The result of a lecture series, this textbook is oriented towards students and newcomers to the field and discusses theoretical foundations as well as experimental realizations in detail. The authors are experienced teachers and have tailored this book to the needs of students. They present the basics of quantum communication and quantum information processing, leading readers to modern technical implementations. In addition, they discuss errors and decoherence as well as methods of avoiding and...

This was the fourth in a sequence of international conferences promoted and organized by the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP). This book (in three volumes) presents the proceedings of that conference. EUSIPCO '88 comprised 47 separate sessions organized in 7 parallel programs. Each of the 438 papers that were presented at the conference were reviewed by at least two referees from two independent institutions. In addition, 8 tutorials were contributed by experts in a large fie...

The benefits of an image management system are dependent on the ability to move the images among different workstations in a workflow process. Image communications as an area of research has evolved only the last few years, driven by the technological advances of the electronic imaging industry. This book examines in-depth the associated technologies and problems surrounding the transmission of image data in a wide range of applications.

This is a complete and authoritative introduction to optical technology for communications engineers that includes detailed coverage of the latest emerging technologies. The book begins with an overview of contemporary telecommunications infrastructure and the characteristics of optical fiber technology. Uyless Black presents a detailed introduction to timing and synchronization in optical networks, as well as today's SONET/SDH optical transport network standards. He introduces today's powerful...

This series investigates scientific developments and theories that give rise to popular and widespread interest, concern and controversy. Each book looks at a different source of controversy and: - introduces the personalities and interest groups - features details of the development or discovery - explains the underlying science and techniques - reviews the issues and opinions involved - uses a variety of examples and evidence

Integrates computer vision, pattern recognition, and AI. Presents original research that will benefit researchers and professionals in computer vision, pattern recognition, target recognition, machine learning, evolutionary learning, image processing, knowledge discovery and data mining, cybernetics, robotics, automation and psychology

The first edition, published in 1973, has become a classic reference in the field. Now with the second edition, readers will find information on key new topics such as neural networks and statistical pattern recognition, the theory of machine learning, and the theory of invariances. Also included are worked examples, comparisons between different methods, extensive graphics, expanded exercises and computer project topics. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems i...

This volume introduces the mechanisms of sight and hearing, cognition and movement, centred round the results of Advanced Telecommunication research and development. It provides an understanding of the latest results of research in the field - such as the Japanese results in various areas of Information Science research. The first part of the book contains a general overview of the features of human information processing and memory research in the field of neural science. Part Two touches upon...

This book is the fifth in a series of annual surveys of optical storage technology, concepts, product developments and applications. It includes analyses of read-only and read/write technologies and examines new products under development or introduced during 1989. The categorization of available products is emphasized by providing an understanding of their characteristics, advantages and limitations. The overall conceptual presentation retains its utility and readers should be able to relate ne...

Style is a fundamental and ubiquitous aspect of the human experience: Everyone instantly and constantly assesses people and things according to their individual styles, academics establish careers by researching musical, artistic, or architectural styles, and entire industries maintain themselves by continuously creating and marketing new styles. Yet what exactly style is and how it works are elusive: We certainly know it when we see it, but there is no shared and clear understanding of the dive...

Dimensionality reduction (DR) refers to the problem of projecting high-dimensional data onto a low-dimensional manifold so that relevant information is preserved. DR arises in many application areas where direct processing of the data is too costly. Through a machine-learning perspective that focuses on algorithms rather than theory, Dimensionality Reduction provides an overview of methods for DR including real-world applications taken from areas such as speech processing and computer vision. In...

There have been dramatic improvements in the algorithms and techniques used in machine learning over the last twenty years. Numerous methods have been developed that utilize mathematical programming techniques that are well known to operations researchers. Because understanding of the fundamentals of mathematical programming is essential for theoretical computer scientists, this book intends to provide this audience a strong introduction to the analysis and mathematical programming techniques us...

Image Acquisition and Processing With LabVIEWa combines the general theory of image acquisition and processing, the underpinnings of LabVIEW and the NI Vision toolkit, examples of their applications, and real-world case studies in a clear, systematic, and richly illustrated presentation. Designed for LabVIEW programmers, it fills a significant gap in the technical literature by providing a general training manual for those new to National Instruments (NI) Vision application development and a ref...

This book is intended for a one-semester course in optics for juniors and seniors in science and engineering; it uses Mathcad scripts to provide a simulated laboratory where students can learn by exploration and discovery instead of passive absorption. The text covers all the standard topics of a traditional optics course, including: geometrical optics and aberration, interference and diffraction, coherence, Maxwells equations, wave guides and propagating modes, blackbody radiation, atomic emiss...
