Upon publication almost 15 years ago, the first edition almost instantly became a trusted
reference, setting the stage for the coming decade, in which the explosion in research and …

Miniaturization of components has enabled systems that are wearable and nearly invisible,
so that individuals can move about and interact freely, supported by their personal …

Data compression is one of the main contributing factors in the explosive growth in
information technology. Without it, a number of consumer and commercial products, such as …

An image acquired by a camera consists of measured intensity values which are related to
scene radiance by a function called the camera response function. Knowledge of this …

We present in this paper a review of methods for segmentation of uncompressed video
sequences. Video segmentation is usually performed in the temporal domain by shot …

Access to multimedia data has become much easier due to the rapid growth of the Internet.
While this is usually considered an improvement of everyday life, it also makes unauthorized …

We present a new approach for improving the effective dynamic range of cameras by using
multiple photographs of the same scene taken with different exposure times. Using this …

Preface to Second Edition From the time that the original edition was published in 1985,
multidimensional systems theory has matured into a discipline of research and teaching with …

An algorithm based on spatial tessellation and approximation of each triangle patch in the
Delaunay (1934) triangulation (with smoothness constraints) by a bivariate polynomial is …

This paper describes a novel technique to recover large similarity transformations
(rotation/scale/translation) and moderate perspective deformations among image pairs. We …
