Object Categorization
A unique multidisciplinary perspective on the problem of visual object categorization.
Shape Perception in Human and Computer Vision
This comprehensive and authoritative text/reference presents a unique, multidisciplinary perspective on Shape Perception in Human and Computer Vision. Rather than focusing purely on the state of the art, the book provides viewpoints from world-class researchers reflecting broadly on the issues that have shaped the field. Drawing upon many years of experience, each contributor discusses the trends followed and the progress made, in addition to identifying the major challenges that still lie ahead. Topics and features: examines each topic from a range of viewpoints, rather than promoting a specific paradigm; discusses topics on contours, shape hierarchies, shape grammars, shape priors, and 3D shape inference; reviews issues relating to surfaces, invariants, parts, multiple views, learning, simplicity, shape constancy and shape illusions; addresses concepts from the historically separate disciplines of computer vision and human vision using the same “language” and methods.
Medial measures for recognition, mapping and categorization
Visual shape analysis plays a fundamental role in perception by man and by computer, allowing for inferences about properties of objects and scenes in the physical world. Mathematical approaches to describing visual form can benefit from the use of representations that simultaneously capture properties of an object's outline as well as its interior. Motivated by the success of medial models, this doctoral thesis revisits a quantity related to medial axis computations, the average outward flux of the gradient of the Euclidean distance function from a boundary, and then addresses three distinct problems using this measure. First, I consider the problem of view sphere partitioning for view-base...
Sensor Based Intelligent Robots
Robotics is a highly interdisciplinary research topic, that requires integration of methods for mechanics, control engineering, signal processing, planning, gra- ics, human-computer interaction, real-time systems, applied mathematics, and software engineering to enable construction of fully operational systems. The diversity of topics needed to design, implement, and deploy such systems implies that it is almost impossible for individual teams to provide the needed critical mass for such endeavors. To facilitate interaction and progress on sensor-based intelligent robotics inter-disciplinary workshops are necessary through which - depthdiscussioncanbeusedforcrossdisseminationbetweendi?erentd...
Image Analysis and Recognition
ICIAR 2006, the International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition, was the third ICIAR conference, and was held in P ́ ovoa de Varzim, Portugal. ICIARisorganizedannually,andalternatesbetweenEuropeandNorthAmerica. ICIAR 2004 was held in Porto, Portugal and ICIAR 2005 in Toronto, Canada. The idea of o?ering these conferences came as a result of discussion between researchers in Portugal and Canada to encourage collaboration and exchange, mainlybetweenthesetwocountries,butalsowiththeopenparticipationofother countries, addressing recent advances in theory, methodology and applications. The response to the call for papers for ICIAR 2006 was higher than the two previous editions. From 38...
Computational and Psychophysical Mechanisms of Visual Coding
All visual tasks, from the simplest computer graphics program to the most complex biological visual system, require an underlying representation of visual information. The structure or coding of this representation provides the framework for processing the information. Both the biological and computational communities have had to address the task of designing or inferring visual coding strategies. This volume, by some of the most active contributors in the field of visual coding, describes some of the mechanisms used to code descriptions of visual phenomena in both areas. These chapters illustrate the similarities in the problems considered and the common models and algorithms that are proposed to solve them. The book includes an overview that sets the later chapters in context. Researchers in neuroscience and computational vision will find a wealth of new ideas here.
Visualization and Interpretation
An analysis of visual epistemology in the digital humanities, with attention to the need for interpretive digital tools within humanities contexts. In the several decades since humanists have taken up computational tools, they have borrowed many techniques from other fields, including visualization methods to create charts, graphs, diagrams, maps, and other graphic displays of information. But are these visualizations actually adequate for the interpretive approach that distinguishes much of the work in the humanities? Information visualization, as practiced today, lacks the interpretive frameworks required for humanities-oriented methodologies. In this book, Johanna Drucker continues her in...
