In the decade since the publication of the first edition of “Explorations in Quantum Computing” the field has blossomed into a rich and diverse body of knowledge, and tremendous progress has been made on building functional quantum computer hardware. Yet I find that a discussion of applications of quantum computers still remains...
This book provides practical information about how digital video works, how digital video is stored and transmitted, what digital systems can and cannot accomplish, and what to expect from digital video equipment in modern CCTV systems.
An explanation of digital video and compressed digital video is provided, and the distinction between...
There are strong indications that, in the 21st century, computational chemistry will be a prime research tool not only for the basic sciences but also for the life and materials sciences. Recent developments in nanotechnology allow us to detect a layer of single atoms. Researchers are able not only to image but also to manipulate molecules...
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,...
This 2nd edition is an update of the book "Wavelet Theory and Its Application to Pattern Recognition" published in 2000. Three new chapters, which are research results conducted during 2001-2008, will be added. The book consists of two parts - the first contains the basic theory of wavelet analysis and the second includes...
Real Analysis is based on the real numbers, and it is naturally
involved in practical mathematics. On the other hand, it has taken on
subject matter from set theory, harmonic analysis, integration theory,
probability theory, theory of partial differential equations, etc., and
has provided these areas with important ideas and...
Geometric algebra (GA) is a powerful new mathematical system for computational geometry. Although its origins can be traced back to Hermann Grassmann (1844), its development as a language for space–time geometry with applications to all of physics did not begin until 1966. Suddenly, in the year 2000 it was recognized that a specialized...
`This is a very well-organized and useful reference book for those who are new to wavelet image and video coding.' Journal of Electronic Imaging, 9:2 (2000)
An exciting new development has taken place in the digital era that has captured the imagination and talent of...
Imaging for Forensics and Security: From Theory to Practice provides a detailed analysis of new imaging and pattern recognition techniques for the understanding and deployment of biometrics and forensic techniques as practical solutions to increase security. It contains a collection of the recent advances in the technology ranging from...
The availability of increased computational power and the proliferation of the Internet
have facilitated the production and distribution of unauthorized copies of
multimedia information. As a result, the problem of copyright protection has attracted
the interest of the worldwide scientific and business communities. The most...
Showing how wavelets combine signal in image processing, mathematics, physics, and electrical engineering, this introduction to wavelet technology helps engineers master the basic techniques for using wavelets in such applications as image compression, turbulence, human vision, radar, and earthquake prediction. Among the topics covered are the...
It is well-known that speckle is a multiplicative noise that degrades image quality and the visual evaluation in ultrasound imaging. This necessitates the need for robust despeckling techniques for both routine clinical practice and teleconsultation. The goal for this book is to introduce the theoretical background (equations), the...
