In the medical world, the problems of back and spine are usually inseparable. They can take various forms ranging from the low back pain to scoliosis and osteoporosis. Medical Imag‐ ing provides very useful information about the patient's condition, and the adopted treat‐ ment depends on the symptoms described and the interpretation of this information
Neural networks are increasingly being used in the field of dentistry. The aim of this literature review was to visualize the state of the art of artificial intelligence in dental applications, such as the detection of teeth, caries, filled teeth, crown, prosthesis, dental implants and endodontic treatment
With the popularization of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications and the continuous development of the power grid network, identifying power line scenarios in advance is very important for the safety of low-altitude flight. The power line scene recognition (PLSR) under complex background environments is particularly important. The complex background environment of power lines is usually…
This book is a must-have for anyone serious about rendering in real time. With the announcement of new ray tracing APIs and hardware to support them, developers can easily create real-time applications with ray tracing as a core component. As ray tracing on the GPU becomes faster, it will play a more central role in real-time rendering. Ray Tracing Gems provides key building blocks for develope…
This book guides its audience—which can range from novice users to experts— though a 55-chapter tour of Google Earth Engine. A sequenced and diverse set of lab materials, this is the product of more than a year of effort from more than a hundred individuals, collecting new exercises from professors, undergraduates, master’s students, PhD students, postdocs, and independent consultants. …
Marken sind allgegenwärtig und doch so vielfältig. Es gibt sie in allen Ausprägungen und Formen: laut und schrill, leise und bedacht, inspirierend und motivierend, vertrauenswürdig und verlässlich. Sie transportieren Produkteigenschaften, zeichnen Qualität aus und vermindern das Kaufrisiko. Marken öffnen aber auch die Tür in weitläufige Gedankenwelten: Man schaut ARD und ist dabei,…
This open access book delves into the fundamental principles and cutting-edge techniques of plenoptic imaging and processing. Derived from the Latin words "plenus" (meaning "full") and "optic," plenoptic imaging offers a transformative approach to optical imaging. Unlike conventional systems that rely solely on the pinhole camera model to capture spatial information, plenoptic imaging aims to d…
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Spatio-temporal Image Analysis for Longitudinal and Time-Series Image Data, STIA 2014, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2014 in Boston, MA, USA, in September 2014. The 7 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 15 submissions. They are organized in …
This book describes the basic principles underlying the generation, coding, transmission and enhancement of speech and audio signals, including advanced statistical and machine learning techniques for speech and speaker recognition with an overview of the key innovations in these areas. Key research undertaken in speech coding, speech enhancement, speech recognition, emotion recognition and spe…
This book presents various contributions of splines to signal and image processing from a unified perspective that is based on the Zak transform (ZT). It expands the methodology from periodic splines, which were presented in the first volume, to non-periodic splines. Together, these books provide a universal toolbox accompanied by MATLAB software for manipulating polynomial and discrete splines…
