Discrete Tomography provides a critical survey of new methods, algorithms, analytical and computational tools, and select applications that are the foundations of multidimensional image analysis, construction, and reconstruction. Professionals and researchers in multidimensional image processing will find the book an essential resource and guide to the latest developments in this field, which has important applications in medical imaging, ...

While other textbooks aim to a mathematically matured audience, this book is an introduction to wavelet transforms and accessible to a larger audience with diverse background and interests in mathematics, science and engineering. ...

Photorealistic rendering strives to generate images from
computer modeled scenes with an image quality as close to
real life as possible. A major issue in rendering is
simulation of local and global light reflection in a scene.
Both ray tracing and radiosity algorithms capture only some
of the possible light reflection phenomena. Recently
developed two-pass algorithms combine the ray tracing and
radiosity approaches ...

This robust text provides deep and wide coverage of the full range of topics encountered in the field of image processing and machine vision. As a result, it can serve undergraduates, graduates, researchers, and professionals looking for a readable reference. The book's encyclopedic coverage of topics is wider than that found in any competing book, and it can be used in more than one course (both image processing and machine vision classes). In ...

Digitale Kameras werden immer besser und preisgünstiger. Der Umstieg von analoger auf digitale Fotografie bietet sich an. Julie Adair King zeigt Ihnen, wie's geht und worauf Sie achten müssen. Mit viel Humor gibt die Fotoexpertin dem Einsteiger Tipps, auf welche Funktionen er bei Digitalkameras zu achten hat und welche technischen Einzelheiten beim Fotografieren wichtig sind.
Unscharfe oder unterbelichtete Fotos sind kein Problem mehr mit ...

This book is the proceedings of the Second Joint European-US Workshop on Applications of Invariance to Computer Vision, held at Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal in October 1993.The book contains 25 carefully refereed papers by distinguished researchers. The papers cover all relevant foundational aspects of geometric and algebraic invariance as well as applications to computer vision, particularly to recovery and reconstruction, object ...

This book offers readers a broad view of research in some Western and Eastern European countries on pattern and signal analysis, and on coding, handling and measurement of images. It is a selection of refereed papers from two sources: first, a satellite conference within the biannual International Conference on Pattern Recognition held in Rome, November 14-17, 1988, and second, work done at the International Basic Laboratory on Image Processing ...
