Computer Vision

Understanding Geometric Algebra

From Surfaces to 3D Objects

Hamilton, Grassmann, and Clifford for Computer Vision and Graphics

Edited by Christopher W. Tyler, Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute, San Francisco, California, USA Computer Vision is the first book to take a full approach to the challenging issue of veridical 3D object representation. It introduces mathematical and conceptual advances that offer an unprecedented framework for analyzing the complex scene structure of the world. Leading theorists cover full 3D scene reconstruction, instead of the simplistic 2D planar algorithms employed in the past. They explore cutting-edge research on computational algorithms for scene analysis and present an integrated, complementary treatment of neural, behavioral, mathematical, and computational approaches. The text includes numerous graphics of complex processes, with many in color.

Kenichi Kanatani, Okayama University, Japan This book introduces geometric algebra with an emphasis on the background mathematics of Hamilton, Grassmann, and Clifford. Unlike similar texts, this one first gives separate descriptions of the various algebras and then explains how they are combined to define the field of geometric algebra. With useful historical notes and exercises, it gives readers insight into the mathematical theories behind complicated geometric computations. It shows how to describe and compute geometry for 3D modeling applications in computer graphics and computer vision.

Taan S. ElAli, Benedict College, Columbia, South Carolina, USA Books on linear systems typically combine coverage of both discrete and continuous systems. However, with coverage of this magnitude, not enough information is presented on either of the two subjects. Discrete linear systems warrant a book of their own, and this text provides just that. It offers in-depth coverage of both discrete linear systems and signal processing in one volume. Firmly rooted in basic mathematical principles, it includes many problems solved first by using analytical tools, then through application of MATLAB®. Each chapter provides examples that illustrate presented theoretical concepts. CRC Press December 2011: 234x156: 620pp Hb: 978-1-439-82818-2: £73.99 eBook: 978-1-439-89776-8 Prev.

Harald Throne-Holst, National Institute for Consumer Research, Oslo, Norway, Eivind Soto, SIFO, National Institute for Consumer Research, Oslo, Norway, Pal Strandbakken, SIFO, National Institute for Consumer Research, Oslo, Norway and Gerd Scholl, IOW Berlin, Germany In recent years, questions democratic influence on science and technology has received much attention. The lesson from the European unrest over GMO is that consumer-citizens will react negatively to just having to accept the introduction of new, partly untested technologies. A number of political bodies have started to involve citizens and to consider their concerns, attitudes, hopes, and worries in an early stage of the coming nano revolution. An international consortium of experts mapped a large number of these deliberations, mainly in the European Union and the United States, and proceeded to give closer analysis of a selection of those that were found most interesting. The second part of the book analyzes seven citizen-oriented deliberations. The third part of the book looks into a set of more stakeholder-oriented deliberations.
