Machine Vision Beyond Visible Spectrum [Hardcover]

The material of this book encompasses many disciplines, including visible,

infrared, far infrared, millimeter wave, microwave, radar, synthetic aperture radar, and

electro-optical sensors as well as the very dynamic topics of image processing, computer

vision and pattern recognition.

This book is composed of six parts:

* Advanced background modeling for surveillance

* Advances in Tracking in Infrared imagery

* Methods for Pose estimation in Ultrasound and LWIR imagery

* Recognition in multi-spectral and synthetic aperture radar

* Fusion of disparate sensors

* Smart Sensors

1.
