Object Representation in Computer Vision II: ECCV '96 International Workshop, Cambridge, UK, April 13 - 14, 1996. Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) (v. 2)
$89.95
This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the second International Workshop on Object Representation in Computer Vision, held in conjunction with ECCV '96 in Cambridge, UK, in April 1996. The 15 revised full papers contained in the book were selected from 45 submissions for presentation at the workshop. Also included are three invited contributions based on the talks by Takeo Kanade, Jan Koenderink, and Ram Nevatia as well as a workshop report by the volume editors summarizing several panel discussions and the general state of the art in the area.

Computer Vision, Virtual Reality and Robotics in Medicine: First International Conference, CVRMed '95, Nice, France, April 3 - 6, 1995. Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)
$112.00
This volume comprises the proceedings of the First International Conference on Computer Vision, Virtual Reality and Robotics in Medicine, Nice, France in April 1995. Besides numerous halftones, the book contains 9 pages in colour. The 73 carefully selected papers reflect the state-of-the-art in this exciting new area of interdisciplinary research and development by documenting the cross-fertilization between computer science research work and advanced applications in medicine. The volume is organized in sections on segmentation, augmented reality, telemedicine, simulation, robotics, atlases, registration, motion, reconstruction, and vessels. It thus covers medical image understanding, registration problems in medicine, therapy planning, simulation and control.

Computer Vision: Specialized Processors for Real-Time Image Analysis: Workshop Proceedings Barcelona, Spain, September 1991 (ESPRIT Basic Research Series)
$107.00
Computer vision falls short of human vision in two respects: execution time and intelligent interpretation. This book addresses the question of execution time. It is based on a workshop on specialized processors for real-time image analysis, held as part of the activities of an ESPRIT Basic Research Action, the Working Group on Vision. The aim of the book is to examine the state of the art in vision-oriented computers. Two approaches are distinguished: multiprocessor systems and fine-grain massively parallel computers. The development of fine-grain machines has become more important over the last decade, but one of the main conclusions of the workshop is that this does not imply the replacement of multiprocessor machines. The book is divided into four parts. Part 1 introduces different architectures for vision: associative and pyramid processors as examples of fine-grain machines and a workstation with bus-oriented network topology as an example of a multiprocessor system. Parts 2 and 3 deal with the design and development of dedicated and specialized architectures. Part 4 is mainly devoted to applications, including road segmentation, mobile robot guidance and navigation, reconstruction and identification of 3D objects, and motion estimation.
