This volume deals with recursive pyramids, which combine the  advantages of available multiresolution structures and which are  convenient both for global and local image processing. Recursive  pyramids are based on regular hierarchical (recursive) structures  containing data on image fragments of different sizes. Such an image  representation technique enables the effective manipulation of  pictorial information as well as the development of special hardware  or data structures. The major aspects of this book are two original  mathematical models of greyscale and binary images represented by  recursive structures. Image compression, transmission and processing  are discussed using these models. A number of applications are  presented, including optical character recognition, expert systems and  special computer architecture for pictorial data processing. The  majority of results are presented as algorithms applicable to discrete  information fields of arbitrary dimensions (e.g. 2-D or 3-D  images).\u003cbr\u003e  The book is divided into six chapters: Chapter 1 provides a brief  introduction. Chapter 2 then deals with recursive structures and their  properties. Chapter 3 introduces pyramidal image models. Image coding  and the progressive transmission of images with gradual refinement are  discussed in Chapter 4. Chapters 5 and 6 are devoted to image  processing with pyramidal-recursive structures and applications. The  volume concludes with a comprehensive bibliography.\u003cbr\u003e  For applied mathematicians and computer scientists whose work involves  computer vision, information theory and other aspects of image  representation techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401047661\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1747-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 195\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398485602444,"sku":"9789401047661","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401047661.jpg?v=1775679710","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401047661","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
