Computational Photography: Methods and Applications


Computational Photography: Methods and Applications Summary:
CRC Press; 1 edition | 2010 | ISBN: 1439817499 | 564 pages | PDF | 63 MB

Computational photography refers broadly to imaging techniques that enhance or extend the capabilities of digital photography. This new and rapidly developing research field has evolved from computer vision, image processing, computer graphics and applied optics—and numerous commercial products capitalizing on its principles have already appeared in diverse market applications, due to the gradual migration of computational algorithms from computers to imaging devices and software. Computational Photography: Methods and Applications provides a strong, fundamental understanding of theory and methods, and a foundation upon which to build solutions for many of today's most interesting and challenging computational imaging problems. Elucidating cutting-edge advances and applications in digital imaging, camera image processing, and computational photography, with a focus on related research challenges, this book: * Describes single capture image fusion technology for consumer digital cameras * Discusses the steps in a camera image processing pipeline, such as visual data compression, color correction and enhancement, denoising, demosaicking, super-resolution reconstruction, deblurring, and high dynamic range imaging * Covers shadow detection for surveillance applications, camera-driven document rectification, bilateral filtering and its applications, and painterly rendering of digital images * Presents machine-learning methods for automatic image colorization and digital face beautification * Explores light field acquisition and processing, space-time light field rendering, and dynamic view synthesis with an array of cameras Because of the urgent challenges associated with emerging digital camera applications, image processing methods for computational photography are of paramount importance to research and development in the imaging community. Presenting the work of leading experts, and edited by a renowned authority in digital color imaging and camera image processing, this book considers the rapid developments in this area and addresses very particular research and application problems. It is ideal as a stand-alone professional reference for design and implementation of digital image and video processing tasks, and it can also be used to support graduate courses in computer vision, digital imaging, visual data processing, and computer graphics, among others.

The Law and Business of International Project Finance By Scott L. L. Hoffman


The Law and Business of International Project Finance By Scott L. L. Hoffman Summary:
Publisher: Transnational Publishers; 2 edition (May 1, 2001) | ISBN-10: 1571051767 | ISBN-13: 978-1571051769 | 723 Pages | PDF | 7.2 MB

Capital-intensive projects throughout the world -- including large-scale energy, infrastructure, toll road, solid waste, and recycling projects -- rely on project finance as the most important financing technique available. But the complexity of project finance requires that the practitioner predict and resolve a number of potential risks involving bankruptcy, currency, and political issues, among others, and often in emerging economies. This is the first comprehensive, multi-discipline book to address these risks and their resolution and to detail each of the elements necessary for a successful project financing. Mirroring the structure of an actual project finance deal, this handbook examines each step of the process, from the rationale for the project finance, through risk allocation and mitigation, to dispute resolution. Topics discussed include financing sources, environmental issues, bilateral and multilateral support, contract aspects and typical contract terms, project contracts as credit support, project finance loan documents, collateral documents, and permits.

When a reclusive, 38-year-old writer hires a near-illiterate young woman as an assistant at his suburban home in Carmel Heights, near Rochester, N.Y., he's unaware that a vehement anti-Semitism seethes beneath her tattoo-branded exterior. Renowned for The Shadows-his great early success, a novel based on his grandparents' experiences in Germany during the Holocaust-Joshua Seigl confuses his friends and sparks the anger of his hypomanic sister, Jet, when despite their objections he refuses to fire the young woman. A full portrait of the amiable, disillusioned Seigl emerges as he translates Virgil's The Aeneid, makes excuses for his failing health (he has recently been diagnosed with a debilitating nerve disease) and interacts erratically with his concerned friend, Sondra. Meanwhile, the mentally hollowed-out Tattooed Girl comes to seem a more realistic victim of persecution than any character in Seigl's historical fiction.

