Face recognition has been actively studied over the past decade and continues to be a big research challenge. Just recently, researchers have begun to investigate face recognition under unconstrained conditions. Unconstrained Face Recognition provides a comprehensive review of this biometric, especially face recognition from video, assembling a collection of novel approaches that are able to recognize human faces under various unconstrained situations. The underlying basis of these approaches is that, unlike conventional face recognition algorithms, they exploit the inherent characteristics of the unconstrained situation and thus improve the recognition performance when compared with conventional algorithms. Unconstrained Face Recognition is structured to meet the needs of a professional audience of researchers and practitioners in industry. This volume is also suitable for advanced-level students in computer science.
Although the history of computer-aided face recognition stretches back to the 1960s, automatic face recognition remains an unsolved problem and still offers a great challenge to computer-vision and pattern recognition researchers. This handbook is a comprehensive account of face recognition research and technology, written by a group of leading international researchers. Twelve chapters cover all the sub-areas and major components for designing operational face recognition systems. Background, modern techniques, recent results, and challenges and future directions are considered. The book is aimed at practitioners and professionals planning to work in face recognition or wanting to become familiar with the state-of- the-art technology. A comprehensive handbook, by leading research authorities, on the concepts, methods, and algorithms for automated face detection and recognition. Essential reference resource for researchers and professionals in biometric security, computer vision, and video image analysis.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Information Processing in Medical Imaging, IPMI 2013, held in Asilomar in June/July 2013. The 26 full papers and 38 poster papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 199 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on connectivity, groupwise registration, neuro segmentation, statistical analysis, dynamic imaging, cortical surface registration, diffusion MRI, functional imaging, torso image analysis, and tract analysis.
In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our knowledge continues to grow, and so does the Handbook. For the third edition, it has expanded into a set of six books carefully focused on a specialized area or field of study. Each book represents a concise yet definitive collection of key concepts, models, and equations in its respective domain, thoughtfully gathered for convenient access. Circuits, Signals, and Speech and Image Processing presents all of the basic information related to electric circuits and components, analysis of circuits, the use of the Laplace...
This two-volume set LNCS 6691 and 6692 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Work-Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, IWANN 2011, held in Torremolinos-Málaga, Spain, in June 2011. The 154 revised papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 202 submissions for presentation in two volumes. The second volume includes 76 papers organized in topical sections on video and image processing; hybrid artificial neural networks: models, algorithms and data; advances in machine learning for bioinformatics and computational biomedicine; biometric systems for human-machine interaction; data mining in biomedicine; bio-inspired combinatorial optimization; applying evolutionary computation and nature-inspired algorithms to formal methods; recent advances on fuzzy logic and soft computing applications; new advances in theory and applications of ICA-based algorithms; biological and bio-inspired dynamical systems; and interactive and cognitive environments. The last section contains 9 papers from the International Workshop on Intelligent Systems for Context-Based Information Fusion, ISCIF 2011, held at IWANN 2011.

A unique book about the relations of computation to its mathematical basics and application models. The evolutionary interpretation of these developments creates a novel understanding of compulational design and control processes The analysis focuses on the pitfalls of transformations from the verbal-physical problem formulation to the final execution activities via mathematical modeling and programming. The book is enlightened with witty cartoons, and is based on a general under graduate level knowledge for anybody interested in the subject. An appropriate course material for introduction to philosphy of science, especially epistemology.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Information Processing in Medical Imaging, IPMI 2007, held in Kerkrade, The Netherlands, in July 2007. It covers segmentation, cardiovascular imaging, detection and labeling, diffusion tensor imaging, registration, image reconstruction, functional brain imaging, as well as shape models and registration.
This book is a collection of 13 review technical reports summarizing the presentations at the 2013 Joint Workshop of Fraunhofer IOSB and the Vision and Fusion Laboratory at KIT Karlsruhe, made by the students of the both institutions. The topics include image processing, visual inspection, pattern recognition and classification, planning and decision-making, human-machine interaction, world modeling, and optical signal processing.
Welcome to the 2008EuropeanConference onComputer Vision. These proce- ings are the result of a great deal of hard work by many people. To produce them, a total of 871 papers were reviewed. Forty were selected for oral pres- tation and 203 were selected for poster presentation, yielding acceptance rates of 4.6% for oral, 23.3% for poster, and 27.9% in total.
