The book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International
Workshop on Algebraic Frames for the Perception-Action Cycle, AFPAC
'97, held in Kiel, Germany, in September 1997.
The volume presents 12 revised full papers carefully reviewed and
selected for inclusion in the book. Also included are 10 full
invited papers by leading researchers in the area providing a
representative state-of-the-art assessment of this rapidly growing
field. The papers are organized in topical sections on PAC systems,
low level and early vision, recognition of visual structure,
processing of 3D visual space, representation and shape perception,
inference and action, and visual and motor neurocomputation.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First
International Conference on Scale-Space Theory for Computer Vision,
Scale-Space '97, held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, in July
1997.
The volume presents 21 revised full papers selected from a total of
41 submissions. Also included are 2 invited papers and 13 poster
presentations. This book is the first comprehensive documentation
of the application of Scale-Space techniques in computer vision
and, in the broader context, in image processing and pattern
recognition.
A comprehensive introduction to colorimetry from a conceptual
perspective. Color for the Sciences is the first book on
colorimetry to offer an account that emphasizes conceptual and
formal issues rather than applications. Jan Koenderink's
introductory text treats colorimetry-literally, "color
measurement"-as a science, freeing the topic from the usual
fixation on conventional praxis and how to get the "right" result.
Readers of Color for the Sciences will learn to rethink concepts
from the roots in order to reach a broader, conceptual
understanding. After a brief account of the history of the
discipline (beginning with Isaac Newton) and a chapter titled
"Colorimetry for Dummies," the heart of the book covers the main
topics in colorimetry, including the space of beams, achromatic
beams, edge colors, optimum colors, color atlases, and spectra.
Other chapters cover more specialized topics, including
implementations, metrics pioneered by Schroedinger and Helmholtz,
and extended color space. Color for the Sciences can be used as a
reference for professionals or in a formal introductory course on
colorimetry. It will be especially useful both for those working
with color in a scientific or engineering context who find the
standard texts lacking and for professionals and students in image
engineering, computer graphics, and computer science. Each chapter
ends with exercises, many of which are open-ended, suggesting ways
to explore the topic further, and can be developed into research
projects. The text and notes contain numerous suggestions for
demonstration experiments and individual explorations. The book is
self-contained, with formal methods explained in appendixes when
necessary.
This book presents an analysis of limits in perception from the
vantage point of the physicist, the engineer, the psychophysicist,
the psychologist and the theorist. Limits in perception find their
causal explanation at many logically and/or physically different
levels. Some of the most fundamental bottlenecks are due to the
quantum mechanical and atomistic structure of the microworld. Other
simple constraints are due to the material constitution of sensory
organs. For instance, the fact that the eye is predominantly
composed of water limits both the optical quality and the available
spectral window. The engineer uses knowledge on such limits to
design equipment that optimizes human performance in daily life.
Examples include room acoustics and visual displays.
Psychophysicists and psychologists deal with limits on a quite
different logical level. These limits constrain much of our
perceptually guided behaviour. The book includes chapters on such
topics as movement perception, binocular vision, illusory
phenomena, language and perception, the perception of time. A few
concluding chapters on fundamental limits imposed by information
theoretical constraints on the coding and representation of sensed
structure are included. Limits in Perception will be important
reading material for scientists and/or engineers in the following
fields: perception, experimental psychology, sensory biology,
physics, neuroscience, human engineering, artificial intelligence,
robotics, ophthalmology, audiology, psychonomics and ergonomics,
remote sensing.
