GPU-Based Techniques for Global Illumination Effects (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Graphics)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Real-time rendering poses severe computational requirements to computers. In order to maintain a continuous looking motion for the human eye, at least 20 images need to be generated in each second. An image consists of about a million pixels, which means that for a single pixel the visible point and its color should be computed in less than 50 ns...

Controlling Energy Demands in Mobile Computing Systems (Synthesis Lectures on Mobile and Pervasive Computing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2007

This lecture provides an introduction to the problem of managing the energy demand of mobile devices. Reducing energy consumption, primarily with the goal of extending the lifetime of battery-powered devices, has emerged as a fundamental challenge in mobile computing and wireless communication. The focus of this lecture is on a systems approach...

Application Design for Wearable Computing (Synthesis Lectures on Mobile and Pervasive Computing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Mobile access is the gating technology required to make information available at any place and at any time. Its application domains range from inspection, maintenance, manufacturing, and navigation to on-the-move collaboration, position sensing, and real-time speech recognition and language translation. In the course of developing wearable systems...

RFID Explained (Synthesis Lectures on Mobile and Pervasive Computing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2006

This lecture provides an introduction to Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), a technology enabling automatic identification of objects at a distance without requiring line-of-sight. Electronic tagging can be divided into technologies that have a power source (active tags), and those that are powered by the tag interrogation signal (passive...

Light Field Sampling (Synthesis Lectures on Image, Video, and Multimedia Processing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2006

Light field is one of the most representative image-based rendering techniques that generate novel virtual views from images instead of 3D models. The light field capture and rendering process can be considered as a procedure of sampling the light rays in the space and interpolating those in novel views. As a result, light field can be studied as a...

Modern Image Quality Assessment (Synthesis Lectures on Image, Video, & Multimedia Processing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2006

This book is about objective image quality assessment—where the aim is to provide computational models that can automatically predict perceptual image quality. The early years of the 21st century have witnessed a tremendous growth in the use of digital images as a means for representing and communicating information. A considerable percentage...

Biomedical Image Analysis: Tracking (Synthesis Lectures on Image, Video, & Multimedia Processing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2006

In biological and medical imaging applications, tracking objects in motion is a critical task. This book describes the state-of-the-art in biomedical tracking techniques. We begin by detailing methods for tracking using active contours, which have been highly successful in biomedical applications. The book next covers the major probabilistic...

High Dynamic Range Image Reconstruction (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Graphics)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

High dynamic range imaging (HDRI) is an emerging field that has the potential to cause a great scientific and technological impact in the near future. Although new, this field is large and complex, with non-trivial relations to many different areas, such as image synthesis, computer vision, video and image processing, digital photography, special...

Learning Programming using MATLAB (Synthesis Lectures on Electrical Engineering)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2007

Why learn programming? There are several answers to that. Computers are ubiquitous—your car, your mp3 player, the orbiting satellites which provide us with the ability to communicate and the automatic coffee maker all use a computer of some sort. Andcomputers require programming to function. Knowing how to program provides us with a bit of...

Microcontrollers Fundamentals for Engineers And Scientists (Synthesis Lectures on Digital Circuits and Systems)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2006

The purpose of this text, “Microcontrollers Fundamentals for Engineers and Scientists,” is to provide practicing scientists and engineers a tutorial on the fundamental concepts and use of microcontrollers. Today, microcontrollers, or single integrated circuit (chip) computers, play critical roles in almost all instrumentation and...

Data Integration: The Relational Logic Approach

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2010

Data integration is a critical problem in our increasingly interconnected but inevitably heterogeneous world. There are numerous data sources available in organizational databases and on public information systems like the World Wide Web. Not surprisingly, the sources often use different vocabularies and different data structures, being...

Computer Networks ISE: A Systems Approach

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2007

I what has happened in that time. We have seen the transformation of the Web from a small experiment to a World Wide phenomenon. We have seen the emergenceof voice over IP and peer-to-peer content sharing. We have seen technology speed up a hundred-fold, the emergence of broadband to the home, and the rise of botnets and other horrid security...
