It’s often difficult to predict which areas of a field will become rejuvenated and grow rapidly or spin off to fit with another to form something new. The field of electro-optics is also unpredictable, but currently it has numerous forces acting on it. First is the development of new optical sources such as ultrafast lasers and fiber...
As a graduate student at Ohio State in the mid-1970s, I inherited a unique computer
vision laboratory from the doctoral research of previous students. They had
designed and built an early frame-grabber to deliver digitized color video from a
(very large) electronic video camera on a tripod to a mini-computer (sic) with a...
The purpose of this book is to teach fundamentals of programming concepts and

In the early days of pattern recognition and statistical data analysis life was
rather simple: datasets were relatively small, collected from well-designed experiments,
analyzed using a few methods that had good theoretical background.
Explosive growth of the use of computers led to the creation of huge amounts of
data of all kinds,...
Humans receive the great majority of information about their environment through
