Image Acquisition and Processing with LabVIEW, Second Edition (Image Processing, v. 5)
by Christopher G. Relf and Michael C. Ashe
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...
A complete overview of distant automatic speech recognition The performance of conventional Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems degrades dramatically as soon as the microphone is moved away from the mouth of the speaker. This is due to a broad variety of effects such as background noise, overlapping speech from other speakers, and reverberation. While traditional ASR systems underperform for speech captured with far-field sensors, there are a number of novel techniques within the recognit...
Geometric Modelling for Product Engineering
This work presents the highlights of the June 17-21, 1990 Workshop on Geometric Modeling for Product Engineering organized by IFIP Working Group 5.2 and attended by 77 researchers representing 11 countries. The workshop explored state-of-the-art research and development in product modeling and its applications, significant trends, and future directions and research opportunities. Papers contributed to this volume are derived from the 53 conference presentations, as well as from input generated b...
Graph Embedding for Pattern Analysis
Graph Embedding for Pattern Recognition covers theory methods, computation, and applications widely used in statistics, machine learning, image processing, and computer vision. This book presents the latest advances in graph embedding theories, such as nonlinear manifold graph, linearization method, graph based subspace analysis, L1 graph, hypergraph, undirected graph, and graph in vector spaces. Real-world applications of these theories are spanned broadly in dimensionality reduction, subspace...
Progress in Pattern Recognition, Speech and Image Analysis (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, #2905)
CIARP 2003 (8th Iberoamerican Congress on Pattern Recognition) was the eighth event in a series of pioneering congresses on pattern recognition in the Latin American c- munity of countries. This year, however, the forum was extended to include worldwide participation. The event has been held in the past in Mexico, Cuba, Brazil and Por- gal; it took place this year in Havana (Cuba). The aim of the congress was to promote and disseminate ongoing research into mathematical methods for pattern recog...
A practical guide for engineers and students that covers a wide range of optical design and optical metrology topics Optical Engineering Science offers a comprehensive and authoritative review of the science of optical engineering. The book bridges the gap between the basic theoretical principles of classical optics and the practical application of optics in the commercial world. Written by a noted expert in the field, the book examines a range of practical topics that are related to optical des...
Optical Pattern Recognition XV (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.
Computer vision and object recognition are two technological methods that are frequently used in various professional disciplines. In order to maintain high levels of quality and accuracy of services in these sectors, continuous enhancements and improvements are needed. The implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning has assisted in the development of digital imaging, yet proper research on the applications of these advancing technologies is lacking. Applications of Advanced...
Two-Dimensional Materials in Nanophotonics
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted tremendous interest since the study of graphene in the early 21st century. With their thickness in the angstrom-to-nanometer range, 2D materials, including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, phosphorene, silicene, and other inorganic and organic materials, can be an ideal platform to study fundamental many-body interactions because of reduced screening and can also be further engineered for nanophotonic applications. This book compiles rese...
Pattern Recognition with Image Analysis
by Richard Johnsonbaugh, Earl Gose, and Steve Jost
Over the past 20 to 25 years, pattern recognition has become an important part of image processing applications where the input data is an image. This book is a complete introduction to pattern recognition and its increasing role in image processing. It covers the traditional issues of pattern recognition and also introduces two of the fastest growing areas: Image Processing and Artificial Neural Networks. Examples and digital images illustrate the techniques, while an appendix describes pattern...
