Augmented Reality Law, Privacy, and Ethics: Law, Society, and Emerging AR Technologies
by Brian WassomAugmented Reality (AR) is the blending of digital information in a real-world environment. A common example can be seen during any televised football game, in which information about the game is digitally overlaid on the field as the players move and position themselves. Another application is Google Glass, which enables users to see AR graphics and information about their location and surroundings on the lenses of their "digital eyewear", changing in real-time as they move about. Augmented Reality Law, Privacy, and Ethics is the first book to examine the social, legal, and ethical issues surrounding AR technology. Digital eyewear products have very recently thrust this rapidly-expanding field into the mainstream, but the technology is so much more than those devices. Industry analysts have dubbed AR the "eighth mass medium" of communications. Science fiction movies have shown us the promise of this technology for decades, and now our capabilities are finally catching up to that vision. Augmented Reality will influence society as fundamentally as the Internet itself has done, and such a powerful medium cannot help but radically affect the laws and norms that govern society. No author is as uniquely qualified to provide a big-picture forecast and guidebook for these developments as Brian Wassom. A practicing attorney, he has been writing on AR law since 2007 and has established himself as the world's foremost thought leader on the intersection of law, ethics, privacy, and AR. Augmented Reality professionals around the world follow his Augmented Legality® blog. This book collects and expands upon the best ideas expressed in that blog, and sets them in the context of a big-picture forecast of how AR is shaping all aspects of society.Augmented reality thought-leader Brian Wassom provides you with insight into how AR is changing our world socially, ethically, and legally.Includes current examples, case studies, and legal cases from the frontiers of AR technology.Learn how AR is changing our world in the areas of civil rights, privacy, litigation, courtroom procedure, addition, pornography, criminal activity, patent, copyright, and free speech.An invaluable reference guide to the impacts of this cutting-edge technology for anyone who is developing apps for it, using it, or affected by it in daily life.

Augmented Vision Perception in Infrared: Algorithms and Applied Systems (Advances in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition)
by Riad I. HammoudThroughout much of machine vision’s early years the infrared imagery has suffered from return on investment despite its advantages over visual counterparts. Recently, the ?scal momentum has switched in favor of both manufacturers and practitioners of infrared technology as a result of today’s rising security and safety challenges and advances in thermographic sensors and their continuous drop in costs. This yielded a great impetus in achieving ever better performance in remote surveillance, object recognition, guidance, noncontact medical measurements, and more. The purpose of this book is to draw attention to recent successful efforts made on merging computer vision applications (nonmilitary only) and nonvisual imagery, as well as to ?ll in the need in the literature for an up-to-date convenient reference on machine vision and infrared technologies. Augmented Perception in Infrared provides a comprehensive review of recent deployment of infrared sensors in modern applications of computer vision, along with in-depth description of the world’s best machine vision algorithms and intel- gent analytics. Its topics encompass many disciplines of machine vision, including remote sensing, automatic target detection and recognition, background modeling and image segmentation, object tracking, face and facial expression recognition, - variant shape characterization, disparate sensors fusion, noncontact physiological measurements, night vision, and target classi?cation. Its application scope includes homeland security, public transportation, surveillance, medical, and military. Mo- over, this book emphasizes the merging of the aforementioned machine perception applications and nonvisual imaging in intensi?ed, near infrared, thermal infrared, laser, polarimetric, and hyperspectral bands.

