Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Nonlinear signal and image processing methods are fast emerging as an alternative to established linear methods for meeting the challenges of increasingly sophisticated applications. Advances in computing performance and nonlinear theory are making nonlinear techniques not only viable, but practical.This book details recent advances in nonlinear theory and methods and explores an array of modern signal and image processing applications. The first several chapters focus on nonlinear signal processing theory, targeting three critical areas: filter analysis, nonlinear filter class design, and signal analysis. The remaining chapters explore nonlinear approaches across the broad spectrum of applications with signal processing components, from data traffic modeling and image enhancement to cutting edge applications in genomics. All of the chapters were contributed by well-known theorists and application-driven researchers who explore current and emerging nonlinear methods from their theoretical background and practical algorithms through the potential of these methods for solving important open questions. Nonlinear Signal and Image Processing: Theory, Methods, and Applications thus provides a singular opportunity to build a strong, fundamental understanding of nonlinear theory and methods and a foundation upon which to approach many of today's most interesting and challenging signal processing problems.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A multimedia system needs a mechanism to communicate with its environment, the Internet, clients, and applications. MPEG-7 provides a standard metadata format for global communication, but lacks the framework to let the various players in a system interact. MPEG-21 closes this gap by establishing an infrastructure for a distributed multimedia framework, allowing for the creation, modification, viewing, and communication of digital items among all participants within an MPEG-21 agreement. Now you have a guide that examines the structure and potential usage of these emerging standards. Distributed Multimedia Database Technologies Supported by MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 describesthe technologies, concepts, and tools of distributed, content-based multimedia systems. It focuses on the practical uses of the technologies of MPEG and SQL/MM in these components, and on the interoperability among them (for data exchange, transactions, interaction, etc.). This book demonstrates an open distributed multimedia framework that enables these components to cooperate in a working environment, delivering rich multimedia access in an increasingly mobile world. About the Author Harald Kosch is an associate professor at the University of Klagenfurt. His domains of interest are distributed multimedia systems, multimedia databases, middleware, and Internet applications. He started research at the École Normale Supèrieure in 1993 during postgraduate study and entered the Ph.D. program in 1994, obtaining his Ph.D. degree in June 1997. He actively participates in the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-7 and MPEG-21 standardization and is involved in several international research projects in the domain of distributed multimedia systems.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The use of composite materials in engineering structures continues to increase dramatically, and there have been equally significant advances in modeling for general and composite materials and structures in particular. To reflect these developments, renowned author, educator, and researcher J.N. Reddy created an enhanced second edition of his standard-setting Mechanics of Laminated Composite Plates and Shells: Theory and Analysis.This edition includes: A chapter dedicated to the theory and analysis of laminated shells Discussions addressing smart structures and functionally graded materials Reorganization of chapters that improves and clarifies presentation Additional exercises and examples A timelessly valuable resource, this book approaches the subject primarily in terms of the finite element method. It provides incomparably full, self-contained coverage of the theories, analytical solutions, and linear and nonlinear finite element models of plate and shell laminated composite structures. 856 pp. Englisch.…
