  • Motion Visionby J. Kolodko; L. Viacic; Julian Kolodko; Ljubo Vlacic

    The Institution of Engineering and Technology 1753; US$ 118.00

    This comprehensive new book deals with motion estimation for autonomous systems from a biological, algorithmic and digital perspective. An algorithm, which is based on the optical flow constraint equation, is described in detail. This algorithm fits with the motion processing model, hardware and software constraints and resolves depth-velocity ambiguity, which is critical for autonomous navigation. There is also extensive coverage on the use of this algorithm in digital hardware and describes both the initial motion processing model, the chosen hardware platforms, and the global function of the system. more...

  • Classical Mechanicsby Dieter Strauch

    Springer 2009; US$ 99.00

    Covers the theory and application of Newtonian and Lagrangian, as well as Hamiltonian mechanics. This upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate textbook includes elements of continuum mechanics and the accompanying classical field theory, and introduces four-vector notation without explicit reference to special relativity. more...

  • Geometric Mechanicsby Richard Talman

    Wiley-VCH 2007; US$ 225.00

    For physicists, mechanics is quite obviously geometric, yet the classical approach typically emphasizes abstract, mathematical formalism. Setting out to make mechanics both accessible and interesting for non-mathematicians, Richard Talman uses geometric methods to reveal qualitative aspects of the theory. He introduces concepts from differential geometry, differential forms, and tensor analysis, then applies them to areas of classical mechanics as well as other areas of physics, including optics, crystal diffraction, electromagnetism, relativity, and quantum mechanics. For easy reference, the author treats Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, and Newtonian mechanics separately -- exploring their geometric structure through vector fields, symplectic geometry,... more...

  • Geometric Mechanicsby Richard Talman

    Wiley-VCH 2008; US$ 165.00

    Mechanics for the nonmathematician-a modern approach For physicists, mechanics is quite obviously geometric, yet the classical approach typically emphasizes abstract, mathematical formalism. Setting out to make mechanics both accessible and interesting for nonmathematicians, Richard Talman uses geometric methods to reveal qualitative aspects of the theory. He introduces concepts from differential geometry, differential forms, and tensor analysis, then applies them to areas of classical mechanics as well as other areas of physics, including optics, crystal diffraction, electromagnetism, relativity, and quantum mechanics.

  • Space-Time Continuous Models of Swarm Robotic Systemsby Heiko Hamann

    Springer 2010; US$ 109.00

    Develops a generic model in as far as possible mathematical closed-form that predicts the behavior of large self-organizing robot groups (robot swarms) based on their control algorithm. This book has emphasis on the interdisciplinary research field of swarm robotics. more...

  • Classical Mechanicsby Alexei Deriglazov

    Springer 2010; US$ 169.00

    Formalism of classical mechanics underlies a number of powerful mathematical methods that are widely used in theoretical and mathematical physics. This book considers the basics facts of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, as well as related topics, such as canonical transformations, integral invariants, potential motion in geometric setting, symmetries, the Noether theorem and systems with constraints. While in some cases the formalism is developed beyond the traditional level adopted in the standard textbooks on classical mechanics, only elementary mathematical methods are used in the exposition of the material. The mathematical constructions involved are explicitly described and explained, so the book can be a good starting point for the... more...
