Visual Perception and Control of Underwater Robots
by Junzhi Yu, Xingyu Chen, and Shihan Kong
Visual Perception and Control of Underwater Robots covers theories and applications from aquatic visual perception and underwater robotics. Within the framework of visual perception for underwater operations, image restoration, binocular measurement, and object detection are addressed. More specifically, the book includes adversarial critic learning for visual restoration, NSGA-II-based calibration for binocular measurement, prior knowledge refinement for object detection, analysis of temporal d...
Presents a history of the developments in holography from early discoveries in optics to the first hologram of Denis Gabor. Also discusses possible future applications of holography.
Analog Optical Links presents the basis for the design of analog links. Following an introductory chapter, there is a chapter devoted to the development of the small signal models for common electro-optical components used in both direct and external modulation. However this is not a device book, so the theory of their operation is discussed only insofar as it is helpful in understanding the small signal models that result. These device models are then combined to form a complete link. With thes...

Shaping Light in Nonlinear Optical Fibers
This book is a contemporary overview of selected topics in fiber optics. It focuses on the latest research results on light wave manipulation using nonlinear optical fibers, with the aim of capturing some of the most innovative developments on this topic. The book's scope covers both fundamentals and applications from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, with topics including linear and nonlinear effects, pulse propagation phenomena and pulse shaping, solitons and rogue waves, novel o...
The images produced by means ofcomputers have invaded our daily lives. One has but to see the "identification logos" of most television broadcasts or some advenisement "spots" to be convinced of this. This proves that the synthesis ofimages has reached maturity. The progress that has been made in the last few years allows one to predict the use ofrealistic illustrations in more and more domains ofapplication. It is thus understandable that more and more people seek to understand how these images...

Object Recognition by Computer (Artificial Intelligence)
by William Eric Leifur Grimson
With contributions from Tomas LozanoPerez and Daniel P. Huttenlocher.An intelligent system must know "what "the objects are and "where "they are in its environment. Examples of this ubiquitous problem in computer vision arise in tasks involving hand-eye coordination (such as assembling or sorting), inspection tasks, gauging operations, and in navigation and localization of mobile robots. This book describes an extended series of experiments into the role of geometry in the critical area of objec...
Theory of Imaging
To be used in any senior- or graduate-level Computer Imaging Applications-Oriented course. Also for use as a laboratory text in a standard computer vision and/or image processing course.This application-oriented approach to Computer Vision and Image Processing (CVIP) brings these two separate but related fields together with an engineering perspective. A just-in-time approach presents topics as they become necessary for practical applications. This approach allows students to see an immediate ne...
