The House on Boulby Cliff
Newlyweds George and Alice live an idyllic life. George is an archaeologist - Alice, the pretty daughter of a Hertfordshire baker. But trouble is brewing for them, threatening not only their marriage but their very lives.Rose - quiet, middle-aged and keenly missing her recently dead mother - lives alone in a remote clifftop cottage on the North Yorkshire coast. She's the very last of her family. A few of her ancestors were blessed (or cursed) with special gifts. Some called them "wise women", others called them "witches", but those powers faded out of the family decades ago - or did they?Binding George, Alice and Rose together is the Boulby Cliff House garden. There are secrets in the soil - and the potting shed seems oddly inviting...
Generic Object Recognition Using Form & Function
This monograph provides a detailed record of the ?GRUFF? research project. The goal of the GRUFF project is to develop techniques for robotic vision systems to recognize objects by reasoning about their intended function rather than matching to a pre-defined database of 2-D object appearances or 3-D object shapes. The contributions of this work are: a demonstration of the feasibility of the ?form and function? approach to reasoning about 3-D shapes; a demonstration of the concept of using a small number of knowledge primitives as component building blocks in creating a function-based definition of an object category; and an indexing mechanism to make processing for recognition more efficient without any substantial decrease in correctness of classification. Results are given for the analysis of over 500 3-D shape descriptions created with a solid modeling tool and over 200 shape descriptions extracted from real laser range finder images.
Handbook of Iris Recognition
The definitive work on iris recognition technology, this comprehensive handbook presents a broad overview of the state of the art in this exciting and rapidly evolving field. Revised and updated from the highly-successful original, this second edition has also been considerably expanded in scope and content, featuring four completely new chapters. Features: provides authoritative insights from an international selection of preeminent researchers from government, industry, and academia; reviews issues covering the full spectrum of the iris recognition process, from acquisition to encoding; presents surveys of topical areas, and discusses the frontiers of iris research, including cross-wavelength matching, iris template aging, and anti-spoofing; describes open source software for the iris recognition pipeline and datasets of iris images; includes new content on liveness detection, correcting off-angle iris images, subjects with eye conditions, and implementing software systems for iris recognition.
Ethics and Computing
We are inundated daily with intellectual property issues and warnings against computer viruses and hackers. This guide promotes awareness of these issues, and accepted procedures and policies in the area of ethics and computing, using real-world companies, incidents, products and people.
State Of The Art In Digital Mammographic Image Analysis
This book provides a detailed assessment of the state of the art in automated techniques for the analysis of digital mammogram images. Topics covered include a variety of approaches for image processing and pattern recognition aimed at assisting the physician in the task of detecting tumors from evidence in mammogram images. The chapters are written by recognized experts in the field and are revised versions of papers selected from those presented at the “First International Workshop on Mammogram Image Analysis” held in San Jose as part of the 1993 Biomedical Image Processing conference.
Active Robot Vision
One of the series in Machine Perception and Artificial Intelligence, this book covers subjects including the Harvard binocular head; heads, eyes, and head-eye systems; a binocular robot head with torsional eye movements; and escape and dodging behaviours for reactive control.

The Imposter as Social Theory
Edited by expert scholars, this volume explores the 'imposter' through empirical cases, including click farms, bikers, business leaders and fraudulent scientists, providing insights into the social relations and cultural forms from which they emerge.
Empirical Evaluation Techniques in Computer Vision
Empirical Evaluation Techniques in Computer Vision presents methods that allow comparative assessment of algorithms and the accompanying benefits: places computer vision on solid experimental and scientific grounds, assists the development of engineering solutions to practical problems, allows accurate assessments of computer vision research, provides convincing evidence that computer vision research results in practical solutions. The chapters in this volume cover the three main paradigms for evaluating computer vision algorithms. The paradigms are: (1) evaluations that are independently administered, (2) evaluation of a set of algorithms by one research group, and (3) evaluation methods that feature ground truthing procedures as a major component.