Palmer, J. - High Performance Affiliate Marketing


Palmer, J. - High Performance Affiliate Marketing Summary:
Publisher: Quit Your Day Job, LLC | 2006 | ISBN: N/A | English | True PDF | 150 pages | 1.24 Mb

“ “High Performance Affiliate Marketing” is an e-book that was written by Internet marketer and super affiliate Jeremy Palmer in 2006. The product was his first home study course on the topic of creating an affiliate marketing business from scratch. “High Performance Affiliate Marketing” has been used by many people as a blueprint for their affiliate success and credit Jeremy Palmer for getting them started on the right path. ”
If one thing is for sure, it is that affiliate marketing can be a very confusing business for those who are new to it. Seemingly, the answer to getting rich online are everywhere but unfortunately as anyone with some experience knows, this is simply not the case. In his e-book, Jeremy Palmer seeks to debunk many of the common myths about making money online while at the same time giving one a realistic blueprint for creating a viable online business. If you're struggling right now in your affiliate marketing business, then after reading a short review you may want to consider adding “High Performance Affiliate Marketing” to your educational resources. What is “High Performance Affiliate Marketing”? In 2006, Jeremy Palmer decided that he wanted to give back to affiliate marketing which had just made him a millionaire in the prior year. He felt as though he wanted to create a product that was very different from the typical “make money online” e-book. Much of what he saw in the market related to “getting rich quick” but Jeremy knew from his own experience and from talking to other super affiliates that the road to success online was not much different than it is in the real world. Few people strike it rich overnight but with patience, perseverance and determination anyone can create a sustainable online business that will enable them to live the lifestyle they desire. “High Performance Affiliate Marketing” is ideal for beginners since it lays out a comprehensive plan for starting and growing a profitable affiliate marketing business. The course itself is outlined in the following manner: * Affiliate Marketing 101 –Preparing for Success
* Finding Profitable Affiliate Opportunities
* Keywords - The Foundation of Your Success
* Build a Website That Sells
* Search Engine Optimization – Climbing Your Way to the Top
* Paid Search Marketing Should I use “High Performance Affiliate Marketing”? For anyone who is brand-new to affiliate marketing, picking up a copy of “High Performance Affiliate Marketing” is probably a very good idea. Jeremy Palmer is one of the most well-known and successful super affiliates and so following his blueprint for success makes sense. That said most affiliates find that after they learn the basics they are able to add their own unique ideas to the next and enhance the basic lessons that Jeremy teaches. In closing, “High Performance Affiliate Marketing” has stood the test of time even though some of the more technical aspects of it may be outdated. Even though that may be the case, since the overall theme of the book is on the topic of growing a successful business it is still a worthwhile read.
Jeremy Palmer is super affiliate based in Utah, USA. He is the recipient of the 2005 Commission Junction Award for Innovation. Jeremy began working in affiliate marketing part-time in 2003 and only after 6 months he quit his day job and began working full-time as an affiliate.

Craniofacial Biology and Craniofacial Surgery


Craniofacial Biology and Craniofacial Surgery Summary:
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company | ISBN 10: 9812839283 | 2010 | PDF | 624 pages | 9.8 MB

This book is unique. It deals primarily with and brings together a wide-ranging group of essays spanning more than half a century's worth of research done by Bernard G Sarnat. Much of this historical review remains significant and germane today. Some material antedates the emergence of the specialties of craniofacial biology, craniofacial surgery, and bone biology, while many of the reports preceded the period of molecular biology. This book thus represents a fundamental pioneering contribution to a representative portion of the specialties. Building on past data reported by Sarnat, James P Bradley contributes significantly to the present by including recent works which cover issues dealing with stem cell, tissue regeneration and tissue engineering research. In addition, appropriately selected clinical work is included - a result of the further development and maturity of the specialties. And what does the future hold? No doubt unpredictable gigantic advances. The purpose of this selective, organized, and limited review, analysis, and summary of personally conducted experiments is to relate certain aspects of differential growth and change and nonchange to age, sites, rates, factors, and mechanisms. In many instances, correlations are made between research findings and clinical practice, and this retrospective study brings all of them together.
