Multimedia security has become a major research topic, yielding numerous academic papers in addition to many watermarking-related companies. In this emerging area, there are many challenging research issues that deserve sustained studying towards an effective and practical system. Multimedia Security: Steganography and Digital Watermarking...
What the eye does not see, compression gets away with.
Digital Video Quality presents a comprehensive introduction to vision modeling and video quality assessment. The rapid spread of digital imaging systems poses an important new challenge: optimizing their performance with respect to the capture, display, storage...
In this completely updated and revised edition of Designing with the Mind in Mind, Jeff Johnson provides you with just enough background in perceptual and cognitive psychology that user interface (UI) design guidelines make intuitive sense rather than being just a list or rules to follow.
With the advent of `multimedia', digital signal processing (DSP) of sound has emerged from the shadow of bandwidth limited speech processing to become a research field of its own. To date, most research in DSP applied to sound has been concentrated on speech, which is bandwidth limited to about 4 kilohertz. Speech processing is also limited by the...
This book illustrates the commonly used and novel approaches of audio watermarking for copyrights protection. The author examines the theoretical and practical step by step guide to the topic of data hiding in audio signal such as music, speech, broadcast. The book covers new techniques developed by the authors are fully explained and MATLAB...
"This book is intended for a general scientifically interested audience . The author develops a generative theory of shape along two principles fundamental to intelligence maximization of transfer and maximization of recoverability. He proceeds by using an algebraically flavoured approach characterizing features as...
Illustrating essential aspects of adaptive image processing from a computational intelligence viewpoint, the second edition of Adaptive Image Processing: A Computational Intelligence Perspective provides an authoritative and detailed account of computational intelligence (CI) methods and algorithms for adaptive image...
With the emergence of broadband wireless communication systems, new business opportunities have appeared for operators, content provides, and manufacturers.
Broadband wireless communications technologies promise the freedom of constant access to the Internet at high speeds, without the limitation of connection...
Programming Game AI by Example provides a comprehensive and practical introduction to the “bread and butter” AI techniques used by the game development industry, leading the reader through the process of designing, programming, and implementing intelligent agents for action games using the C++ programming language.
Seeing in 3D is a fundamental problem for anyorganism or device that
has to operate in the real world. Answering questions such as “how far away
is that?” or “can we fit through that opening?” requires perceiving and making
judgments about the size of objects in three dimensions. So how do we see
in...
Charles Travis presents a series of connected essays on current topics in philosophy of perception. The book is informed throughout by a number of central insights of Gottlob Frege's, notably about some intrinsic differences between objects of thought and objects of perception, and about the essential publicity of thought, and hence of...
This volume provides comprehensive, self-consistent coverage of one approach to computer vision, with many direct or implied links to human vision. The book is the result of many years of research into the limits of human visual performance and the interactions between the observer and his environment. A wide-ranging approach to computer vision is...
