This book grew out of our efforts to provide a balanced coverage of essential elements of machine vision systems to students in our undergraduate and early graduate classes. The field of machine vision, or computer vision, has been growning at a fast face. The growth in this field, unlike most established fields, has been both in breadth and...
He was the most dangerous fugitive alive, but he didn’t exist!
Nickie Haflinger had lived a score of lifetimes . . . but technically he didn’t exist. He was a fugitive from Tarnover, the high-powered government think tank that had educated him. First he had broken his identity code—then he...
This book is an excellent introduction to vibrational spectroscopy for scientists in academia and industry. Both infrared and Raman spectroscopy are covered comprehensively and up-to-date. Therefore the book may also be used as a handbook for easy reference.
Written in the language of chemists, it explains the basic theory...

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is the glue that holds together MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows NT. It is a client-server technology -- a way of making programs on two different systems work together like one. The advantage of RPC over other distributing programming techniques is that you can link two systems together using simple C...
Image synthesis, or rendering, is a field of transformation: it changes
geometry and physics into meaningful images. Because the most popular
algorithms frequently change, it is increasingly important for researchers
and implementors to have a basic understanding of the principles of image
synthesis. Focusing on theory, Andrew...
Beginning with the company's origins in the punched-card technology of the late nineteenth century, this wellresearched volume tells how IBM became so rapidly the dominant company in the computer industry. In doing so, it provides refreshing new insights on the origins and development of that industry.
Our primary aim is to introduce the render to a wide range of numerical algorithms,
explain their fundamental principles and illustrate their application. The algorithms are
implemented in the software package ÐÐТ1.ÐЮ because it provides a powerful tool
to help with these studies.
As ever there are people and cats to thank. There is also on this occasion electronic mail. The first draft of this book took shape in various cafeterias in Florence during YV’s visit to Europe in 1992 and matured on beaches and in restaurants during SHH’s visit to Sydney in 1993. Since then the mail wires between Sydney and Norwich, or...
