This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Line drawing interpretation is a challenging area with enormous practical potential. At present, many companies throughout the world invest large amounts of money and human resource in the input of paper drawings into computers. The technology needed to produce an image of a drawing is widely available, but the transformation of these images into more useful forms is an active field of research and development. Machine Interpretation of Line Drawing Images - describes the theory and practice underlying the computer interpretation of line drawing images and - shows how line drawing interpretation systems can be developed. The authors show how many of the problems can be tackled and provide a thorough overview of the processes underpinning the interpretation of images of line drawings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book solves a long-standing problem in computer vision, the interpretation of line drawings and, in doing so answers many of the concerns raised by this problem, particularly with regard to errors in the placement of lines and vertices in the images. Sugihara presents a computational mechanism that functionally mimics human perception in being able to generate three-dimensional descriptions of objects from two-dimensional line drawings. The objects considered are polyhedrons or solid objects bounded by planar faces, and the line drawings are single-view pictures of these objects. Sugihara's mechanism has several potential applications. It can facilitate man-machine communication by extracting object structures automatically from pictures drawn by a designer, which can be particularly useful in the computer-aided design of geometric objects, such as mechanical parts and buildings. It can also be used in the intermediate stage of computer vision systems used to obtain and analyze images in the outside world. The computational mechanism itself is not accompanied by a large database but is composed of several simple procedures based on linear algebra and combinatorial theory. Contents:Introduction. Candidates for Spatial Interpretation. Discrimination between Correct and Incorrect Pictures. Correctness of HiddenPart-Drawn Pictures. Algebraic Structures of Line Drawings.

Edited volumes from the previous wo- shops in the series are available as Lecture Notes in Computer Science: LNCS Volume 1072 (GREC 1995 at Penn State University, USA), LNCS Volume 1389 (GREC 1997 in Nancy, France), LNCS Volume 1941 (GREC 1999 in Jaipur, India), and LNCS Volume 2390 (GREC 2001 in Kingston, Canada). Graphics recognition is a particular ?eld in the domain of document ana- sis that combines pattern recognition and image processing techniques for the analysis of any kind of graphical information in documents, either from paper or electronic formats. Topics of interest for the graphics recognition community are: vectorization; symbol recognition; analysis of graphic documents with - agrammatic notation like electrical diagrams, architectural plans, engineering drawings, musical scores, maps, etc. ; graphics-based information retrieval; p- formance evaluation in graphics recognition; and systems for graphics recog- tion. Inadditiontotheclassicobjectives,inrecentyearsgraphicsrecognitionhas faced up to new and promising perspectives, some of them in conjunction with other, a?ne scienti?c communities. Examples of that are sketchy interfaces and on-line graphics recognition in the framework of human computer interaction, or query by graphic content for retrieval and browsing in large-format graphic d- uments, digital libraries and Web applications. Thus, the combination of classic challenges with new research interests gives the graphics recognition ?eld an active scienti?c community, with a promising future.
Download or read book Machine Learning and Image Interpretation written by Terry Caelli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking new volume, computer researchers discuss the development of technologies and specific systems that can interpret data with respect to domain knowledge. Although the chapters each illuminate different aspects of image interpretation, all utilize a common approach - one that asserts such interpretation must involve perceptual learning in terms of automated knowledge acquisition and application, as well as feedback and consistency checks between encoding, feature extraction, and the known knowledge structures in a given application domain. The text is profusely illustrated with numerous figures and tables to reinforce the concepts discussed.

