Download or read book Image Fusion written by Tania Stathaki and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-08-29 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth in the use of sensor technology has led to the demand for image fusion: signal processing techniques that can combine information received from different sensors into a single composite image in an efficient and reliable manner. This book brings together classical and modern algorithms and design architectures, demonstrating through applications how these can be implemented. Image Fusion: Algorithms and Applications provides a representative collection of the recent advances in research and development in the field of image fusion, demonstrating both spatial domain and transform domain fusion methods including Bayesian methods, statistical approaches, ICA and wavelet domain techniques. It also includes valuable material on image mosaics, remote sensing applications and performance evaluation. This book will be an invaluable resource to R&D engineers, academic researchers and system developers requiring the most up-to-date and complete information on image fusion algorithms, design architectures and applications. - Combines theory and practice to create a unique point of reference - Contains contributions from leading experts in this rapidly-developing field - Demonstrates potential uses in military, medical and civilian areas

The book also examines the important role nanotechnology plays in the preparation of drugs, protein delivery, tissue engineering, cardiovascular biomaterials, hard tissue replacements, biosensors, and bio-MEMS. With contributions from renowned international experts and extensive reference lists in each chapter, this book provides detailed, practical information to produce biomaterials and employ them in biomedicine.

Download or read book Adaptronics and Smart Structures written by Hartmut Janocha and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptronics is the term encompassing technical fields that have become known internationally under the names "smart materials", "intelligent structures", and "smart structures". Adaptronics contributes to the optimisation of systems and products. It bridges the gap between material and system or product, and incorporates the search for multi-functional materials and elements and their integration in systems or structures. The authors of this book have taken on the task of displaying the current state of the art in this fascinating field. The system components, actuators, sensors and controllers, technical fundamentals, materials, design rules and practical solutions are all described. Selected sample applications are also presented and current development trends are demonstrated.

Download or read book Manuale operativo per la sicurezza nei cantieri edili written by Marco Grandi and published by Wolters Kluwer Italia. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il "Manuale operativo per la sicurezza nei cantieri edili" è un indispensabile strumento di pratica consultazione per tutti i soggetti operanti nel settore delle costruzioni; in particolare: datori di lavoro, dirigenti e preposti, responsabili e addetti del servizio di prevenzione e protezione, rappresentanti dei lavoratori per la sicurezza, coordinatori per la sicurezza, medici competenti e consulenti. Il libro fornisce infatti a tutti gli operatori del settore costruzioni le nozioni tecnico-pratiche fondamentali per svolgere con competenza e efficacia il proprio ruolo nella sicurezza sul cantiere. Presenta un ricco apparato di tabelle, schemi e disegni - sempre utili per verificare la corretta applicazione delle normative e delle procedure relative alla sicurezza nei cantieri edili - e in appendice modelli di comunicazione e modulistica indispensabile. Questa seconda edizione del volume, oltre ad essere completamente aggiornata negli aspetti tecnico-normativi, contiene un nuovo ampio capitolo dedicato ai coordinatori per la sicurezza, nel quale vengono illustrati i compiti e le responsabilità dei coordinatori per la progettazione e per l’esecuzione dei lavori nella gestione di cantieri, precisando passo-passo tutti gli adempimenti derivanti dal Titolo IV del D.Lgs. n. 81/2008. Oltre a costituire un completo prontuario per l’attività professionale, può costituire un testo di riferimento nei percorsi formativi per coordinatori della sicurezza e R.S.P.P., nonché nei corsi di laurea in ingegneria, architettura, scienze geologiche ed agrarie.
