Towards the Next Generation of 3D Reconstruction
Humans perceive our visual surroundings through the projection of light rays through our pupils and onto the retina. Aided by motion, we gain an understanding of our environment, as well as our location within it. The goal of image-based 3D reconstruction is to imbue machines with similar capabilities. The most prominent paradigm for image-based 3D reconstruction is called Structure-from-Motion (SfM). Traditionally, SfM has been approached through handcrafted algorithms, which are brittle when assumptions do not hold. Humans, on the other hand, understand their environment intuitively and show remarkable robustness in their ability to localize themselves in, and map the world. The main purpo...
Computer Vision – ECCV 2020
The 30-volume set, comprising the LNCS books 12346 until 12375, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th European Conference on Computer Vision, ECCV 2020, which was planned to be held in Glasgow, UK, during August 23-28, 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 1360 revised papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 5025 submissions. The papers deal with topics such as computer vision; machine learning; deep neural networks; reinforcement learning; object recognition; image classification; image processing; object detection; semantic segmentation; human pose estimation; 3d reconstruction; stereo vision; computational photography; neural networks; image coding; image reconstruction; object recognition; motion estimation.
Advanced Topics in Computer Vision
This book presents a broad selection of cutting-edge research, covering both theoretical and practical aspects of reconstruction, registration, and recognition. The text provides an overview of challenging areas and descriptions of novel algorithms. Features: investigates visual features, trajectory features, and stereo matching; reviews the main challenges of semi-supervised object recognition, and a novel method for human action categorization; presents a framework for the visual localization of MAVs, and for the use of moment constraints in convex shape optimization; examines solutions to the co-recognition problem, and distance-based classifiers for large-scale image classification; describes how the four-color theorem can be used for solving MRF problems; introduces a Bayesian generative model for understanding indoor environments, and a boosting approach for generalizing the k-NN rule; discusses the issue of scene-specific object detection, and an approach for making temporal super resolution video.
Computer Vision – ECCV 2016
The eight-volume set comprising LNCS volumes 9905-9912 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th European Conference on Computer Vision, ECCV 2016, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in October 2016. The 415 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 1480 submissions. The papers cover all aspects of computer vision and pattern recognition such as 3D computer vision; computational photography, sensing and display; face and gesture; low-level vision and image processing; motion and tracking; optimization methods; physics-based vision, photometry and shape-from-X; recognition: detection, categorization, indexing, matching; segmentation, grouping and shape representation; statistical methods and learning; video: events, activities and surveillance; applications. They are organized in topical sections on detection, recognition and retrieval; scene understanding; optimization; image and video processing; learning; action, activity and tracking; 3D; and 9 poster sessions.
A History of Korea

A History of Korea
A History of Korea is a translation of Professor Hatada Takashi's Chosenshi, undoubtedly the best known survey history of Korea ever written. For almost two decades this work, which surveys developments on the Korean peninsula from the prehistoric period to the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, has been standard reading for students of Korean history throughout the world. The translators remark that they were attracted to Hatada's work by ". . . the skill with which the author revealed the interrelationship between political history and social and economic development" (p. vi). The focus of Hatada's work on selected aspects of Korean socio-economic history, an area in which he has made maj...
Pre-modern East Asia: to 1800
Designed for the East Asian history course, this text features the latest scholarship on the region and offers a range of cultural, political, economic, and intellectual history. Coverage is balanced among East Asian regions, with approximately 20 percent of the text focused on Korea, an area that has become increasingly important in East Asian courses and in world politics. Special attention is devoted to coverage of gender and material culture-topics that are reinforced through the text's pedagogical features. Color inserts illustrate the rich artistic heritage of East Asia and bolster the coverage of material culture. Connections sections appear throughout the text and provide an international context for the history of East Asia. Some of the topics covered include Buddhism, the Mongols, Imperialism, and World War II. Each chapter includes primary source features that document, among other topics, culture or the arts. Biographical sketches highlight the lives of major figures in East Asian history.
