App Inventor: Create Your Own Android Apps

O'Reilly, 2011

You’re on your regular running route, just jogging along, and an idea for the next killer mobile app hits you. All the way home, you don’t even care what your time is, all you can think about is getting your idea out there. But how exactly do you do that? You’re no programmer, and that would take years, and time is...

Internet-based Control Systems: Design and Applications (Advances in Industrial Control)

Springer, 2011

The Internet plays a significant and growing role in real-time industrial manufacturing, scheduling and management. A considerable research effort has led to the development of new technologies that make it possible to use the Internet for supervision and control of industrial processes.

Internet-based Control Systems...

Qualitative Representation of Spatial Knowledge (Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)

Springer, 1994

Cognitive spatial concepts are qualitative in nature, i.e., they are based not so much on exact quantities but on comparisons between perceived magnitudes. We develop a qualitative model for the representation of spatial knowledge (in particular, of positional information about 2-dimensional projections) that is based only on locative...

Introduction to Video and Image Processing: Building Real Systems and Applications

Springer, 2012

One of the first times I ever encountered video and image processing was in a semester project at my fourth year of studying. The aim of the project was to design a system that automatically located the center and size of mushrooms in an image. Given this information a robot should pick the mushrooms. I was intrigued by the...

Vision in 3D Environments

Cambridge University Press, 2011

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...

Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles: Theory, Algorithms, and Implementation (Advances in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition)

Springer, 2011

Over the years, the field of intelligent vehicles has become a major research theme in intelligent transportation systems since traffic accidents are serious and growing problems all over the world. The goal of an intelligent vehicle is to augment vehicle autonomous driving either entirely or partly for the purposes of safety,...

Wearable Robots: Biomechatronic Exoskeletons

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Being a multidisciplinary area involving subjects such as mechanics, electronics and computing, the evolution and spread of robotics to different application sectors still requires intense interaction with other fields of science and technology. This applies equally when dealing with wearable robots, meaning robotic systems that a...

Bayesian Reasoning and Machine Learning

Cambridge University Press, 2012

We live in a world that is rich in data, ever increasing in scale. This data comes from many dierent sources in science (bioinformatics, astronomy, physics, environmental monitoring) and commerce (customer databases, nancial transactions, engine monitoring, speech recognition, surveillance, search). Possessing the knowledge as to...

Computer Vision: A Modern Approach (2nd Edition)

Prentice Hall, 2011

Computer vision as a field is an intellectual frontier. Like any frontier, it is exciting and disorganized, and there is often no reliable authority to appeal to. Many useful ideas have no theoretical grounding, and some theories are useless in practice; developed areas are widely scattered, and...

Start Here! Learn the Kinect API

Microsoft Press, 2012

The Kinect sensor provides a genuinely new way for a computer to make some sense of the world around it. The fusion of a camera, a directional microphone system, and a depth sensor into a single, mass-market device provides an opportunity for software developers to advance the field of computer interaction in all...

Innovations in Intelligent Machines - 1 (Studies in Computational Intelligence) (No. 1)

Springer, 2007

This book includes a collection of chapters on the state of art in the area of intelligent machines. This research would provide a sound basis to make autonomous systems human-like.

The contributions include: an introduction to intelligent machines; supervisory control of multiple UAVs; intelligent autonomous UAV task allocation;...

The Design and Analysis of Efficient Learning Algorithms (ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award)

MIT Press, 1992

Approaches to building machines that can learn from experience abound - from connectionist learning algorithms and genetic algorithms to statistical mechanics and a learning system based on Piaget's theories of early childhood development. This monograph describes results derived from the mathematically oriented framework of computational...
