Image Processing in Radiation Therapy

Multidimensional Signal, Image, and Video Processing and Coding, Second Edition

This is a textbook intended for upper-division undergraduate and graduate-level courses on digital image and video processing, taught in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and information processing departments. It provides balanced coverage of the fundamental concepts and the cutting-edge technologies that are needed to develop practical applications, starting from basic digital signal processing principles and progressing to develop key concepts of multidimensional signal processing.

The book starts out with 2-D signal processing theory, including 2-D systems, partial difference equations, Fourier and Z-transforms, filter stability, discrete transforms such as DFT and DCT and their fast algorithms, and 2-D or spatial filter design. The second part covers image and video processing and coding. It begins with a chapter introducing basic image processing, and covers estimation/ restoration and source coding of both images and video, concluding with a chapter on network transmission of video including consideration of packet loss and joint source-network issues.

This book also has an enclosed CD-ROM that contains many short MATLAB programs that complement examples and exercises on MDSP. There are numerous short video clips showing applications in video processing and coding, plus a copy of the vidview video player for playing .yuv video files on a Windows PC and an illustration of effect of packet loss on H.264/AVC coded bitstreams.

No other resource for image and video processing contains the same breadth of up-to-date coverage; competing titles teach either multidimensional signal processing or video processing, but not both.

FEATURE: Expansion of the H.264/AVC standard, including Scalable Video Coding (SVC).

BENEFIT: This standard provides good video quality at substantially lower bit rates than previous standards, while enabling practical and economical designs. The H.264 video codec is highly flexible and has a very broad application range that covers all forms of digital compressed video from low bit-rate Internet streaming applications to Blu-Ray, HDTV broadcast and Digital Cinema applications with nearly lossless coding. With the use of H.264, bit rate savings of 50% or more are reported. The SVC extension was only completed in November 2007 so is relatively recent and not covered in most other sources.

FEATURE: New topic: summary of needed results from information theory. Introduces entropy, variable length coding, Huffman codes, arithmetic codes, and source and channel coding theorems.

BENEFIT: Several topics in image and video coding are based on the results of information theory, such as lossless data compression and coding. This offers major improvements in image resolution and clarity.

FEATURE: Solved examples and unsolved problems.

BENEFIT: Solved examples allow readers to see how sample problems are typically dealt with, while the unsolved exercises allow professors, students and engineers to get to grips with what they have just read and apply their newfound knowledge, thereby improving the learning process.

FEATURE: Includes coverage of network video coding.

BENEFIT: Network coding techniques allow improved performance and more innovative applications. None of the competing titles links network coding and video coding in this way.

This reader-friendly text will equip undergraduates with a deeper understanding of the topic as well as being valuable for further developing knowledge for self-study.

Dimensionality Reduction (Chapman & Hall/Crc Computer Science & Data Analysis)

Dimensionality reduction (DR) refers to the problem of projecting high-dimensional data onto a low-dimensional manifold so that relevant information is preserved. DR arises in many application areas where direct processing of the data is too costly. Through a machine-learning perspective that focuses on algorithms rather than theory, Dimensionality Reduction provides an overview of methods for DR including real-world applications taken from areas such as speech processing and computer vision. Interest in this area has exploded in recent years, making it a growing field of research. This book serves as the first reference for interested graduate students and researchers.

Scattering theory has a long history and underpins a range of information and communications technologies.  This book provides readers with an overview of  methods connecting formal processes associated with solutions of homogeneous and inhomogeneous Helmholtz equations, for example, to statistical methods and diffusion-based modeling for simulating complex scattering processes.  A number of case studies are included, as well as problems at the end of each chapter.

Mastering Beauty Retouching

MASTERING BEAUTY RETOUCHING shows professionals and students how to use Adobe Photoshop CS5's extensive set of tools to execute a variety of realistic photo retouching techniques. Concentrating on facial retouching, each chapter presents a series of different techniques applied to the same set of images with before-and-after shots so readers can see side-by-side comparisons of each. Each retouching style is talked through step-by-step to help readers understand which to use and how different characteristics such as age and ethnicity factor into the decision of which technique to apply. Photo retouching is a quickly growing field, and there is no other book like this available.

Computer Processing of Remotely-Sensed Images: An Introduction

This fourth and full colour edition updates and expands a widely-used textbook aimed at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in remote sensing and GIS in Geography, Geology and Earth/Environmental Science departments. Existing material has been brought up to date and new material has been added. In particular, a new chapter, exploring the two-way links between remote sensing and environmental GIS, has been added.

New and updated material includes:

• A website at http://www.wiley.com/go/mather4 that provides access to an updated and expanded version of the MIPS image processing software for Microsoft Windows, PowerPoint slideshows of the figures from each chapter, and case studies, including full data sets,
• Includes new chapter on Remote Sensing and Environmental GIS that provides insights into the ways in which remotely-sensed data can be used synergistically with other spatial data sets, including hydrogeological and archaeological applications,
• New section on image processing from a computer science perspective presented in a non-technical way, including some remarks on statistics,
• New material on image transforms, including the analysis of temporal change and data fusion techniques,
• New material on image classification including decision trees, support vector machines and independent components analysis, and
• Now in full colour throughout. 

This book provides the material required for a single semester course in Environmental Remote Sensing plus additional, more advanced, reading for students specialising in some aspect of the subject. It is written largely in non-technical language yet it provides insights into more advanced topics that some may consider too difficult for a non-mathematician to understand. The case studies available from the website are fully-documented research projects complete with original data sets. For readers who do not have access to commercial image processing software, MIPS provides a licence-free, intuitive and comprehensive alternative.
