About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Recently, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of sensors in the non-visible bands. As a result, there is a need for existing computer vision methods and algorithms to be adapted for use with non-visible sensors, or for the development of completely new methods and systems. Computer Vision Beyond the Visible Spectrum is the first book to bring together state-of-the-art work in this area. It presents new & pioneering research across the electromagnetic spectrum in the military, commercial, and medical domains. By providing a detailed examination of each of these areas, it focuses on the development of state-of-the-art algorithms and looks at how they can be used to solve existing & new challenges within computer vision. Essential reading for academics & industrial researchers working in the area of computer vision, image processing, and medical imaging, it will also be useful background reading for advanced undergraduate & postgraduate students.

About this title

Synopsis

Computer Vision is the area of Artificial Intelligence concerned with modelling and replicating human vision using computer software and hardware. Computer Vision is at the intersection of physiology, biology, psychology, computing and electronics, as it needs knowledge from all of these fields in order to understand and simulate the operation of the human vision system, including the eyes and relevant areas of the brain. This book brings together new research in this field and looks at how image-sensing devices have developed in recent years and how they are now used in a variety of commercial domains.
