Both pattern recognition and computer vision have experienced rapid progress in the last twenty-five years. This book provides the latest advances on pattern recognition and computer vision along with their many applications. It features articles written by renowned leaders in the field while topics are presented in readable form to a wide range of readers. The book is divided into five parts: basic methods in pattern recognition, basic methods in computer vision and image processing, recognition applications, life science and human identification, and systems and technology. There are eight new chapters on the latest developments in life sciences using pattern recognition as well as two new chapters on pattern recognition in remote sensing.
In the age of e-society, handwritten signature processing is an enabling technology in a multitude of fields in the “digital agenda” of many countries, ranging from e-health to e-commerce, from e-government to e-justice, from e-democracy to e-banking, and smart cities. Handwritten signatures are very complex signs; they are the result of an elaborate process that depends on the psychophysical state of the signer and the conditions under which the signature apposition process occurs. Notwithstanding, recent efforts from academies and industries now make possible the integration of signature-based technologies into other standard equipment to form complete solutions that are able to suppor...
The six-volume set comprising the LNCS volumes 11129-11134 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the workshops that took place in conjunction with the 15th European Conference on Computer Vision, ECCV 2018, held in Munich, Germany, in September 2018.43 workshops from 74 workshops proposals were selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The workshop topics present a good orchestration of new trends and traditional issues, built bridges into neighboring fields, and discuss fundamental technologies and novel applications.
The compendium presents the latest results of the most prominent competitions held in the field of Document Analysis and Text Recognition. It includes a description of the participating systems and the underlying methods on one hand and the datasets used together with evaluation metrics on the other hand. This volume also demonstrates with examples, how to organize a competition and how to make it successful. It will be an indispensable handbook to the document image analysis community.
Dear delegates,friendsand membersofthe growingKES professionalcommunity,w- come to the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Knowledge-Based and IntelligentInformationandEngineeringSystemshostedbyLa TrobeUniversityin M- bourne Australia. The KES conference series has been established for almost a decade, and it cont- ues each year to attract participants from all geographical areas of the world, including Europe, the Americas, Australasia and the Paci?c Rim. The KES conferences cover a wide range of intelligent systems topics. The broad focus of the conference series is the theory and applications of intelligent systems. From a pure research ?eld, intel- gent systems have advanc...
This handbook is an authoritative, comprehensive reference on Internet of Things, written for practitioners, researchers, and students around the world. This book provides a definitive single point of reference material for all those interested to find out information about the basic technologies and approaches that are used to design and deploy IoT applications across a vast variety of different application fields spanning from smart buildings, smart cities, smart factories, smart farming, building automation, connected vehicles, and machine to machine communication. The book is divided into ten parts, each edited by top experts in the field. The parts include: IoT Basics, IoT Hardware and Components, Architecture and Reference Models, IoT Networks, Standards Overview, IoT Security and Privacy, From Data to Knowledge and Intelligence, Application Domains, Testbeds and Deployment, and End-User Engagement. The contributors are leading authorities in the fields of engineering and represent academia, industry, and international government and regulatory agencies.
Writer identification and verification have gained interest, especially in the fields of forensic document examination and biometrics. This book develops two systems to address the tasks of writer identification and verification. It defines different confidence measures to assess the quality of the recognition.
In recent years, libraries and archives all around the world have increased their efforts to digitize historical manuscripts. To integrate the manuscripts into digital libraries, pattern recognition and machine learning methods are needed to extract and index the contents of the scanned images.The unique compendium describes the outcome of the HisDoc research project, a pioneering attempt to study the whole processing chain of layout analysis, handwriting recognition, and retrieval of historical manuscripts. This description is complemented with an overview of other related research projects, in order to convey the current state of the art in the field and outline future trends.This must-have volume is a relevant reference work for librarians, archivists and computer scientists.
