E-book Title : Handbook of Computer Vision and Applications - Volume 3: Systems and Applications
Pub Date : 1999
Author : Bernd Jähne, Horst Hauecker & Peter Geiler (Editors)
Publisher: ACADEMIC PRESS
ISBN : 0–12–379773-X

Overview :

This handbook covers a fresh approach to computer vision. The whole vision process from image formation to measuring, recognition, or reacting is regarded as an integral process. Computer vision is understood as the host of techniques to acquire, process, analyze, and understand complex higher-dimensional data from our environment for scientific and technical exploration.

In this sense the handbook takes into account the interdisciplinary nature of computer vision with its links to virtually all natural sciences and attempts to bridge two important gaps. The first is between modern physical sciences and the many novel techniques to acquire images. The second is between basic research and applications. When a reader with a background in one of the fields related to computer vision feels he has learned something from one of the many other facets of computer vision, the handbook will have fulfilled its purpose.

The handbook comprises three volumes. The first volume, Sensors and Imaging, covers image formation and acquisition. The second volume, Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition, focuses on processing of the spatial and spatiotemporal signal acquired by imaging sensors. The third volume, Systems and Applications, describes how computer vision is integrated into systems and applications.

Title : HANDBOOK OF Computer Vision Algorithms in Image Algebra second edition
Pub Date : 2001
Author : Gerhard X. Ritter & Joseph N. Wilson
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN : 0-8493-0075-4

Overview :

Chapter 1 provides a short introduction to the field of image algebra. Chapters 2–12 are devoted to particular techniques commonly used in computer vision algorithm development, ranging from early processing techniques to such higher level topics as image descriptors and artificial neural networks. Although the chapters on techniques are most naturally studied in succession, they are not tightly interdependent and can be studied according to the reader’s particular interest. In the Appendix we present iac++ computer programs of some of the techniques surveyed in this book. These programs reflect the image algebra pseudocode presented in the chapters and serve as examples of how image algebra pseudocode can be converted into efficient computer programs.

E-book Title : Feature Extraction and Image Processing
Pub Date : 2002
Author : Mark S. Nixon & Alberto S. Aguado
Publisher: Newnes
ISBN : 0 7506 5078 8

Overview :

We will no doubt be asked many times: why on earth write a new book on computer vision? Fair question: there are already many good books on computer vision already out in the bookshops, as you will find referenced later, so why add to them? Part of the answer is that any textbook is a snapshot of material that exists prior to it. Computer vision, the art of
processing images stored within a computer, has seen a considerable amount of research by highly qualified people and the volume of research would appear to have increased in recent years. That means a lot of new techniques have been developed, and many of the more recent approaches have yet to migrate to textbooks.

Title : Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge
Pub Date : 2004
Author : -
Publisher: A project of the IEEE Computer Society Professional Practices Committee
ISBN : -
Overview :

WHAT IS SOFTWARE ENGINEERING?
The IEEE Computer Society defines software engineering as:
“(1) The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of

software; that is, the application of engineering to software. 1
(2) The study of approaches as in (1).”

WHAT IS A RECOGNIZED PROFESSION?
For software engineering to be fully known as a legitimate engineering discipline and a recognized
profession, consensus on a core body of knowledge is imperative. This fact is well illustrated by Starr when he
defines what can be considered a legitimate discipline and a recognized profession. In his Pulitzer Prize-winning
book on the history of the medical profession in the USA, he states that:

Title : Shoot Like a Pro! : DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY TECHNIQUES
Pub Date : 2003
Author : Julie Adair King
Publisher: McGraw-Hill/Osborne
ISBN : ISBN 0-07-222949-7
Overview :

As someone who writes photography books, I often get calls from friends and colleagues who are unhappy with their current

cameras and want me to recommend something that “takes better pictures.” Nine times out of ten, further discussion reveals that

a new camera isn’t the answer. All most people need to turn out terrific photos is simply a little technical guidance and some
help with their photographic technique.

To get good results from a digital camera, you need to understand traditional photography controls, such as exposure and focus

options. That’s only half the story, however. You also have to master digital-only features such as white balance, resolution,

and image file formats.

Title : SELF-DEFENSE NERVE CENTERS & PRESSURE POINTS
Pub Date : -
Author : BRUCE TEGNER
Publisher: -
ISBN : -
Overview :

SELF-DEFENSE NERVE CENTERS & PRESSURE POINTS
is a practical guide to the most efficent use of weaponless self-defense using the least possible force.

The results of self-defense actions are described in the most accurate way possible, taking into account the factors of relative

size, strength, health and emotions.

Modern knowledge of physiology and anatomy is applied to this subject which has long been much obscured by myth, superstition

and legend. The so-called “deadly” blows are evaluated. Fantasy and fact are separated.
