Remotely-sensed images of the Earth's surface provide a valuable source of information about the geographical distribution and properties of natural and cultural features. This fully revised and updated edition of a highly regarded textbook deals with the mechanics of processing remotely-senses images. Presented in an accessible manner,...
Back in the old days, working in a chemical
darkroom, I could only have dreamed of a postprocessing
tool as wonderful as Photoshop. But
for me that’s exactly what Photoshop is—a tool.
It’s a tool that helps me as a professional image
creator. The image is what matters, not the tool.
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,...
This textbook is the third of three volumes which provide a modern, algorithmic introduction to digital image processing, designed to be used both by learners desiring a firm foundation on which to build, and practitioners in search of critical analysis and concrete implementations of the most important techniques. This volume builds upon the...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Advances in Signal Processing and Intelligent Recognition Systems, SIRS 2018, held in Bangalore, India, in September 2018.
The 28 revised full papers and 11 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 92...
Nowadays data accumulate at an alarming speed in various storage devices, and so does valuable information. However, it is difficult to understand information hidden in data without the aid of data analysis techniques, which has provoked extensive interest in developing a field separate from machine learning. This new field is...
Spread spectrum and CDMA are cutting-edge technologies widely used in operational radar, navigation and telecommunication systems and play a pivotal role in the development of the forthcoming generations of systems and networks.
This comprehensive resource presents the spread spectrum concept as a product of the advancements in wireless IT,...
The favourable reception given to the first (1996) edition of this book suggests that the joint treatment of electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with a specifically geological slant has been found to serve a useful purpose. It was therefore decided to proceed with this second, revised and updated,...
It may sound surprising that in computing, a field which develops so fast that the future often becomes the past without having been the present, there is nothing more stable and worthwhile learning than its foundations.
It may sound less surprising that in a field with such a revolutionary methodological impact on all sciences and...
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...