Download or read book Recent Advances in Artificial Intelligence Research and Development written by Jordi Vitrià and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a scientific field of longstanding tradition, with origins in the early years of computer science. Today AI has reached a level of maturity that allows us to build highly sophisticated systems which perform very different tasks. Nevertheless, its evolution has opened up a number of new problems, ranging from specific algorithms to system integration, which remain elusive and assure a long life for this research field. Research progress in this area is today an international challenge that must be supported by world-class meetings and organizations, but in spite of this fact, there is also an objective need for meetings and organizations that support and disseminate research at other levels. This book focuses on new and original research on Artificial Intelligence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity is an integral part of life in modern society. It is one form of energy and can be transported and converted into other forms. Throughout the world electricity is used to light homes and streets, cook meals, power computers and run industrial plants. Electricity is so integrated with our way of living that electricity consumption per person is used to measure the levels of economic development of countries. Any disruptions to electricity supply or blackouts will lead to huge financial loss and threats to lives well-being in the community. Electrical engineering is the profession and study of generating, transmitting, controlling and using electrical energy. It offers a wide range of exciting opportunities to those looking for a fulfilling, challenging and professional career. Electrical engineers are the designers of modern electrical machinery, power systems, transportation and communication systems. They work in various sectors of the community as well including the building industry, the manufacturing industry, the construction industry, consultancy services, technology development, education services as well as government. In these volumes, the essential aspects and fundamentals of electrical engineering are presented. In depth knowledge of various areas of electrical engineering are disseminated by learned scholars in their fields. It is hoped that readers will find all the writings comprehensive, informative and interesting. It is further hoped that these fundamentals will assist the readers to study advanced topics in electrical engineering. If the readers are electrical engineers themselves, it is hoped that the articles will broaden their horizon in electrical engineering and provide them with the necessary knowledge to further their profession as electrical engineers.
Download or read book Group Theoretical Methods in Image Understanding written by Ken-ichi Kanatani and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Image understanding is an attempt to extract knowledge about a 3D scene from 20 images. The recent development of computers has made it possible to automate a wide range of systems and operations, not only in the industry, military, and special environments (space, sea, atomic plants, etc.), but also in daily life. As we now try to build ever more intelligent systems, the need for "visual" control has been strongly recognized, and the interest in image under standing has grown rapidly. Already, there exists a vast body of literature-ranging from general philosophical discourses to processing techniques. Compared with other works, however, this book may be unique in that its central focus is on "mathematical" principles-Lie groups and group representation theory, in particular. In the study of the relationship between the 3D scene and the 20 image, "geometry" naturally plays a central role. Today, so many branches are inter woven in geometry that we cannot truly regard it as a single subject. Neverthe less, as Felix Klein declared in his Erlangen Program, the central principle of geometry is group theory, because geometrical concepts are abstractions of properties that are "invariant" with respect to some group of transformations. In this text, we specifically focus on two groups of transformations. One is 20 rotations of the image coordinate system around the image origin. Such coordi nate rotations are indeed irrelevant when we look for intrinsic image properties.
Download or read book Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns written by Dmitry Chetverikov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1993-08-30 with total page 886 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns (CAIP'93), held in Budapest, Hungary, in September 1993. Formerly, the events in this biennial conference series were thought as a forum where East European researchers and professionals from academia and industry had an opportunity to discuss their results and ideas with Western colleagues active in image processing and pattern recognition. Now, CAIP'93 has a much more international scope, and in the future these conferences will not any longertake place only in East European countries, but roam throughout whole Europe. Besides invited talks by Belikova, Gimel'farb, Haralick and Roska, the volume contains 114 contributions, either presented as lectures or posters and carefully selected by a highly competent international program committee from a total of some 230 submissions; thus the book gives a thorough survey on recent research results and their applications in image processing and pattern recognition. The proceedings is organized in 20 sections, for example on image data structures, image processing, edges and contours, Hough transforms and related methods, shape, motion, 3-D vision, character recognition and document processing, biomedical applications, industrial applications, and neural networks.

The IAPR 1990 Workshop on Syntactic and Structural Pattern Recognition is summarized,including the reports of its expert working groups, whose debates provide a fascinating perspective on the field. The book is an excellent text for a first-year graduate seminar in document image analysis,and is likely to remain a standard reference in the field for years.
Download or read book Product Modelling for Computer Integrated Design and Manufacture written by Michael Pratt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-09 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This state-of-the-art text explores developments in geometric modeling, product modeling and their applications. In particular, it looks at the means by which product geometry emerges from the conceptual stages of design, and the use of geometric reasoning for applications downstream of design, including manufacture ands assembly. Much existing design research is either totally geometry based or totally non-geometric, and the interface between the two areas is of intense interest to industry, as well as being crucial for the successful development of integrated systems for design and manufacture. This interface is currently not well understood and the book makes a significant contribution towards its understanding. This book is essential reading for technical managers and research and development engineers.
