Multidimensional Signal, Image, and Video Processing and Coding
Author: John W. Woods
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0123814219
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 617
Book Description
Multidimensional Signal, Image, and Video Processing and Coding gives a concise introduction to both image and video processing, providing a balanced coverage between theory, applications and standards. It gives an introduction to both 2-D and 3-D signal processing theory, supported by an introduction to random processes and some essential results from information theory, providing the necessary foundation for a full understanding of the image and video processing concepts that follow. A significant new feature is the explanation of practical network coding methods for image and video transmission. There is also coverage of new approaches such as: super-resolution methods, non-local processing, and directional transforms. Multidimensional Signal, Image, and Video Processing and Coding also has on-line support that contains many short MATLAB programs that complement examples and exercises on multidimensional signal, image, and video processing. There are numerous short video clips showing applications in video processing and coding, plus a copy of the vidview video player for playing .yuv video files on a Windows PC and an illustration of the effect of packet loss on H.264/AVC coded bitstreams. New to this edition: - New appendices on random processes, information theory - New coverage of image analysis – edge detection, linking, clustering, and segmentation - Expanded coverage on image sensing and perception, including color spaces - Now summarizes the new MPEG coding standards: scalable video coding (SVC) and multiview video coding (MVC), in addition to coverage of H.264/AVC - Updated video processing material including new example on scalable video coding and more material on object- and region-based video coding - More on video coding for networks including practical network coding (PNC), highlighting the significant advantages of PNC for both video downloading and streaming - New coverage of super-resolution methods for image and video - Only R&D level tutorial that gives an integrated treatment of image and video processing - topics that are interconnected - New chapters on introductory random processes, information theory, and image enhancement and analysis - Coverage and discussion of the latest standards in video coding: H.264/AVC and the new scalable video standard (SVC)

Economic Plants of Porto Rico (Classic Reprint)

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Excerpt from Economic Plants of Porto Rico This paper includes miscellaneous information on the principal cultivated plants of Porto Rico, brief notes on many of the minor economic plants, and a list of all the native names of plants which have thus far been recorded from the island, with references to the scientific names of the species to which t-hev are applied as far as these have been determined. As there are no botanical publications in either English or Spanish which give an even approximately complete treatment of the flora, it is believed that the present list of names and the brief notes accompanying will be found of use both to visitors and to residents of the island. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

The Fingerprint

Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781500674151
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The idea of The Fingerprint Sourcebook originated during a meeting in April 2002. Individuals representing the fingerprint, academic, and scientific communities met in Chicago, Illinois, for a day and a half to discuss the state of fingerprint identification with a view toward the challenges raised by Daubert issues. The meeting was a joint project between the International Association for Identification (IAI) and West Virginia University (WVU). One recommendation that came out of that meeting was a suggestion to create a sourcebook for friction ridge examiners, that is, a single source of researched information regarding the subject. This sourcebook would provide educational, training, and research information for the international scientific community.
