Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces an innovative method to transform 3D information into a format compatible with numerical computation. The author provides an algorithm for converting volumetric surface data (like a 3D scan) into a triangulated surface model (polygonal mesh), enabling complex 3D objects to be represented as 3D models far more efficiently. This breakthrough method is meticulously explained, from theoretical foundations to implementation details, and is illustrated by the author's impressive triangulation of the intricate posterior half of a monkey brain (neo-cortex). This method unlocks a new realm of possibilities for researchers and practitioners in computer graphics, computational neuroscience, engineering, and biomedical fields.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively explores the mathematical theory and practical applications of conformal image warping, a technique used to deform and map images in a way that preserves angles and shapes. The author provides a thorough introduction to conformal mappings, their history, and the key concepts behind their use in image processing. The book also includes detailed explanations of various conformal mapping methods, such as the Riemann mapping theorem and numerical techniques like the Symm algorithm, which are essential for understanding the practical implementation of conformal warping. Additionally, the author delves into the applications of conformal image warping in computer graphics, particularly in the mapping of textures onto complex surfaces, and in visual cortex modeling, where it is used to represent the mapping of the retina onto the brain's visual cortex. Through this exploration, the book showcases the significance of conformal image warping in various fields and its potential for further advancements in image processing and computer graphics.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the potential of space variant sensors in machine and robotic vision, inspired by the strongly space variant nature of the human visual system. The author, an expert in computational neuroscience, utilizes a complex logarithmic mapping function to accurately model the human visual representation and provides realistic estimates of the nature of such a unique imaging system. The author delves into three primary algorithms related to the blending of a single scene from multiple frames: fusing space variant contour-based scenes with different fixation points into a single multi-scan view; an attentional algorithm that recursively examines the current knowledge of the scene to optimally choose the next fixation point based on focusing attention in regions of maximum boundary curvature; and a simple metric for evaluating convergence over scan path. Through detailed analysis and illustrative examples, this book sheds light on essential concepts such as image data compression, visual attention, and convergence, highlighting the potential of space variant imaging systems in both machine and biological vision.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses a fundamental challenge in mapmaking: accurately representing curved surfaces in a flat format. While traditional mapmaking focuses on the relatively simple spherical surface of the Earth, the author tackles the much more complex problem of mapping convoluted, non-convex surfaces, such as the human brain. This is no mere academic exercise; it has direct implications for various fields, including computer-aided neuroanatomy, where visualizing the intricate neural maps of the brain is crucial for understanding its functionality. The author introduces a novel numerical solution to this "generalized map-makers problem," which involves optimizing the distances between points on a curved surface and their corresponding points on a flat representation. This is achieved through a variational algorithm that minimizes the "stress" or deviation between the original distance matrix and the flattened representation. This innovative approach offers a practical solution for mapping complex surfaces in a way that preserves the essential metric relationships. The book delves into the technical details of the algorithm, including its implementation and challenges. The author explores the limitations of using only short-range distances for mapping and demonstrates the effectiveness of incorporating longer-range distances. Furthermore, the book presents examples of the algorithm's successful application to mapping the surface of the visual cortex, a particularly complex example. The book's insights contribute significantly to the understanding of how to represent complex three-dimensional surfaces in a flat, two-dimensional format, with practical implications for diverse disciplines, such as computer science and neuroanatomy.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intricacies of calculating minimal distances on arbitrary polyhedral surfaces, employing detailed mathematical explanations and practical applications. Exploring this topic within the context of computational geometry, the author presents an innovative algorithm for finding all minimal distances within polyhedral structures. The book's strength lies in its exploration of how this algorithm can simplify the flattening of complex three-dimensional surfaces. It demonstrates how calculating distances can enable the unfolding and flattening of intricate objects, including surfaces found in nature or designed in engineering. The author provides a thorough examination of the algorithm's complexity and potential limitations, offering insights into the challenges and considerations involved in distance calculations on polyhedral surfaces. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in computational geometry, computer graphics, and related fields, offering both theoretical foundations and practical applications for understanding and manipulating complex three-dimensional structures. Its detailed explanations and illustrative examples make it accessible to a wide range of readers, from students to experienced professionals.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of three-dimensional surface tracking algorithms, specifically their use in "brain peeling," a method for viewing the inside of a solid shell by generating successive layers. The author, an expert in computational neuroscience, begins by outlining the problem domain and providing a brief history of the field. The book then delves into the technical details of the algorithm, explaining how it can be used to convert voxel representations into polyhedral representations without human interaction. The author concludes by discussing the significance of this work for the study of the functional architecture of the brain, particularly the visual cortex.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a novel algorithm for object segmentation in stereo vision, designed by the author to mirror principles of the human visual cortex. The algorithm analyzes a pair of stereo images through a windowed cepstral filter operating on a columnar image architecture inspired by ocular dominance columns. The result is a one-step measurement of disparity, and is resistant to disturbances including blur, size differences, and intensity changes. By explaining and discussing the algorithm in relation to the limitations and advantages of human stereo vision, the author presents a computational solution to a problem which has been elusive in the field of computer vision. Furthermore, the author suggests that the algorithm provides a rationale for the existence of columnar systems in the human brain, both with regard to ocular mixing, and to other modalities. The book will be of interest to researchers in computational stereo and vision science, as well as scholars and students of cognitive science, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence.
