locate the camera-specifi c
books. It is this divide between the camera-specifi c and instructional photography books that
inspired me to write this book. What I was seeing in the...
Images are all around us. We see them in color and in high resolution. In fact, the
natural images we see with our eyes seem perfectly smooth, with no jagged edges and
no graininess. Computer graphics, on the other hand, deals with images that consist
of small dots, pixels. When we first hear of this feature of computer graphics, we...
Picture an iPhone in your mind. OK, now picture any other smartphone
out there. Visualize this other smartphone until you have a really clear
image of it. Got it? OK, good.
My guess is that whichever smartphone you pictured—regardless of the

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...
As information technology (IT) becomes specialized and fragmented, it is easy to lose sight that many topics have common threads and because of this, advances in one subdiscipline may transmit to another. The presentation of results between different subdisciplines encourages this interchange for the advancement of IT as a whole.
The book is intended for advanced students in physics, mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, engine engineering and for specialists in computer vision and robotics on the techniques for the development of vision-based robot projects. It focusses on autonomous and mobile service robots for indoor work, and teaches...
