Computational Geometry, Topology and Physics of Digital Images with Applications: Shape Complexes, Optical Vortex Nerves and Proximities (Intelligent Systems Reference Library #162)
by James F. PetersThis book discusses the computational geometry, topology and physics of digital images and video frame sequences. This trio of computational approaches encompasses the study of shape complexes, optical vortex nerves and proximities embedded in triangulated video frames and single images, while computational geometry focuses on the geometric structures that infuse triangulated visual scenes. The book first addresses the topology of cellular complexes to provide a basis for an introductory study of the computational topology of visual scenes, exploring the fabric, shapes and structures typically found in visual scenes. The book then examines the inherent geometry and topology of visual scenes, and the fine structure of light and light caustics of visual scenes, which bring into play catastrophe theory and the appearance of light caustic folds and cusps. Following on from this, the book introduces optical vortex nerves in triangulated digital images. In this context, computational physics is synonymous with the study of the fine structure of light choreographed in video frames. This choreography appears as a sequence of snapshots of light reflected and refracted from surface shapes, providing a solid foundation for detecting, analyzing and classifying visual scene shapes.

Computational Homogenization of Heterogeneous Materials with Finite Elements (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications #258)
by Julien YvonnetThis monograph provides a concise overview of the main theoretical and numerical tools to solve homogenization problems in solids with finite elements. Starting from simple cases (linear thermal case) the problems are progressively complexified to finish with nonlinear problems. The book is not an overview of current research in that field, but a course book, and summarizes established knowledge in this area such that students or researchers who would like to start working on this subject will acquire the basics without any preliminary knowledge about homogenization. More specifically, the book is written with the objective of practical implementation of the methodologies in simple programs such as Matlab. The presentation is kept at a level where no deep mathematics are required.
Computational Imaging for Scene Understanding: Transient, Spectral, and Polarimetric Analysis
by Takuya Funatomi Takahiro OkabeMost cameras are inherently designed to mimic what is seen by the human eye: they have three channels of RGB and can achieve up to around 30 frames per second (FPS). However, some cameras are designed to capture other modalities: some may have the ability to capture spectra from near UV to near IR rather than RGB, polarimetry, different times of light travel, etc. Such modalities are as yet unknown, but they can also collect robust data of the scene they are capturing. This book will focus on the emerging computer vision techniques known as computational imaging. These include capturing, processing and analyzing such modalities for various applications of scene understanding.
Computational Inference and Control of Quality in Multimedia Services (Springer Theses)
by Vlado MenkovskiThis thesis focuses on the problem of optimizing the quality of network multimedia services. This problem spans multiple domains, from subjective perception of multimedia quality to computer networks management. The work done in this thesis approaches the problem at different levels, developing methods for modeling the subjective perception of quality based on objectively measurable parameters of the multimedia coding process as well as the transport over computer networks. The modeling of subjective perception is motivated by work done in psychophysics, while using Machine Learning techniques to map network conditions to the human perception of video services. Furthermore, the work develops models for efficient control of multimedia systems operating in dynamic networked environments with the goal of delivering optimized Quality of Experience. Overall this thesis delivers a set of methods for monitoring and optimizing the quality of multimedia services that adapt to the dynamic environment of computer networks in which they operate.

Computational Intelligence: Theory and Applications
by T. Ananth Kumar E. Golden Julie Venkata Raghuveer Burugadda Abhishek Kumar Puneet KumarThis book provides a comprehensive exploration of computational intelligence techniques and their applications, offering valuable insights into advanced information processing, machine learning concepts, and their impact on agile manufacturing systems. Computational Intelligence presents a new concept for advanced information processing. Computational Intelligence (CI) is the principle, architecture, implementation, and growth of machine learning concepts that are physiologically and semantically inspired. Computational Intelligence methods aim to develop an approach to evaluating and creating flexible processing of human information, such as sensing, understanding, learning, recognizing, and thinking. The Artificial Neural Network simulates the human nervous system’s physiological characteristics and has been implemented numerically for non-linear mapping. Fuzzy Logic Systems simulate the human brain’s psychological characteristics and have been used for linguistic translation through membership functions and bioinformatics. The Genetic Algorithm simulates computer evolution and has been applied to solve problems with optimization algorithms for improvements in diagnostic and treatment technologies for various diseases. To expand the agility and learning capacity of manufacturing systems, these methods play essential roles. This book will express the computer vision techniques that make manufacturing systems more flexible, efficient, robust, adaptive, and productive by examining many applications and research into computational intelligence techniques concerning the main problems in design, making plans, and manufacturing goods in agile manufacturing systems.
