Visual Search 2: Proceedings Of The 2nd Internationalby A.G. Gale; K. Carr; D. Brogan
CRC Press 1993; US$ 189.95The second book derived from the series of international conferences on visual search, this brings together research from a variety of disciplines, enabling the reader to share experiences at the cutting edge, accessing knowledge which might otherwise be locked away in specialist literature. more...
Dynamic Visionby S Gong; S J McKenna; A Psarrou
World Scientific 2000; US$ 72.80Face recognition is a task that the human vision system seems to perform almost effortlessly, yet the goal of building computer-based systems with comparable capabilities has proven to be difficult. The task implicitly requires the ability to locate and track faces through often complex and dynamic scenes. Recognition is difficult because of variations in factors such as lighting conditions, viewpoint, body movement and facial expression. Although evidence from psychophysical and neurobiological experiments provides intriguing insights into how we might code and recognise faces, its bearings on computational and engineering solutions are far from clear. more...
Introduction To Pattern Recognitionby M Friedman; A Kandel
World Scientific 1999; US$ 54.60This book is an introduction to pattern recognition, meant for undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and related fields in science and technology. Most of the topics are accompanied by detailed algorithms and real world applications. In addition to statistical and structural approaches, novel topics such as fuzzy pattern recognition and pattern recognition via neural networks are also reviewed. Each topic is followed by several examples solved in detail. The only prerequisites for using this book are a one-semester course in discrete mathematics and a knowledge of the basic preliminaries of calculus, linear algebra and probability theory. more...
Wavelet Theory And Its Application To Pattern Recognitionby Y Y Tang; J Liu; L H Yang
World Scientific 2000; US$ 107.90This is not a purely mathematical book. It presents the basic principle of wavelet theory to electrical and electronic engineers, computer scientists, and students, as well as the ideas of how wavelets can be applied to pattern recognition. It also contains many novel research results from the authors' research team. more...
Superportraitsby Gillian Rhodes
Psychology Press 1997; US$ 60.00Despite their exaggerated features, caricatures can remain instantly recognizable. The author assembles clues from a variety of sources to discover why, concluding that caricatures are effective for humans, animals and computer recognition systems. more...
Cellular Neural Networks and Visual Computingby Leon O. Chua; Tamas Roska
Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 70.00This is a unique undergraduate level textbook on Cellular Nonlinear/neural Networks (CNN) technology. The many examples and excercises, including a simulator accessible via the Internet, make this book an ideal introduction to CNNs and analogic cellular computing for students, researchers and engineers from a wide range of backgrounds. more...
Statistical Mechanics of Learningby Andreas Engel; Christian P. L. Van den Broeck
Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 66.00Artificial neural networks provide a simple framework for describing learning from examples. This coherent account of important concepts and techniques of statistical mechanics and their application to learning theory comes with background material in mathematics and physics, plus many examples and exercises, making it ideal for courses, self-teaching, or reference. more...
The Making of a Neuromorphic Visual Systemby Christoph Rasche
Springer 2005; US$ 160.00The reader is presented an approach to the construction of a visual system, which is behaviorally, computationally and neurally motivated. The central goal is to characterize the process of visual categorization and to find a suitable representation format that can successfully deal with the structural variability existent within visual categories. It does not define such representations a priori but attempts to show directions on how to gradually work towards them. The book reviews past and existent theories of visual object and shape recognition in the fields of computer vision, neuroscience and psychology. The entire range of computations is discussed, as for example contour extraction in retinal circuits, orientation determination in cortical... more...
