This volume contains contributions from participants in the 2007 International Multiconference of Engineers and Computer Scientists. It covers a variety of subjects in the frontiers of intelligent systems and computer engineering and their industrial applications. The book reflects the tremendous advances in communication systems and electrical engineering. The book provides an excellent reference work for researchers and graduate students working in the field.
This book describes the signal, image and video processing methods and techniques for fire detection and provides a thorough and practical overview of this important subject, as a number of new methods are emerging. This book will serve as a reference for signal processing and computer vision, focusing on fire detection and methods for volume sensors. Applications covered in this book can easily be adapted to other domains, such as multi-modal object recognition in other safety and security problems, with scientific importance for fire detection, as well as video surveillance. Coverage includes: - Camera Based Techniques - Multi-modal/Multi-sensor fire analysis - Pyro-electric Infrared Sensors for Flame Detection - Large scale fire experiments - Wildfire detection from moving aerial platforms - The basics of signal, image and video processing based fire detection - The latest fire detection methods and techniques using computer vision - Non-conventional fire detectors: Fire detection using volumetric sensors - Recent large-scale fire experiments and their results - New and emerging technologies and areas for further research
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop MUSCLE 2011 on Computational Intelligence for Multimedia Understanding, organized by the ERCIM working group in Pisa, Italy on December 2011. The 18 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from over numerous submissions. The papers cover the following topics: multisensor systems, multimodal analysis, crossmodel data analysis and clustering, mixed-reality applications, activity and object detection and recognition, text and speech recognition, multimedia labelling, semantic annotation, and metadata, multimodal indexing and searching in very large data-bases; and case studies.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences, ISCIS 2004, held in Kemer-Antalya, Turkey in October 2004. The 99 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 335 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on artificial intelligence and machine learning, computer graphics and user interfaces, computer networks and security, computer vision and image processing, database systems, modeling and performance evaluation, natural language processing, parallel and distributed computing, real-time control applications, software engineering and programming, and theory of computing.
Cancer research is currently a vital field of study as it affects a wide range of the population either directly or indirectly. Breast and cervical cancer are two prevalent types that pose a threat to women’s health and wellness. Due to this, further research on the importance of medical informatics within this field is necessary to ensure patients receive the best possible attention and care. The Research Anthology on Medical Informatics in Breast and Cervical Cancer provides current research and information on how medical informatics are utilized within the field of breast and cervical cancer and considers the best practices and challenges of its implementation. Covering key topics such as women’s health, wellness, oncology, and patient care, this major reference work is ideal for medical professionals, nurses, oncologists, policymakers, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Upon its initial publication, The Circuits and Filters Handbook broke new ground. It quickly became the resource for comprehensive coverage of issues and practical information that can be put to immediate use. Not content to rest on his laurels, in addition to updating the second edition, editor Wai-Kai Chen divided it into tightly-focused texts that made the information easily accessible and digestible. These texts have been revised, updated, and expanded so that they continue to provide solid coverage of standard practices and enlightened perspectives on new and emerging techniques. Passive, Active, and Digital Filters provides an introduction to the characteristics of analog filters and a...
Since its inception in 1997,the EuropeanConferenceon Researchand Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries (ECDL) has come a long way, creating a strong interdisciplinarycommunityofresearchersandpractitionersinthe?eldofdigital libraries. We are proud to present the proceedings of ECDL 2005, the ninth conference in this series, which, following Pisa (1997), Heraklion (1998), Paris (1999), Lisbon (2000), Darmstadt (2001), Rome (2002), Trondheim (2003), and Bath (2004), took place on September 18–23, 2005 in Vienna, Austria. ECDL 2005 featured separate calls for paper and poster submissions, resu- ing in 130 full papers and 32 posters being submitted to the conference. All - pers were subject...
Over the last century, medicine has come out of the "black bag" and emerged as one of the most dynamic and advanced fields of development in science and technology. Today, biomedical engineering plays a critical role in patient diagnosis, care, and rehabilitation. More than ever, biomedical engineers face the challenge of making sure that medical d
