360 Degrees Paris


Book Description

Using a digital camera, an electronic tripod, and digital imaging technology, photographer Nick Wood has developed a new way to photograph landscapes and cityscapes, placing the viewer in the center of dramatic 3600 panoramas. In 3600 Paris," the follow-up to 3600 New York" and 3600 London," Wood uses this revolutionary process to shed new light on one of the world's most beautiful cities. Including images of well-known landmarks seen with fresh eyes (Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Champs-Elysies), as well as the singular and distinctive locales visitors love to discover (the home of Godiva chocolates, a market for exotic birds, the Paris Plage along the banks of the Seine), 3600 Paris" is the perfect souvenir of the City of Light. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all of the photographs as QuickTime movies.




3D Imaging—Multidimensional Signal Processing and Deep Learning


Book Description

This book gathers selected papers presented at the conference “Advances in 3D Image and Graphics Representation, Analysis, Computing and Information Technology,” one of the first initiatives devoted to the problems of 3D imaging in all contemporary scientific and application areas. The two volumes of the book cover wide area of the aspects of the contemporary multidimensional imaging and outline the related future trends from data acquisition to real-world applications based on new techniques and theoretical approaches. This volume contains papers aimed at the multidimensional systems and signal processing, deep learning, mathematical approaches and the related applications. The related topics are multidimensional multi-component image processing; multidimensional image representation and super-resolution; compression of multidimensional spatio-temporal images; multidimensional image transmission systems; multidimensional signal processing; prediction and filtering of multidimensional process; intelligent multi-spectral and hyper-spectral image processing, intelligent multi-view image processing, 3D deep learning, 3D GIS and graphic database; data-based MD image retrieval and knowledge data mining; watermarking, hiding and encryption of MD images; intelligent visualization of MD images; forensic analysis systems for M3D graphics algorithm; 3D VR (Virtual Reality)/AR (Augmented Reality); applications of multidimensional signal processing; applications of multidimensional systems; multidimensional filters and filter-banks.




Cardiac SPECT Imaging


Book Description

Cardiac SPECT Imaging, Second Edition offers the best of all possible worlds--a critical topic, internationally recognized authors and cutting-edge coverage. It guides you through all aspects of the modality--from basic principles (acquiring and processing images, quality control)...and clinical applications (evaluating myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease)...to the very latest equipment. It even compares SPECT with other modalities (PET, CT, MRI, and echocardiography) to ensure smart, cost-effective decisions by both the cardiologist and nuclear medicine physician.Look for new chapters on attenuation correction, gated perfusion SPECT, radiopharmaceuticals, and myocardial perfusion SPECT, as well as the very latest on myocardial perfusion SPECT in conjunction with exercise and pharmacologic stress, assessment of perfusion/viability with Tc-99m agents, how SPECT compares with other advanced cardiac imaging modalities, and more!

Acoustical Imaging


Book Description

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging at the Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany during April 3 -5, 1991. It was the first time that the symposium was held in Europe after major political changes happened in that area. The freedom to travel for all people from eastern European countries was an obvious reason for the great numbers of sub mitted abstracts and for numerous conference participants. 193 of 239 submitted contributions from 29 countries were accepted for presentation by authors from USA (13%), Canada (2%), Japan (7%), Peoples Republic of China (7%), United Kingdom (4%), France (7%), Italy (3%), Poland (4%), Soviet Union (7%), Germany (28%) and other countries (18%). 283 scientists from 29 countries attended the conference representing the interdisciplinary field between mathematics, physics, engineering and medicine. 151 papers were available for publication in this proceedings covering the topics 1. Mathematics and Physics of Acoustical Imaging 2. Components and Systems 3. Applications in Medicine and Biology 4. Applications in Nondestructive Testing 5. Remote Sensing Applications 6. Industrial Applications A relative large number of contributions on acoustical microscopy was included in the conference program within topics 3 and 4. Also, papers on "non-traditional" acoustical imaging subjects, e. g. on phonon imaging and on remote sensing in the atmosphere, have broadened the scope of the conference. The success and stimulation of the conference and of the papers presented in this volume is owed, of course to the authors and participants.




Practical Radiographic Imaging


Book Description

A major revision and update of Fuch 's Radiographic Exposure and Quality Control including a title change. The book is a most expansive and comprehensive text on radiographic exposure and imaging, encompassing the vast and intricate changes that have taken place in the field. As with previous editions, the book is intended to complement radiographic physics texts rather than duplicate them, and all chapters on conventional radiography have been fully revised to reflect state-of-the-art imaging technology.




Urban Informatics


Book Description

This open access book is the first to systematically introduce the principles of urban informatics and its application to every aspect of the city that involves its functioning, control, management, and future planning. It introduces new models and tools being developed to understand and implement these technologies that enable cities to function more efficiently – to become ‘smart’ and ‘sustainable’. The smart city has quickly emerged as computers have become ever smaller to the point where they can be embedded into the very fabric of the city, as well as being central to new ways in which the population can communicate and act. When cities are wired in this way, they have the potential to become sentient and responsive, generating massive streams of ‘big’ data in real time as well as providing immense opportunities for extracting new forms of urban data through crowdsourcing. This book offers a comprehensive review of the methods that form the core of urban informatics from various kinds of urban remote sensing to new approaches to machine learning and statistical modelling. It provides a detailed technical introduction to the wide array of tools information scientists need to develop the key urban analytics that are fundamental to learning about the smart city, and it outlines ways in which these tools can be used to inform design and policy so that cities can become more efficient with a greater concern for environment and equity.
