However, the availability and application of research data relating to shape detection has traditionally been limited by a lack of computational and mathematical skill on the part of the intended end-user. As a result progress in areas such as the automation of visual inspection techniques, where shape detection couls play a pivotal role, has been relatively slow. In this volume, Violet Leavers, an established author and researcher in the field, examines the Hough Transform, a technique which is particularly relevant to industrial applications. By making computational recipes and advice available to the non-specialist, the book aims to popularize the technique, and to provide a bridge between low level computer vision tasks and specialist applications. In addition, Shape Detection in Computer Vision Using the Hough Transform assesses practical and theoretical issues which were previously only available in scientific literature in a way which is easily accessible to the non-specialist user. Shape Detection in Computer Vision Using the Hough Transform fills an obvious gap in the existing market. It is an important textbook which will provide postgraduate students with a thorough grounding in the field, and will also be of interest to junior research staff and program designers. 220 pp. Englisch.

Together they provide a snapshot of current machine vision research throughout the UK in 24 different institutions. There are also several papers from vision groups in the rest of Europe, North America and Australia. At the start of the book is an invited paper from the first keynote speaker, Robert Haralick. The quality of papers submitted to the conference was very high and the programme committee had a hard task selecting around half for presentation at the meeting and inclusion in these proceedings. It is a positive feature of the annual BMV A conference that the entire process from the submission deadline through to the conference itself and publication of the proceedings is completed in under 5 months. My thanks to members of the programme committee for their essential contribution to the success of the conference and to Roger Boyle, Charlie Brown, Nick Efford and Sue Nemes for their excellent local organisation and administration of the conference at the University of Leeds. 628 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Neural Network Applications contains the 12 papers presented at the second British Neural Network Society Meeting (NCM '91) held at King's College London on 1st October 1991. The meeting was sponsored by the Centre for Neural Networks, King's College, and the British Neural Network Society, and was also part of the DEANNA ESPRIT programme. The papers reflect the wide spectrum of neural network applications that are currently being attempted in industry and medicine. They cover medical diagnosis, robotics, plant control, machine learning, and visual inspection, as well as more general discussions on net learning and knowledge representation. The breadth and depth of coverage is a sign of the health of the subject, as well as indicating the importance of neural network developments in industry and the manner in which the applications are progressing. Among the actual topics covered are: Learning algorithms - theory and practice; A review of medical diagnostic applications of neural networks; Simulated ultrasound tomographic imaging of defects; Linear quadtrees for neural network based position invariant pattern recognition; The pRTAM as a hardware-realisable neuron; The cognitive modalities ('CM') system of knowledge representation - the DNA of neural networks This volume provides valuable reading for all those attempting to apply neural networks, as well as those entering the field, including researchers and postgraduate students in computational neuroscience, neurobiology, electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, and medicine. 168 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This collection of papers draws together a variety of approaches for adding ob ject orientation to the Z formal specification language. These papers are not a conference proceedings, but have a slightly more complicated his tory. This work has grown and evolved from some work originally done in the ZIP project, under the United Kingdom's Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) IED initiative. ZIP is a three year project which aims to make the use of the Z specification language more widespread. It hopes to achieve this by producing a standard for Zj developing a method for Zj building tool support for Zj and carrying out research into refinement, proof and concurrency in Z. The ZIP methods work includes performing a survey of current Z practitioners (reported in [Barden et al. 1992])j investigating current styles and methods of Z usagej and developing a Z Method handbook (available early in 1993). As part of this work, we carried out a comparative study of the ways in which object orientation has been combined with Z. A summary of that work has been published as [Stepney et al. 1992]. 156 pp. Englisch.
