Networks have become nearly ubiquitous and increasingly complex, and their support of modern enterprise environments has become fundamental. Accordingly, robust network management techniques are esse …

Adding the time dimension to real-world databases produces Time Series Databases (TSDB) and introduces new aspects and difficulties to data mining and knowledge discovery. This book covers the state- …

This book describes exciting new opportunities for utilizing robust graph representations of data with common machine learning algorithms. Graphs can model additional information which is often not p …

In graph-based structural pattern recognition, the idea is to transform patterns into graphs and perform the analysis and recognition of patterns in the graph domain â commonly referred to as graph m …

The field of pattern recognition has seen enormous progress since its beginnings almost 50 years ago. A large number of different approaches have been proposed. Hybrid methods aim at combining the ad …

Neural networks and fuzzy techniques are among the most promising approaches to pattern recognition. Neuro-fuzzy systems aim at combining the advantages of the two paradigms. This book is a collectio …

An inadequate infrastructure for software testing is causing major losses to the world economy. The characteristics of software quality problems are quite similar to other tasks successfully tackled …

This book addresses the task of processing online handwritten notes acquired from an electronic whiteboard, which is a new modality in handwriting recognition research. The main motivation of this bo …

This book is currently the only one on this subject containing both introductory material and advanced recent research results. It presents, at one end, fundamental concepts and notations developed i …

This book contains 31 selected papers (out of 136 accepted) from the 9th Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis, held in Uppsala, Sweden, 6-9 June 1995. They represent the very best of what is cur …

Graph theory has strong historical roots in mathematics, especially in topology. Its birth is usually associated with the "four-color problem" posed by Francis Guthrie 1 in 1852, but its re …

A sharp increase in the computing power of modern computers, accompanied by a decrease in the data storage costs, has triggered the development of extremely powerful algorithms that can analyze compl …

Dieses Buch bietet eine systematische Einführung in dieses neue Arbeitsfeld der automatischen Bildanalyse. Es behandelt sämtliche wichtigen Teilaspekte, beginnend mit der Gewinnung von Tiefenbildern …

Document image analysis is the automatic computerinterpretation of images of printed and handwrittendocuments, including text, drawings, maps, music scores, etc. Research in this field supports a rap …

Thirty years ago pattern recognition was dominated by the learning machine concept: that one could automate the process of going from the raw data to a classifier. The derivation of numerical feature …

Der Band enthält die Vorträge, die auf dem 10. DAGM-Symposium Ende September 1988 in Zürich gehalten wurden. Die DAGM veranstaltet seit 1978 jährlich an verschiedenen Orten ein wissenschaftliches Sym …

Many business decisions are made in the absence of complete information about the decision consequences. Credit lines are approved without knowing the future behavior of the customers; stocks are bou …

This book is the result of a special workshop on Spatial Computing which brought together experts in computer vision, visualization, multimedia and geographic information systems to discuss common pr …

This text features a broad array of research efforts in computer vision including low level processing, perceptual organization, object recognition and active vision. The volume’s nine papers specifi …

Optical character recognition and document image analysis have become very important areas with a fast growing number of researchers in the field. This comprehensive handbook with contributions by em …

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) originally emerged in the domain of speech recognition. In recent years, they have attracted growing interest in the area of computer vision as well. This book is a collec …

The widespread use of bankchecks in daily life makes the development of check-reading systems of fundamental relevance to banks and other financial institutions. This will improve productivity and al …

Rapid advances in sensors, computers, and algorithms continue to fuel dramatic improvements in intelligent robots. In addition, robot vehicles are starting to appear in a number of applications. For …

This edited and reviewed volume consists of papers that were originally presented at a workshop in the Scientific Center at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany. It gives an overview of the field and presents t …