Auralization: Fundamentals of Acoustics, Modelling, Simulation, Algorithms and Acoustic Virtual Reality (RWTHedition)
by Michael VorländerAuralization is the technique of creation and reproduction of sound on the basis of computer data. With this tool it is possible to predict the character of sound signals which are generated at the source and modified by reinforcement, propagation and transmission in systems such as rooms, buildings, vehicles or other technical devices. This book is organized as a comprehensive collection of the basics of sound and vibration, acoustic modelling, simulation, signal processing and audio reproduction. With some mathematical prerequisites, the readers will be able to follow the main strategy of auralization easily and work out their own implementations of auralization in various fields of application in architectural acoustics, acoustic engineering, sound design and virtual reality. For readers interested in basic research, the technique of auralization may be useful to create sound stimuli for specific investigations in linguistic, medical, neurological and psychological research, and in the field of human-machine interaction.
Auralization: Fundamentals of Acoustics, Modelling, Simulation, Algorithms and Acoustic Virtual Reality (RWTHedition)
by Michael VorländerThis is the first focused and detailed textbook on acoustic virtual reality. Auralization is the creation of audible acoustic sceneries from computer-generated data. The term "auralization" is to be understood as being analogue to the well-known technique of "visualization". In visual illustration of scenes, data or any other meaningful information, in movie animation and in computer graphics, we describe the process of "making visible" as visualization. In acoustics, auralization is taking place when acoustic effects, primary sound signals or means of sound reinforcement or sound transmission, are processed to be presented by using electro-acoustic equipment. This book is organized as a comprehensive collection of basics, methodology and strategies of acoustic simulation and auralization.
Ausführbare Spezifikation von Directory-Systemen in einer logischen Sprache (Informatik-Fachberichte #284)
by Rolf StadlerDas Buch behandelt die Spezifikation von Directory-Systemen unter Anwendung von Konzepten der logischen Programmierung. Ausgehend von der Definition derArchitektur eines Directory-Systems wird eine Spezifikationsmethode zur Beschreibung solcher Architekturen vorgestellt. Als Spezifikationssprache dient die Sprache der Hornklausel-Logik, erweitert um Negation. Im Buch werden eine von D.B. Terry bei Xerox PARC entworfene Architektur und ein Ausschnitt aus der Architektur des internationalen Standards f}r Directory-Systeme (X.500) spezifiziert. Daran lassen sich die Vorteile der vorgeschlagenen Methode aufzeigen: Die Spezifikationen sind kompakt, gut lesbar und besitzen eine deklarative und eine prozedurale Semantik. Die erstellten Spezifikationen lassen sich auf einem Prolog-System ausf}hren. Die Ausf}hrbarkeit der Spezifikationen erweist sich als vielseitig anwendbare Eigenschaft, welche beispielsweise die Simulation eines Directory-Systems bei gegebener Konfiguration erm|glicht oder die ]berpr}fung (Verifikation, Validierung) einer Spezifikation erleichtert.

Ausnahmebehandlung in objektorientierten Programmiersprachen (Informatik-Fachberichte #235)
by Christiane FederDie Ausnahmebehandlung ist ein vor allem bei der Automatisierung technischer Prozeßsysteme eingesetztes Sprachmittel. Trotz vieler Entwurfs- und Implementierungsvorschläge für Ausnahmemechanismen blieben die formalen Aspekte der Ausnahmebehandlung bisher weitgehend unberücksichtigt. In diesem Buch wird eine neue Theorie der Ausnahmebehandlung vorgestellt. Für die formale Beschreibung setzt die Autorin die denotationelle Methode der Semantikdefinition ein. Damit kann insbesondere die Einflußnahme der Ausnahmebehandlung auf die Ablaufsteuerung eines Programms, also die wichtigste Auswirkung von Ausnahmemechanismen, sehr elegant, präzise und übersichtlich dargestellt werden. Das Buch wendet sich an Leser, die sich über die Möglichkeiten der Ausnahmebehandlung informieren, Programmiersprachen um einen konkreten Ausnahmemechanismus erweitern oder bestehende Mechanismen vergleichen wollen. Das Ausnahmekonzept wird verständlich und nachvollziehbar dargestellt, ohne daß auf die notwendigen Formalismen verzichtet werden muß. Dabei werden auch die zum Verständnis nötigen Konzepte und Begriffe der objektorientierten Programmierung und der denotationellen Semantikbeschreibung eingeführt.
