Algebraic Systems and Computational Complexity Theory (Hardcover): Z. Wang, Etc, S. Xu, T. Gao Algebraic Systems and Computational Complexity Theory (Hardcover)
Z. Wang, Etc, S. Xu, T. Gao
R2,873 Discovery Miles 28 730 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Significant progress has been made during the last 15 years in the solution of nonlinear systems, particularly in computing fixed points, solving systems of nonlinear equations and applications to equilibrium models. This volume presents a self-contained account of recent work on simplicial and continuation methods applied to the solution of algebraic equations. The contents are divided into eight chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 deal with Kuhn's algorithm. Chapter 3 considers Newton's method, and a comparison between Kuhn's algorithm and Newton's method is presented in Chapter 4. The following four chapters discuss respectively, incremental algorithms and their cost theory, homotopy algorithms, zeros of polynomial mapping, and piecewise linear algorithms. This text is designed for use by researchers and graduates interested in algebraic equations and computational complexity theory.

Integrated Region-Based Image Retrieval (Hardcover, 2001 ed.): James Z Wang Integrated Region-Based Image Retrieval (Hardcover, 2001 ed.)
James Z Wang
R2,981 Discovery Miles 29 810 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The need for efficient content-based image retrieval has increased tremendously in areas such as biomedicine, military, commerce, education, and Web image classification and searching. In the biomedical domain, content-based image retrieval can be used in patient digital libraries, clinical diagnosis, searching of 2-D electrophoresis gels, and pathology slides. Integrated Region-Based Image Retrieval presents a wavelet-based approach for feature extraction, combined with integrated region matching. An image in the database, or a portion of an image, is represented by a set of regions, roughly corresponding to objects, which are characterized by color, texture, shape, and location. A measure for the overall similarity between images is developed as a region-matching scheme that integrates properties of all the regions in the images. The advantage of using this "soft matching" is that it makes the metric robust to poor segmentation, an important property that previous research has not solved. Integrated Region-Based Image Retrieval demonstrates an experimental image retrieval system called SIMPLIcity (Semantics-sensitive Integrated Matching for Picture LIbraries). This system validates these methods on various image databases, proving that such methods perform much better and much faster than existing ones. The system is exceptionally robust to image alterations such as intensity variation, sharpness variation, intentional distortions, cropping, shifting, and rotation. These features are extremely important to biomedical image databases since visual features in the query image are not exactly the same as the visual features in the images in the database. Integrated Region-Based ImageRetrieval is an excellent reference for researchers in the fields of image retrieval, multimedia, computer vision and image processing.

Machine Learning and Statistical Modeling Approaches to Image Retrieval (Hardcover, 2004 ed.): Yixin Chen, Jia Li, James Z Wang Machine Learning and Statistical Modeling Approaches to Image Retrieval (Hardcover, 2004 ed.)
Yixin Chen, Jia Li, James Z Wang
R2,987 Discovery Miles 29 870 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In the early 1990s, the establishment of the Internet brought forth a revolutionary viewpoint of information storage, distribution, and processing: the World Wide Web is becoming an enormous and expanding distributed digital library. Along with the development of the Web, image indexing and retrieval have grown into research areas sharing a vision of intelligent agents. Far beyond Web searching, image indexing and retrieval can potentially be applied to many other areas, including biomedicine, space science, biometric identification, digital libraries, the military, education, commerce, culture and entertainment.
Machine Learning and Statistical Modeling Approaches to Image Retrieval describes several approaches of integrating machine learning and statistical modeling into an image retrieval and indexing system that demonstrates promising results. The topics of this book reflect authors' experiences of machine learning and statistical modeling based image indexing and retrieval. This book contains detailed references for further reading and research in this field as well.

Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery for Process Monitoring and Control (Hardcover, 1999 ed.): Xue Z. Wang Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery for Process Monitoring and Control (Hardcover, 1999 ed.)
Xue Z. Wang
R3,030 Discovery Miles 30 300 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Modern computer-based control systems are able to collect a large amount of information, display it to operators and store it in databases but the interpretation of the data and the subsequent decision making relies mainly on operators with little computer support. This book introduces developments in automatic analysis and interpretation of process-operational data both in real-time and over the operational history, and describes new concepts and methodologies for developing intelligent, state space-based systems for process monitoring, control and diagnosis. The book brings together new methods and algorithms from process monitoring and control, data mining and knowledge discovery, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and causal relationship discovery, as well as signal processing. It also provides a framework for integrating plant operators and supervisors into the design of process monitoring and control systems.

Eric T. Bell O.Heaviside Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and nonlinearities abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of mathematics serve as tools for other parts and for other sciences. Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above one finds such statements as: 'One service topology has rendered mathematical physics ...

And all statements obtainable this way form part of the raison d'etre of this series.
