Traffic Grooming in Optical WDM Mesh Networks (Optical Networks)
by Keyao Zhu, Hongyue Zhu, and Biswanath Mukherjee
Optical networks based on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) tech nology offer the promise to satisfy the bandwidth requirements of the Inter net infrastructure, and provide a scalable solution to support the bandwidth needs of future applications in the local and wide areas. In a waveleng- routed network, an optical channel, referred to as a lightpath, is set up between two network nodes for communication. Using WDM technology, an optical fiber link can support multiple non-overlapping wa...
Understanding Synthetic Aperture Radar Images
by Chris Oliver and Shaun Quegan
This new edition updates the technologies that deal with the characterization of the thermal infrared radiation contrast between ground targets and backgrounds. Samples have been updated to comply with the current status of technology in sensor systems and countermeasures. New topics on mine detection and polarization have been included, and the section covering multispectral camouflage of personnel has been extended. The basic principles and meteorological parameters are presented, followed by...

by Kathrin Berkner and Laurence Likforman-Sulem
Image Restoration (Digital Imaging and Computer Vision)
Image Restoration: Fundamentals and Advances responds to the need to update most existing references on the subject, many of which were published decades ago. Providing a broad overview of image restoration, this book explores breakthroughs in related algorithm development and their role in supporting real-world applications associated with various scientific and engineering fields. These include astronomical imaging, photo editing, and medical imaging, to name just a few. The book examines how...

by Kurt S. Niel and David Fofi
Image Processing (Proceedings of SPIE)
Proceedings of SPIE present the original research papers presented at SPIE conferences and other high-quality conferences in the broad-ranging fields of optics and photonics. These books provide prompt access to the latest innovations in research and technology in their respective fields. Proceedings of SPIE are among the most cited references in patent literature.
Aimed at anyone who wants to learn quickly, this book focuses on the technical details of fibre optics, the fibres themselves, the tools used to work the fibres, and the associated devices used to connect fibre optics.
How to Do Everything with Your Scanner (How to Do Everything)
by Jill Gilbert
Another volume in the popular, solutions-packed HTDE series. You'll learn to get the most out of your scanner, and do cool things like scan photos, negatives, and documents. What's more, you can then add your scanned images to Web pages, e-mails, and greeting cards. Also includes details on color correction, photo editing, and scanner repair tips.
Image-Based Damage Assessment for Underwater Inspections
by Michael O'Byrne, Bidisha Ghosh, Franck Schoefs, and Vikram Pakrashi
Inspection is crucial to the management of ageing infrastructure. Visual information on structures is regularly collected but very little work exists on its organised and quantitative analysis, even though image processing can significantly enhance these inspection processes and transfer real financial and safety benefits to the managers, owners and users. Additionally, new opportunities exist in the fast evolving sectors of wind and wave energy to add value to image-based inspection techniques....

Remote Sensing Time Series Image Processing (Imaging Science)
Today, remote sensing technology is an essential tool for understanding the Earth and managing human-Earth interactions. There is a rapidly growing need for remote sensing and Earth observation technology that enables monitoring of world’s natural resources and environments, managing exposure to natural and man-made risks and more frequently occurring disasters, and helping the sustainability and productivity of natural and human ecosystems. The improvement in temporal resolution/revisit allows...

The advent of fiber optic transmission systems and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) have led to a dramatic increase in the usable bandwidth of single fiber systems. This book provides detailed coverage of survivability (dealing with the risk of losing large volumes of traffic data due to a failure of a node or a single fiber span) and traffic grooming (managing the increased complexity of smaller user requests over high capacity data pipes), both of which are key issues in modern optical n...
Enabling Optical Internet with Advanced Network Technologies (Computer Communications and Networks)
This book provides a broad overview of IP over WDM technologies, as seen by a group of experts participating in the e-Photon/ONeC and BONE Networks of Excellence funded within the VIth and VIIth Research Framework Programmes (FP6 and FP7) of the European Union. Both Networks of Excellence are aimed at the integration of research teams active on optical networks at a pan-European level, with the creation of virtual centers of excellence in optical networks, te- nologies, and services. The working...
