Description
The Handbook of Computer Vision and Applications, Three-Volume Set is on one of the "hottest" subjects in today's intersection of Applied Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Applied Mathematics.The uniqueness of this set is that it is very applications-oriented. Examples of applications in different fields of modern science are particularly emphasized. In addition, a CD-ROM is included with each of the three volumes.
Reviews / Votes
"This three-volume set is a remarkable collection of articles on computer vision and image processing. Although written by a diverse collection of experts, the chapters have been superbly edited to achieve a coherent presentation, with consistent notation and perspective throughout.Spanning most areas in the field of computer vision, its applications and its foundations, most of the individual chapters are self-contained. The editors have also added well-written chapters to provide a solid base of introductory material.
This handbook on computer vision and its applications is a unique, comprehensive reference that all libraries and computer vision laboratories will want to have on their shelves. It will also serve as a rich resource for instructors teaching courses on computer vision and image processing; the enclosed CD contains pdf versions of all chapters, which will greatly enhance the value of the handbook." -David Fleet, Xerox Palo Alto Research Ctr.
"These three volumes collect an enormous amount of information about technical aspect of computer vision, and are written by some of the best European scientists in the field. Every chapter explores a particular device, technique, or application in much greater detail, and strives for greater accuracy of results, than standard computer vision books do. Applications and examples describe real systems, actually deployed in industrial and scientific settings.
Together, these three impressive volumes testify to the maturing role of computer vision as a discipline with both conceptual depth and great industrial, scientific, and technical relevance." -Carlo Tomasi, Robotics Laboratory, Stanford University

Persons
Horst Haussecker received his diploma in physics and doctoral degree from Heidelberg University in 1994 and 1996, respectively. He was a visiting scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1994. Currently he is conducting research in the image processing research group at the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing, IWR, where he also lectures on optical flow computation. His research interests include computer vision, especially image sequence analysis, infrared thermography, and fuzzy-image processing, as well as the application of image processing in physical sciences and oceanography.
