Advanced Real-Time Manipulation of Video Streams


Book Description

Diminished Reality is a new fascinating technology that removes real-world content from live video streams. This sensational live video manipulation actually removes real objects and generates a coherent video stream in real-time. Viewers cannot detect modified content. Existing approaches are restricted to moving objects and static or almost static cameras and do not allow real-time manipulation of video content. Jan Herling presents a new and innovative approach for real-time object removal with arbitrary camera movements.




Advanced Differential Equations


Book Description

Advanced differential equations appear in several applications especially as mathematical models in economics, an advanced term may for example reflect the dependency on anticipated capital stock. This book also deals with nonoscillation properties of scalar advanced differential equations. Some new oscillation and nonoscillation criteria are given for linear delay or advanced differential equations with variable coefficients and not necessarily constant delays or advanced arguments. The present book has been written in the light of the latest syllabi of several Universities. The subject matter has been presented in such a way that it is easily accessible to students. The method of presentation is very clear and lucid which can be easily followed by the students. The contents conform to the specified syllabi and are so structured as to enable the student to move easily from the fundamental to the complex. It is our earnest hope that this book will be of great value to all our students.




Advances in Spacecraft Attitude Control


Book Description

Spacecraft attitude maneuvers comply with Euler's moment equations, a set of three nonlinear, coupled differential equations. Nonlinearities complicate the mathematical treatment of the seemingly simple action of rotating, and these complications lead to a robust lineage of research. This book is meant for basic scientifically inclined readers, and commences with a chapter on the basics of spaceflight and leverages this remediation to reveal very advanced topics to new spaceflight enthusiasts. The topics learned from reading this text will prepare students and faculties to investigate interesting spaceflight problems in an era where cube satellites have made such investigations attainable by even small universities. It is the fondest hope of the editor and authors that readers enjoy this book.
