This comprehensive guide
offers a new approach for developing and implementing
robust computational methodologies that uncover the
key geometric and topological information from signals
and images. With an emphasis on intuitive and
application-driven arguments, this text covers not
only a range of methods in use today, but also
introduces promising new developments for the future,
bringing the reader up-to-date with the state of the
art in signal and image analysis. Covering basic
principles as well as advanced concepts and
applications, and with examples, this is an invaluable resource for graduate
students, researchers, and industry practitioners in a
range of fields including signal and image processing,
and computer graphics. Available to purchase from Amazon, Wordery, Indigo. |
