Deformable Surface 3D Reconstruction from Monocular Images (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Vision)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2010

Deformable surface 3D reconstruction from monocular images is an active area of research in the Computer Vision community. This encompasses recovering both the shape of thin objects that can be treated as surfaces without perceptible thickness and the visible envelope of fully 3D objects. Whereas this may seem easy for a human...

Introduction to Continuum Biomechanics (Synthesis Lectures on Biomedical Engineering)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

This book is concerned with the study of continuum mechanics applied to biological systems, i.e., continuum biomechanics. This vast and exciting subject allows description of when a bone may fracture due to excessive loading, how blood behaves as both a solid and fluid, down to how cells respond to mechanical forces that lead to changes in...

Electromagnetic Fields: Restrictions and Approximation

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

The subject of this book falls within the scope of three disciplines – the antennas theory, highfrequency electrodynamics and mathematical physics. There are problems in which these disciplines are fundamentally connected. They are the inverse problems of the high-frequency field theory, more precisely – the connection...

Mechanisms in Organic Reactions

Royal Society of Chemistry, 2004

The wonderful complexity of organic chemistry involves thousands of different reactions which allow the synthesis and interconversions of millions of compounds, some of great complexity. The key to understanding this vital branch of chemistry is the concept of the reaction mechanism.

This book starts with a...

Pollution Prevention through Process Integration: Systematic Design Tools

Academic Press, 1997

Processing facilities are complex systems of unit operations and streams. Consequently, their environmental impact cannot be optimally mitigated by simple end-of-pipe measures. Instead, it is crucial to gain global insights into how mass flows throughout the process and to use these insights as a consistent basis for developing...

Information Security for Automatic Speaker Identification

Springer, 2011

Speaker identification is a widely used technique in several security systems. In remote access systems, speaker utterances are recoded and communicated through a communication channel to a receiver that performs the identification process. Speaker identification is based on characterizing each speaker with a set of features...

Graphics and Visualization: Principles & Algorithms

AK Peter, 2007

Graphics & Visualization: Principles and Algorithms is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students taking computer graphics and visualization courses. Students in computer-aided design courses with emphasis on visualization will also benefit from this text, since mathematical modeling techniques with parametric curves and...

Ray Tracing from the Ground Up

AK Peter, 2007

Computer graphics involves simulating the distribution of light in a 3D environment. There are only a few fundamentally different algorithms that have survived the test of time. They can be loosely classified into projective algorithms and image-space algorithms. The former class projects each geo metric primitive onto the...

Air Pollution from Motor Vehicles: Standards and Technologies for Controlling Emissions

World Bank Publications, 1997

Contributions by Surhid Gautam and Lit-Mian Chan. This book presents a state-of-the art review of vehicle emission standards and regulations and provides a synthesis of worldwide experience with vehicle emission control technologies and their applications in both industrial and developing countries. Topics covered include: * The two principal...

Ecosystem Engineers, Volume 4: Plants to Protists (Theoretical Ecology Series)

Academic Press, 2007

The purpose of this collection is to present some of the diversity of ideas and studies about species that can be classifi ed as “ecosystem engineers.” As with any developing concept, we fi nd disagreement about the meaning and usefulness of this term in the literature and among ourselves. The idea for the book...

$Electric Refractory Materials$

Electric Refractory Materials

CRC Press, 2000

This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of electric refractory materials as exotic materials (i.e., metallic and semiconducting refractory materials) from fundamental properties to application in a wide variety of electronics. The metallic ceramics or metalloids are the transition metal carbides, nitrides, and diborides of...

Nanostructure control of materials

CRC Press, 2006

The World is confronted with a plethora of potentially disruptive technologies – some, such as nanotechnology, will inevitably challenge our cherished social, economic and industrial stability over the next two decades. Rational design and manufacture of materials properties through nanostructure control will profoundly...
