Review Handbook of Video Databases: Design and Applications / CRC:

Technology has spurred the growth of huge image and video libraries, many growing into the hundreds of terabytes. As a result there is a great demand among organizations for the design of databases that can effectively support the storage, search, retrieval, and transmission of video data. Engineers and researchers in the field demand a comprehensive reference that will help them design and implement the most complex video database projects. Handbook of Video Databases: Design and Applications presents a thorough overview in 45 chapters from more than 100 renowned experts in the field. This book provides the tools to help overcome the problems of storage, cataloging, and retrieval, by exploring content standardization and other content classification and analysis methods. The challenge of these complex problems make this book a must-have for video database practitioners in the fields of image and video processing, computer vision, multimedia systems, data mining, and many other diverse disciplines.

Review Geometric Constraints for Object Detection and Delineation (Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) / Springer:

The ability to extract generic 3D objects from images is a crucial step towards automation of a variety of problems in cartographic database compilation, industrial inspection and assembly, and autonomous navigation. Many of these problem domains do not have strong constraints on object shape or scene content, presenting serious obstacles for the development of robust object detection and delineation techniques. Geometric Constraints for Object Detection and Delineation addresses these problems with a suite of novel methods and techniques for detecting and delineating generic objects in images of complex scenes, and applies them to the specific task of building detection and delineation from monocular aerial imagery. PIVOT, the fully automated system implementing these techniques, is quantitatively evaluated on 83 images covering 18 test scenes, and compared to three existing systems for building extraction. The results highlight the performance improvements possible with rigorous photogrammetric camera modeling, primitive-based object representations, and geometric constraints derived from their combination. PIVOT's performance illustrates the implications of a clearly articulated set of philosophical principles, taking a significant step towards automatic detection and delineation of 3D objects in real-world environments. Geometric Constraints for Object Detection and Delineation is suitable as a textbook or as a secondary text for a graduate-level course, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

Review Recovery in Parallel Database Systems (Datenbase Systems) / Academic Pr:

The relational DBMS technology is a success in the commercial market. This success has led to the use of DBMS technology in application environments requesting their traditional virtues but at the same time adding new requirements such as: Very high transaction rates, real-time transaction response, and continuous availability. New multi-processor hardware architectures lay the foundation making it possible to meet these requirements. This book presents and analysis in a systematic way the main recovery approaches for centralized DBMSs developed over the last two decades, in particular to how well they fulfill the requirements for availability and soft real-time response. The analysis relates specifically to approaches used in current commercial and research systems. The element in particular lacking in the current methods is the ability to on-line re-establish the fault tolerance level automatically and without blocking. A set of novel recovery methods for parallel DBM's based on multi-computer shared nothing hardware is presented. The recovery methods are intended to support: Continuously available transaction services, very high transaction loads, and soft real-time transaction response.

Review Classification and Clustering for Knowledge Discovery (Studies in Computational Intelligence) / Springer:

Knowledge Discovery today is a significant study and research area. In finding answers to many research questions in this area, the ultimate hope is that knowledge can be extracted from various forms of data around us. This book covers recent advances in unsupervised and supervised data analysis methods in Computational Intelligence for knowledge discovery. In its first part the book provides a collection of recent research on distributed clustering, self organizing maps and their recent extensions. If labeled data or data with known associations are available, we may be able to use supervised data analysis methods, such as classifying neural networks, fuzzy rule-based classifiers, and decision trees. Therefore this book presents a collection of important methods of supervised data analysis. "Classification and Clustering for Knowledge Discovery" also includes variety of applications of knowledge discovery in health, safety, commerce, mechatronics, sensor networks, and telecommunications.

Review Advances in Spatial Databases: 2nd Symposium, Ssd '91 Zurich, Switzerland, August 28-30, 1991 Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) / Springer:

Spatial database management has become an important subarea of current database research. Research in this area is often characterized by interdisciplinary cooperation: computer scientists work with geographers and environmental scientists to provide better access to spatial databases of steadily increasing size. After the First Symposium on Large Spatial Databases (SSD '89) was held in Santa Barbara, California, in 1989 (and its proceedings published as Volume 409 of this series), a second symposium (SSD'91) was held in Zurich, Switzerland. This proceedings volume contains the papers presented at SSD '91. Topics include spatial data models and access methods, performance studies, geometric algorithms, spatial query languages and user interfaces, geographic information systems, and object-oriented techniques.
