Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Content-based image retrieval is the set of techniques for retrieving relevant images from an image database on the basis of automatically derived image features. The need for efficient content-based image re trieval has increased tremendously in many application areas such as biomedicine, the military, commerce, education, and Web image clas sification and searching. In the biomedical domain, content-based im age retrieval can be used in patient digital libraries, clinical diagnosis, searching of 2-D electrophoresis gels, and pathology slides. I started my work on content-based image retrieval in 1995 when I was with Stanford University. The project was initiated by the Stan ford University Libraries and later funded by a research grant from the National Science Foundation. The goal was to design and implement a computer system capable of indexing and retrieving large collections of digitized multimedia data available in the libraries based on the media contents. At the time, it seemed reasonable to me that I should discover the solution to the image retrieval problem during the project. Experi ence has certainly demonstrated how far we are as yet from solving this basic problem.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the early 1990s, the establishment of the Internet brought forth a revolutionary viewpoint of information storage, distribution, and processing: the World Wide Web is becoming an enormous and expanding distributed digital library. Along with the development of the Web, image indexing and retrieval have grown into research areas sharing a vision of intelligent agents. Far beyond Web searching, image indexing and retrieval can potentially be applied to many other areas, including biomedicine, space science, biometric identification, digital libraries, the military, education, commerce, culture and entertainment. Machine Learning and Statistical Modeling Approaches to Image Retrieval describes several approaches of integrating machine learning and statistical modeling into an image retrieval and indexing system that demonstrates promising results. The topics of this book reflect authors' experiences of machine learning and statistical modeling based image indexing and retrieval. This book contains detailed references for further reading and research in this field as well.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Modeling Visual Aesthetics, Emotion, and Artistic Style offers a comprehensive exploration of the increasingly significant topic of the complex interplay between human perception and digital technology. It embodies the cumulative knowledge and efforts of a wide array of active researchers and practitioners from diverse fields including computer vision, affective computing, robotics, psychology, data mining, machine learning, art history, and movement analysis. This volume seeks to address the profound and challenging research questions related to the computational modeling and analysis of visual aesthetics, emotions, and artistic style, vital components of the human experience that are increasingly relevant in our digitally connected world.The book's vast scope encompasses a broad range of topics. The initial chapters lay a strong foundation with background knowledge on emotion models and machine learning, which then transitions into exploring social visual perception in humans and its technological applications. Readers will uncover the psychological and neurological foundations of social and emotional perception from faces and bodies. Subsequent sections broaden this understanding to include technology's role in detecting discrete and subtle emotional expressions, examining facial neutrality, and including research contexts that involve children as well as adults. Furthermore, the book illuminates the dynamic intersection of art and technology, the language of photography, the relationship between breath-driven robotic performances and human dance, and the application of machine learning in analyzing artistic styles.This book sets itself apart with its unique multidisciplinary approach, encouraging collaboration across related domains. Packed with comprehensive tutorials, theoretical reviews, novel methodologies, empirical investigations, and comparative analyses, the book offers a rich combination of knowledge and methodologies. The book's focus on cutting-edge research not only presents the latest developments in the field but also illuminates potential paths that can lead to significant advancements in computer and robotic applications.…

In den Warenkorbfor the use of those who wish to learn to translate English, and those gentlemen who wish to read the words spoken by the Chinese sages. Compiled from the best previous works, and arranged precisely, according to the pages of the Chinese text, by a Chinese compiler. In six volumes. Ho-nan : Printed at a Private Press, 1871 [but 1872]. Six volumes in two, duodecimo (140 x 105 mm), slightly later uniform bindings of half black calf double-ruled in gilt over green watered silk (only lightly rubbed), spines with raised bands in gilt and with red leather title-pieces stamped in gilt; marbled edges; marbled endpapers, front pastedowns with armorial ex libris of William F. Ross, with his motto "Think on"; original printed yellow upper wrappers bound in; pp. [4], [1]-50, [4], [51]-108, [4], [109]-181, [1 errata] ; [6], [1]-104, [6], 105-171, [blank], [6], 171-176, [two pages 181/176 bound in error], 177-181, [two pages 176/181 bound in error], 182-242;text in English; last 4 leaves with marginal tear partially restored, otherwise very good throughout. A rare Chinese "forgery" printed with movable wooden type. The Four Books (??;Sìsh?) areChinese classical textsfundamental to the philosophy of Confucianism. They were selected by the scholar Zhu Xiin theSong dynastyto act as an introduction to Confucian thought. Much later, in theMingandQingperiods, they became the core of the official curriculum for thecivil service examinations. The Four Books comprise theAnalects of Confucius, a collection of Confucius's sayings compiled by his disciples; the Mencius, a collection of conversations between Mencius (circa 380-289 BCE) and the princes of his time; and two chapters from the Book of Rites. This rare Henan imprint was printed on a private press using movable wooden type. Intended for Chinese speakers wishing to learn English, itis essentially a counterfeit version of the first English translation of the Four Books (published in parts in Hong Kong and London between 1861 and 1872) which does not acknowledge the original translators and compilers, themissionary and sinologist James Legge (1815-1897) and his assistant Wang Tao. It contains English translations of the works of Confucius (vols. I-III) and his later disciple Mencius (vols. IV-VI), together with biographical introductions to both philosophers by Legge. The edition was issued in two formats which had an identical Ho-nan : Printed at a Private Press, 1871imprint: the present pocket-size version, containing onlythe English textarranged in paragraphs following the Chinese original, was issued first; it preceded a larger format (270 x 140 mm) version with both the Chinese woodblock text as well as the English parallel translations. The preface in the first volume is dated March, 1872. Based on holdings in OCLC, it would seem the pocket-size, English-only variant is the rarer of the two versions.…
