Image Processing for Computer Graphics

Image Processing for Computer Graphics


Image processing is concerned with the analysis and manipulation of images by computer. The focus of this book is to provide a thorough treatment of image processing with an emphasis on those aspects most used in computer graphics. Throughout, the authors concentrate on describing and analyzing the underlying concepts rather than on presenting algorithms or pseudocode. As befits a modern introduction to this topic, a good balance is struck between discussing the underlying mathematics of the subject and the main topics covered: signal processing, data discretization, the theory of colour and different colour systems, operations in images, dithering and half-toning, warping and morphing, and image processing.

Digital Signal Processing: A Computer Science Perspective

Digital Signal Processing: A Computer Science Perspective


Get a working knowledge of digital signal processing for computer science applicationsThe field of digital signal processing (DSP) is rapidly exploding, yet most books on the subject do not reflect the real world of algorithm development, coding for applications, and software engineering. This important new work fills the gap in the field, providing computer professionals with a comprehensive introduction to those aspects of DSP essential for working on today's cutting-edge applications in speech compression and recognition and modem design. The author walks readers through a variety of advanced topics, clearly demonstrating how even such areas as spectral analysis, adaptive and nonlinear filtering, or communications and speech signal processing can be made readily accessible through clear presentations and a practical hands-on approach. In a light, reader-friendly style, Digital Signal Processing: A Computer Science Perspective provides:* A unified treatment of the theory and practice of DSP at a level sufficient for exploring the contemporary professional literature* Thorough coverage of the fundamental algorithms and structures needed for designing and coding DSP applications in a high level language* Detailed explanations of the principles of digital signal processors that will allow readers to investigate assembly languages of specific processors* A review of special algorithms used in several important areas of DSP, including speech compression/recognition and digital communications* More than 200 illustrations as well as an appendix containing the essential mathematical background

Methods for Quality Improvement in Products and Processes: A combined use of Robust Design and Computer Experiments

Methods for Quality Improvement in Products and Processes: A combined use of Robust Design and Computer Experiments


Robust Design is a statistical methodology based on the use of the information drawn from experiments on a physical prototype of a system to design (i.e. a product or a process). Many physical processes are so complex that it is difficult or even impossible to study them by conventional experimental methods. These limitations can be overcome by conducting simulated experiments (Computer Experiments) on a reliable and fast simulation model of the product or process. The combination of Robust Design and Computer Experiments can become a key methodology to sustain, in a systematic way, innovation in industrial design, while keeping cost under control. In this book new methodological developments for Robust Design using computer simulations are proposed. These methods have been successfully applied to the design of an optical profilometer, a device used for the high precision reconstruction of the micro-geometry of mechanical parts. The most important result is a significant improvement of the profilometer performance in terms of measurement uncertainty, speed and cost. The applied methodology can be profitably extended to other measurement systems/processes.

The second part describes image analysis and provides the tools, concepts, and models required to analyze digital images and develop computer vision applications. Part III discusses application areas for the processing of images, emphasizing human visual perception. Part IV delivers the information required to apply a CVIPtools environment to algorithm development. The text concludes with appendices that provide supplemental imaging information and assist with the programming exercises found in each chapter.The author presents topics as needed for understanding each practical imaging model being studied. This motivates the reader to master the topics and also makes the book useful as a reference. The CVIPtools software integrated throughout the book, now in a new Windows version, provides practical examples and encourages you to conduct additional exploration via tutorials and programming exercises provided with each chapter.

Shut Down

Shut Down


What happens when government fiscal mismanagement, resource wars, peak oil, overpopulation, high unemployment and an unexpected shocking and sudden wave of bank failures converge and descend at the same time? It just could mean unimaginable chaos. This riveting apocalyptic novel tells the exciting story of a young Asian American woman starting another routine, early-morning shift at a downtown Portland, Oregon, Starbucks and finds, as the warm summer morning progresses, that the nation's economy has completely and utterly collapsed and there is absolutely nothing the government or anyone can do about it. The chaos, fear, and horrifying depravation that immediately follow start in the first chapter and move like lightning throughout the entire fast-paced book. Shut Down portrays her journey to seek safety, first for herself, then later for her family as they all flee for their very survival across the Sandy River and into the close-knit, rural farmlands of Corbett, Oregon, where they must work long hours and fight hard as they strive to establish a harsh, new life.** Coming in spring, 2012: Buck, a sequel to Shut Down, will be released.Buck continues the story of Corbett, Oregon, as it struggles to survive two years after the collapse. This new novel introduces a severely wounded outsider, Buck, who arrives in town at the same time as a desperate band of killers.
