The concept of information infrastructures is an important one in many countries and organizations for improving the management of distributed information. Many national and international efforts are ongoing to create such information infrastructures, in parallel with research activities to fi nd answers to the remaining problems when realizing...
This article is an extended version of a keynote address presented at the 9th International Conference on Human–Computer Interaction held in New Orleans, August 5 through 10, 2001. The article presents an overview of issues pertaining to the development of a user-friendly information society, and introduces 3 concepts for improving the...
Open Source GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a growing area with
the explosion of Google Maps-based websites and spatially-aware devices and
applications. The GIS market is growing rapidly, and as a Python developer you
can't afford to be left behind. In today's location-aware world, all commercial Python
developers can...
Computer vision is the science and technology of making machines that see.
It is concerned with the theory, design and implementation of algorithms that
can automatically process visual data to recognize objects, track and recover
their shape and spatial layout.
The International Computer Vision Summer School - ICVSS was...
In this book, Shimon Ullman focuses on the processes of high-level vision that deal with the interpretation and use of what is seen in the image. In particular, he examines two major problems. The first, object recognition and classification, involves recognizing objects despite large variations in appearance caused by changes in viewing...

GeoComputation (GC) is a follow-on revolution that is occurring after the
introduction of geographical information systems (GIS). It is expected to gather
speed and momentum in the first decade of the 21st century. The rationale
behind this latest revolution is quite simple. When we have finished creating our
GIS databases, set up our...
In 1983 I left the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC) and went to Wageningen Agricultural University, where I took the chair of “Land Surveying and Teledetection”. Up to that time I had been active mainly in geodesy and photogrammetry, but at Wageningen it soon became...
Computer Vision and Applications, Concise Edition, offers a fresh approach to computer vision by regarding the whole process from image formation to measuring, recognition, or reacting as an integral process. Computer vision is understood as the host of techniques used to acquire, process, analyze, and understand complex,...
