Digital Radiology: An Introduction for Technologists by Euclid Seeram is used for courses in radiographic imaging procedures, production, and exposure. This book will be a supplemental reading book in the Radiographic Imaging course and will specifically supplement Carlton/Principles of Radiologic Imaging. The book can also be used as a supplement for courses that address digital imaging techniques, such as Radiologic Physics, Radiographic Equipment and Quality Control or a course on Radiographic Technique. This book is intended for Radiologic Technologists across the globe, to meet the needs of the change from film-based imaging to filmless imaging or DIGITAL IMAGING. This book will deal with a wide range of topics to address the needs of various professional Radiologic Technology Associations, such as the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), the Canadian Association of Medical radiation Technologists, The College of Radiographers in the UK, and the Australian Society for Radiographers and therefore will be appropriate for our international sales force.

Halftoning is an essential step in the process of printing and in displaying images on limited bit-depth devices. Processing these images involves different challenges from those of continuous tone images.
Image Processing and Halftones covers the latest advances in the processing of halftone images. The book begins with an introduction to essential signal processing techniques and most the commonly used halftoning algorithms. Several important areas of halftone image processing are considered in detail:
inverse halftoning;
compression;
watermarking; and
data hiding.
The reader can gain a detailed and comprehensive view of the state-of-the-art techniques in halftoning and an understanding of their increasing application in secure printing, scanning, fax, image pipelines, and image transmission. Image Processing and Halftones includes worked examples throughout the text, allowing the book to be used as a introduction to image processing for halftones by advanced students.

Description
"Protecting Privacy in Video Surveillance" offers the state-of-the-art from leading researchers and experts in the field. This broad ranging volume discusses the topic from various technical points of view and also examines surveillance from a societal perspective. A comprehensive introduction carefully guides the reader through the collection of cutting-edge research and current thinking. The technical elements of the field feature topics from MERL blind vision, stealth vision and privacy by de-identifying face images, to using mobile communications to assert privacy from video surveillance, and using wearable computing devices for data collection in surveillance environments. Surveillance and society is approached with discussions of security versus privacy, the rise of surveillance, and focusing on social control. This rich array of the current research in the field will be an invaluable reference for researchers, as well as graduate students. Buy Now!

Description
This collection focuses on recent advances in laboratory and field testing of unsaturated soils. Leading researchers from fourteen countries to represent global research in the area of experimental unsaturated soil mechanics have been invited to contribute to this book. Twelve reports are presented dealing with measurement and control of suction and water content, mechanical, hydraulic, and geo-environmental testing, microstructure investigation, and applications of unsaturated soil monitoring to engineering behaviour of geo-structures.
The main motivation behind this volume is the rapid growth of experimental unsaturated soil mechanics over the last couple of decades. Several innovative laboratory and field techniques have been introduced in mechanical, hydraulic, and geo-environmental testing. However, this information is widely dispersed in journals and conference proceedings and researchers and engineers beginning to work in the field of unsaturated soil mechanics may find it difficult to identify suitable equipment and instrumentation for research or professional purposes. This volume aims at providing scientists and practitioners with a comprehensive overview of experimental unsaturated soil mechanics.
