It takes a big step toward practical facial beauty analysis, proposes more reliable and stable facial features for beauty analysis and designs new models, methods, algorithms and schemes while implementing a facial beauty analysis and beautification system.
This book presents practical optimization techniques used in image processing and computer vision problems.
This book presents a selection of chapters, written by leading international researchers, related to the automatic analysis of gestures from still images and multi-modal RGB-Depth image sequences.
For instance, changes in the image due to a moving light source are used in “photometric stereo,” changes in the image due to changes in the position of the cameras are used in “stereo,” “structure from motion,” and “motion blur.
This book provides a timely and unique survey of next-generation social computational methodologies. discusses the prediction and recognition of human attributes via social media analytics, including social relationships, facial age and beauty, and occupation.

This book aims at the theory of spatial similarity relations and its application in automated map generalization, including the definitions, classification and features of spatial similarity relations.
Examples abound throughout remote sensing (satellite data mapping, data assimilation, climate-change studies, land use), medical imaging (organ... Læs mere
Laser Refractography explores the theoretical basis of refractography, and describes experimental setups for the measurement of transparent media. Specific examples are discussed, including the visualization of the boundary layer near a hot or cold metallic ball in water.
Quad Rotorcraft Control develops original control methods for the navigation and hovering flight of an autonomous mini-quad-rotor robotic helicopter.
Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) is a combination of computer graphics and computer vision that produces renderings in various artistic, expressive or stylized ways such as painting and drawing.
Based on the seminar that took place in Dagstuhl, Germany in June 2011, this contributed volume studies the four important topics within the scientific visualization field: uncertainty visualization, multifield visualization, biomedical visualization and scalable visualization.
