Polygon Mesh Processing

Production Volume Rendering Design and Implementation

Mario Botsch, Leif Kobbelt, Mark Pauly, Pierre Alliez, and Bruno Levy

Magnus Wrenninge

Over the last several years, triangle meshes have become increasingly popular, as irregular triangle meshes have developed into a valuable alternative to traditional spline surfaces. This book discusses the whole geometry processing pipeline based on triangle meshes. The pipeline starts with data input, for example, a model acquired by 3D scanning techniques. This data can then go through processes of error removal, mesh creation, smoothing, conversion, morphing, and more. The authors detail techniques for those processes using triangle meshes.

This book is among the first to provide a full account of volume rendering techniques used for feature animation and visual effects production. It covers the theoretical underpinnings as well as the implementation of a working renderer. The author presents techniques and algorithms that are actively used in production work. He also describes both volumetric modeling and rendering techniques, illustrating how effects are created from start to finish. A companion rendering library of open source code is freely available online.

Logo Recognition Theory and Practice

Yunqian Ma and Yun Fu

This text presents a new logo recognition system based on line pattern features. To achieve the desired accuracy and efficiency, the system employs a conceptually simple three-stage hierarchy that includes polygonal approximation, indexing, and matching. In the first stage, raw logos are transformed into normalized line segment maps. In the second stage, effective line pattern features are used to index the database in order to generate a moderate number of likely models. In the third stage, an improved Line Segment Hausdorff Distance (LHD) measure screens and generates the best matches.

This book provides complete theoretical and practical treatment of manifold learning. An excellent entry point for readers new to the subject, it supplies a high-level introductory view of the topic as well as in-depth discussion of the key technical details. It summarizes up-to-date advances in manifold learning.

California State University East Bay, Hayward, USA

Current computers lack well-defined functions to accept sensual information such as vision, hearing and smelling (binding problem). They also lack any well-defined mechanisms to coordinate various behaviors in the presence of an object (conscious mechanism). This book serves as a breakthrough that opens a new world. Using the ideas presented in the book, computer systems can be developed to conduct conscious activities like human beings. Human beings will be able to develop mechanisms in which machines will have their own feelings and will behave according to their own consciousness.

Developed from the authors’ course on computational complexity theory, this book offers a gentle introduction to the theory of computational complexity. It explains the difficulties of computation, addressing problems that have no algorithm at all and problems that cannot be solved efficiently. The text assumes no prior knowledge of automata, advanced algorithmic analysis, and formal languages. Each chapter presents the fundamentals, examples, complete proofs of theorems, and a wide range of exercises.

This book is the first to use a conceptual and theoretical foundation to build such a set of practical tools and techniques. It is tied to no particular technology or genre, so it will be a useful reference for many years to come. Kremers covers many concepts universal to level design, such as interactivity, world building, immersion, sensory perception, pace, and more, and he shows how to apply these concepts in practical ways, with many examples from real games.

Collaboration and Social Networking, Second Edition Edited by

Jay Liebowitz

Chapman & Hall/CRC Studies in Informatics Series

University of Maryland University College, Adelphi, USA

Providing a broad overview of the state of the art, this book presents mathematical methods and tools for representing fuzzy information and reasoning within Semantic Web languages. It covers the three main streams of Semantic Web languages: triple languages (RDF and RDFS), conceptual languages (OWL, OWL 2, and their profiles), and rule-based languages (SWRL and RIF). With a focus on practical/implementation issues and application examples, the text explores such key topics as Semantic-based decision making, multimedia information retrieval, matchmaking, formalization, optimization, and reasoning.

Recent research shows that collaboration and social networking can foster knowledge sharing and innovation by sparking new connections, ideas, and practices. Yet these informal networks are often misunderstood and poorly managed. Building on the groundbreaking, bestselling first edition of the Knowledge Management Handbook, this new edition focuses on collaboration and social networking. Topics covered include implementing a knowledge sharing culture, embedding knowledge management activities to encourage collaboration, developing a knowledge retention strategy, applying social network analysis to map knowledge flows, and using systems engineering approaches for collaboration and social networking.

Security & Auditing

Thomas R. Peltier Associates, LLC, Wyandotte, Michigan, USA

Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland

This book illustrates how policies and procedures support the efficient running of an organization. It points out how security documents and standards are key elements in the business process, but should never be undertaken to satisfy a perceived audit or security requirement. Instead, policies, standards, and procedures should exist only to support business objectives or mission requirements. The authors emphasize how information security must be integrated into all business processes. The book examines Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 policies.

Explaining the fundamentals of cyber security and digital forensics, this text covers the basic principles of intrusion detection systems, encryption, and authentication. Starting with an overview of general concepts in security, it addresses hashing and digital certificates, enhanced software security, and network security. It introduces the concept of risk, threat analysis, and network forensics and covers data hiding, obfuscation, web infrastructures, and cloud and grid computing.
