Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a groundbreaking method for solving inverse problems in computer vision, where the goal is to infer the structure of objects from incomplete or degraded data. The author presents a method rooted in numerical analysis for solving ill-posed problems, where a known equation models a sequence of steps that have degraded the scene. Reconstruction is attempted by finding a solution that minimizes the deviation from that equation. The book exemplifies this method through its application to the deblurring problem, where deblurring is achieved by computing a succession of images, each slightly deblurred from the previous, such that the complete set satisfies the equations specifying the diffusion process of blurring. This approach is a novel method of regularization for problems where a scale-space parameter can be used to separate the information extracted from the image. The author argues that this method has great promise for a number of applications in computer vision, including interpolation of sparse data, feature extraction, and the investigation of the information content of zero-crossings in the raw primal sketch. The book's insights on the main subject significantly contribute to the field of computer vision and will be of great interest to researchers and practitioners alike.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed summary of the methods, uses, and applications of various knowledge aggregation techniques. The author begins with an overview of the basic concepts, including the use of support vectors and state space. This book then dissects and delineates four methods - Relaxation Labeling, Stochastic Relaxation, Stochastic Assessment of Knowledge, and the Theory of Evidence - each with unique applications and advantages. These methods are compared and contrasted in terms of their state space, evidence types, and efficiency. The author maintains a consistent framework for comparison, using terms, notations, and examples that highlight the similarities and differences between the methods. The intent is to equip readers to understand and select the appropriate method for their specific application and to facilitate the development of new and more effective methods for knowledge aggregation.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is of great interest to those in the realms of science, especially neuroscience, as it challenges the conventional view of receptive fields. It presents a novel model for studying receptive field structure through mathematical analysis. By exploring the relationship between visual information and the mechanisms within the visual system, the author argues that the structure of receptive fields provides a foundation for understanding how the visual system represents and processes visual information. Through a series of experiments, the author makes a convincing case that the structure of receptive fields is closely linked to the way the visual system encodes and decodes visual information. This idea significantly advances our understanding of how we see and interact with the world around us.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the mathematical structure of zero crossings in a solution to the heat equation, providing a theoretical basis for the analysis of signal and image data representations. It draws parallels between the investigation of zero crossings and human neural processing of visual data, suggesting the potential of this mathematical framework in artificial intelligence and representation theory. The author examines the unique properties of zero crossings, their evolution over time, and their significance in determining the initial data of a solution. Through a detailed analysis of parabolic initial value problems, the book establishes that zero crossings are never created as time increases and that they correspond to surfaces separating positive and negative regions of the solution. The author demonstrates that the knowledge of zero crossings together with gradient data at those crossings uniquely determines the initial data, providing an algorithm for reconstructing it via the backwards heat equation. This book offers essential insights into the behavior and utility of zero crossings, expanding our understanding of their role in data representation and analysis.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a novel viewpoint on the Dempster/Shafer Theory of Evidence, a notable framework for reasoning with uncertainty. The author argues that the theory can be understood as a form of statistical analysis of expert opinions. This perspective simplifies the interpretation of the theory's core combination formulas, revealing that they represent Bayesian updating applied to boolean assertions. The book also proposes an alternative formulation that employs probabilistic opinions of experts, leading to simpler formulas and fewer variables while maintaining the essential idea of tracking expert opinion statistics. The combination formula, rather than extending Bayes' theorem for combining probabilities, contains nothing more than Bayes' formula applied to boolean assertions. By treating the formulation as algebraic structures, and by treating opinions as the Statistics on a collection of opinions, the book provides canonical examples with which to construct states of belief to analogous real situations. This approach provides a deeper theoretical basis for the application of canonical examples to probabilistic situations with uncertainties.
