DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith the swift development of video imaging technology and the drastic improvements in CPU speed and memory, both video processing and computational video are becoming more and more popular. Similar to the digital revolution in photography of fifteen years ago, today digital methods are revolutionizing the way television and movies are being made. With the advent of professional digital movie cameras, digital projector technology for movie theaters, and 3D movies, the movie and television production pipeline is turning all-digital, opening up numerous new opportunities for the way dynamic scenes are acquired, video footage can be edited, and visual media may be experienced. This state-of-the-art survey provides a compilation of selected articles resulting from a workshop on Video Processing and Computational Video, held at Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in October 2010. The seminar brought together junior and senior researchers from computer vision, computer graphics, and image communication, both from academia and industry, to address the challenges in computational video. During this workshop, 43 researchers from all over the world discussed the state of the art, contemporary challenges, and future research in imaging, processing, analyzing, modeling, and rendering of real-world, dynamic scenes. The 8 thoroughly revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 30 lectures given at the seminar. The articles give a good overview of the field of computational video and video processing with a special focus on computational photography, video-based rendering, and 3D video.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConstruction researchers and industry practitioners have begun to explore the possibilities offered by mobile and pervasive computing in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC). It is expected that the construction industry will be keen to apply these technologies as they promise significant benefits in areas such as materials management, project management, distributed collaboration and information management, all leading to improvements in productivity. This book offers a comprehensive reference volume to the use of mobile and pervasive computing in construction. Based on contributions from a mix of leading researchers and experts from academia and industry, it provides up-to-date insights into current research topics in this field as well as the latest technological advancements and practical examples. The chapters introduce the key theoretical concepts in mobile and pervasive computing and highlight the applications and solutions which are available to the construction industry. More specifically, the book focuses on the manner in which these technologies can be applied to improve practices in construction and related industries. This book will be of particular interest to academics, researchers, and graduate students at universities and industrial practitioners seeking to apply mobile and pervasive computing systems to improve construction industry productivity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book has two main goals: to provide a unifed and structured overview of this growing field, as well as to propose a corresponding software framework, the OpenTL library, developed by the author and his working group at TUM-Informatik. The main objective of this work is to show, how most real-world application scenarios can be naturally cast into a common description vocabulary, and therefore implemented and tested in a fully modular and scalable way, through the defnition of a layered, object-oriented software architecture.The resulting architecture covers in a seamless way all processing levels, from raw data acquisition up to model-based object detection and sequential localization, and defines, at the application level, what we call the tracking pipeline. Within this framework, extensive use of graphics hardware (GPU computing) as well as distributed processing, allows real-time performances for complex models and sensory systems.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is the outcome of the Dagstuhl Seminar 13201 on Information Visualization - Towards Multivariate Network Visualization, held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany in May 2013. The goal of this Dagstuhl Seminar was to bring together theoreticians and practitioners from Information Visualization, HCI and Graph Drawing with a special focus on multivariate network visualization, i.e., on graphs where the nodes and/or edges have additional (multidimensional) attributes. The integration of multivariate data into complex networks and their visual analysis is one of the big challenges not only in visualization, but also in many application areas. Thus, in order to support discussions related to the visualization of real world data, also invited researchers from selected application areas, especially bioinformatics, social sciences and software engineering. The unique "Dagstuhl climate" ensured an open and undisturbed atmosphere to discuss the state-of-the-art, new directions and open challenges of multivariate network visualization.
