This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis, IWCIA 2018, held in Porto, Portugal, in November 2018. The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. The papers are grouped into two sections. The first one includes nine papers devoted to theoretical foundations of combinatorial image analysis, including digital geometry and topology, array grammars, tilings and patterns, discrete geometry in non-rectangular grids, and other technical tools for image analysis. The second part includes nine papers presenting application-driven research on topics such as discrete tomography, image segmentation, texture analysis, and medical imaging.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery, DGCI 2006, held in Szeged, Hungary in October 2006. The 28 revised full papers and 27 revised poster papers presented together with two invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 99 submissions.

Tony finds a refuge from his problems at home and school among the ghost towns of the Colorado Rockies.
Jordan Peterson has attracted a high level of attention. Controversies may bring people into contact with Peterson's work, but ideas are arguably what keep them there. Focusing on those ideas, this book explores Peterson's answers to perennial questions. What is common to all humans, regardless of their background? Is complete knowledge ever possible? What would constitute a meaningful life? Why have humans evolved the capacity for intelligence? Should one treat others as individuals or as members of a group? Is a single person powerless in the face of evil? What is the relation between speech, thought, and action? Why have religious myths and narratives figured so prominently in human histo...
Technology is meant to make life easier and to raise its quality. Our interaction with technology should be designed according to human needs instead of us being required to adapt to technology. Even so, technology may change quickly and people and their habits change slowly. With the aim of supporting user acceptance of iTV, the focus of this book is on the usability of iTV applications. A method for developing interaction design patterns especially for new technologies is presented for the first time. The main characteristics covered in this new approach are: systematic identification of recurrent design problems; usability as a quality criterion for design solutions; integration of designers into the pattern development process including identification of designers' needs, and iterative evaluation and optimisation of patterns to encourage designers to accept and use them; usability testing to identify proven design solutions and their trade-offs; presentation of specific design guidelines.
