This book is aimed at relatively technical readers, though no prior experience with
Continuous Integration is assumed. You may be new to Continuous Integration, and
would like to learn about the benefits it can bring to your development team. Or, you
might be using Jenkins or Hudson already, and want to discover how you can...
A number of crucial societal applications like international border crossing, electronic
commerce, and welfare disbursement require reliable person recognition systems.
Traditional person authentication methods based on passwords and identity
documents often fail to meet the stringent security and performance demands of
these...
The world of wiring tends to move in cycles, so to speak. The basic science that causes your blender to whir
when you plug the cord into a wall outlet doesn’t change, but the ways we harness and manage electrical
power are constantly improving—always with an eye toward safety. The Complete Guide to Wiring changes, too....
The TITLE of Volume 4 is Combinatorial Algorithms, and when I proposed it I was strongly inclined to add a subtitle: The Kind of Programming I Like Best. Mv editors have decided to tone down such exuberance, but the fact remains that programs with a combinatorial flavor have always been my favorites.
This volume demonstrates the power of the Markov random field (MRF) in vision, treating the MRF both as a tool for modeling image data and, utilizing recently developed algorithms, as a means of making inferences about images. These inferences concern underlying image and scene structure as well as solutions to such problems as image...
It's easy to capture packets with Wireshark, the world's most popular network sniffer, whether off the wire or from the air. But how do you use those packets to understand what's happening on your network?
With an expanded discussion of network protocols and 45 completely new scenarios, this extensively...
This book contains an exposition of several results related with direct and converse theorems in the theory of approximation by algebraic polynomials in a finite interval. In addition, some facts concerning trigonometric approximation that are necessary for motivation and comparisons are included. The selection of papers that are referenced...
This is an introductory to intermediate level text on the scienceof image processing, which employs the Matlab programming languageto illustrate some of the elementary, key concepts in modern imageprocessing and pattern recognition. The approach taken isessentially practical and the book offers a framework within whichthe concepts can be...
This updated third edition illustrates the mathematical concepts that a game developer needs to develop 3D computer graphics and game engines at the professional level. It starts at a fairly basic level in areas such as vector geometry and linear algebra, and then progresses to more advanced topics in 3D programming such as illumination and...
Welcome to the C++ computer programming language and C++ How to Program, Eighth
Edition! This book presents leading-edge computing technologies, and is particularly appropriate
for inroductory course sequences based on the curriculum recommendations of
two key professional organizations—the ACM and the IEEE.
Relational database systems have evolved significantly since their inception
over 30 years ago. New applications are now more complex than ever,
and tuning a production system for performance has become a critical yet
time-consuming activity. Due to the increasing complexity in both application
workloads and query engines, even...
If you are completely new to AutoCAD or just feeling a little rusty, this book will help start the wheels turning and keep you rolling in the right direction. Tidbits of historical insight and explanations help you understand not only "how" to perform a task, but "why." David's friendly and humorous writing style makes...
