This book was released on 2007 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans une première partie, nous définissons plusieurs schémas de compression en partant de l'état de l'art qu'est JPEG 2000 aujourd'hui. Les schémas de compressions que nous avons définis proposent d'utiliser une transformation pour la réduction de la redondance spatiale transformée en ondelette discrète (TOD) et une autre transformation pour réduire la redondance spectrale. Les transformations optimales sous les hypothèses faible distortion, permettant de réduire la redondance spectrale, s'obtiennent dans certains cas en minimisant un critère qui peut être interpréte comme le critère de l'analyse en composantes indépendantes (ACI) (minimisation de l'information mutuelle) additionné d'un terme toujours positif ou nul qui est une certaine mesure à l'orthogonalité de la transformation obtenue. Les performances obtenues en intégrant ces transformations dans nos schémas de compression montrent une amélioration des performances en comparaison à la transformation de Karhunen Loève (TKL). Dans la deuxième partie, nous proposons un modèle de mélange convolutif pour rechercher une transformation unique réduisant à la fois les redondances spatiales et spectrales. Nous définissons le critère à minimiser sous les hypothèses faibles distortions et nous montrons que ce critère peut s'interprété comme celui de l'ACI pour la séparation et déconvolution lorsque le critère à minimiser est l'information mutuelle auquel s'additionne un terme toujours positif ou nul. Puis nous proposons deux algorithmes permettant d'obtenir d'une part la transformation minimisant le critère dans le cas général, et d'autre part celle qui minimise le critère sous la contrainte que la distorsion dans le domaine transformée est la même que celle du domaine de l'image.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans cette thèse nous nous intéressons à l'analyse en composantes indépendantes (ACI) lorsqu'elle est utilisée en compression de données. Nous montrons d'abord que tes transformations d'ACI sont moins performantes que la transformée de Karhunen-Loève (TKL) en codage d'images en niveaux de gris et d'un signal musical, mais plus performantes que la TKL sur certains signaux synthétiques. Dans le cas d'un codage à haut et moyen débits (respectivement bas débit), le débit de compression est obtenu en calculant l'entropie d'ordre 1 (respectivement d'ordre 2,4 et 9) des coefficients transformés. La mesure de distorsion utilisée est l'erreur quadratique moyenne entre le signal d'entrée et le signal décodé. Ensuite nous montrons que pour des signaux non gaussiens la recherche de la transformation linéaire optimale peut se ramener à un problème d'ACI modifié. Deux nouveaux algorithmes, GCGsup et ICAorth, sont proposés pour calculer la transformation linéaire optimale et la transformation orthogonale optimale respectivement. Dans nos simulations, nous montrons qu'il existe des images en niveaux de gris et des signaux synthétiques qui sont codés plus efficacement avec GCGsup et ICAorth qu'avec la TKL. Enfin, nous nous intéressons également à un schéma de codage d'images multicomposantes associant des décompositions en ondelettes pour la décorrélation spatiale avec les transformations retournées par GCGsup et ICAorth pour réduire la redondance spectrale. Dans ce cas, nous n'avons pas eu le temps de trouver des images multicomposantes pour lesquelles les nouvelles transformation permettent d'obtenir des gains de codage significatifs par rapport à la TKL.

Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.
Download or read book Early Settlement and Subsistence in the Casma Valley Peru written by Shelia Pozorski and published by . This book was released on 1987-12 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Casma Valley of Peru’s north central coast contains the largest New World structure of its time period---2500 to 200 BC---as well as one of the densest concentrations of early sites. In this detailed and thought-provoking volume, Sheila and Thomas Pozorski date each major early site, assess this important valley’s diet and subsistence changes through time, and begin to reconstruct the development of Casma Valley society.Fifteen sites are surveyed, including Pampa de las Llamas-Moxeke, the earliest planned city in the New World. The Pozorskis then synthesize their own fieldwork and previous work in the Casma Valley to chart its development during the critical time when civilization was emerging. The result: a scenario which is somewhat revolutionary in the context of more traditional views of Andean prehistory.Early Settlement and Subsistence in the Casma Valley, Peru adds substantially to the growing body of evidence that the earliest development of Andean civilization occurred on the coast rather than in the highlands. This volume presents comparative data for students of emerging civilizations worldwide and will be of value not only to Andean and New World archaeologists but also to everyone interested in the emergence of complex societies.
Download or read book Geomarketing written by Gérard Cliquet and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title describes the state of the art in all areas of spatial marketing, discussing the various constituents which make up the geography of markets. Demand varies according to location and can be measured according to revenue, the number of households, spending patterns and lifestyles. Supply is also dependent on position, because prices, services, products and available shops rely on location, while the difference between supply and demand is the rationale for the role of the trader. The book also covers the way geographic techniques help to solve marketing problems and contains chapters written by contributors with extensive experience in this field; given that it is crucial for companies to direct their marketing correctly at their target audience, this will be indispensable reading for those involved in this area.

Download or read book The Social Logic of Space written by Bill Hillier and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a new theory of space: how and why it is a vital component of how societies work. The theory is developed on the basis of a new way of describing and analysing the kinds of spatial patterns produced by buildings and towns. The methods are explained so that anyone interested in how towns or buildings are structured and how they work can make use of them. The book also presents a new theory of societies and spatial systems, and what it is about different types of society that leads them to adopt fundamentally different spatial forms. From this general theory, the outline of a 'pathology of modern urbanism' in today's social context is developed.

Download or read book Faecal Sludge Management written by Linda Strande and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.
Download or read book Local Approximation Techniques in Signal and Image Processing written by Vladimir I︠A︡kovlevich Katkovnik and published by SPIE-International Society for Optical Engineering. This book was released on 2006 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with a wide class of novel and efficient adaptive signal processing techniques developed to restore signals from noisy and degraded observations. These signals include those acquired from still or video cameras, electron microscopes, radar, X-rays, or ultrasound devices, and are used for various purposes, including entertainment, medical, business, industrial, military, civil, security, and scientific. In many cases useful information and high quality must be extracted from the imaging. However, often raw signals are not directly suitable for this purpose and must be processed in some way. Such processing is called signal reconstruction. This book is devoted to a recent and original approach to signal reconstruction based on combining two independent ideas: local polynomial approximation and the intersection of confidence interval rule.

Download or read book Accounting for Culture written by Caroline Andrew and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2005-03-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply. The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development. Accounting for Culture is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike.
