Isogeometric Analysis and Applications 2018 (Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering #133)
by Harald Van Brummelen Cornelis Vuik Matthias Möller Clemens Verhoosel Bernd Simeon Bert JüttlerThis proceedings volume gathers a selection of outstanding research papers presented at the third Conference on Isogeometric Analysis and Applications, held in Delft, The Netherlands, in April 2018. This conference series, previously held in Linz, Austria, in 2012 and Annweiler am Trifels, Germany, in 2014, has created an international forum for interaction between scientists and practitioners working in this rapidly developing field. Isogeometric analysis is a groundbreaking computational approach that aims to bridge the gap between numerical analysis and computational geometry modeling by integrating the finite element method and related numerical simulation techniques into the computer-aided design workflow, and vice versa. The methodology has matured over the last decade both in terms of our theoretical understanding, its mathematical foundation and the robustness and efficiency of its practical implementations. This development has enabled scientists and practitioners to tackle challenging new applications at the frontiers of research in science and engineering and attracted early adopters for this his novel computer-aided design and engineering technology in industry. The IGAA 2018 conference brought together experts on isogeometric analysis theory and application, share their insights into challenging industrial applications and to discuss the latest developments as well as the directions of future research and development that are required to make isogeometric analysis an established mainstream technology.
Graph-Based Representations in Pattern Recognition: 5th IAPR International Workshop, GbRPR 2005, Poitiers, France, April 11-13, 2005, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science #3434)
by Luc Brun Mario VentoMany vision problems have to deal with di?erent entities (regions, lines, line junctions, etc.) and their relationships. These entities together with their re- tionships may be encoded using graphs or hypergraphs. The structural inf- mation encoded by graphs allows computer vision algorithms to address both the features of the di?erent entities and the structural or topological relati- ships between them. Moreover, turning a computer vision problem into a graph problem allows one to access the full arsenal of graph algorithms developed in computer science. The Technical Committee (TC15, http://www.iapr.org/tcs.html) of the IAPR (International Association for Pattern Recognition) has been funded in order to federate and to encourage research work in these ?elds. Among its - tivities, TC15 encourages the organization of special graph sessions at many computer vision conferences and organizes the biennial workshop GbR. While being designed within a speci?c framework, the graph algorithms developed for computer vision and pattern recognition tasks often share constraints and goals with those developed in other research ?elds such as data mining, robotics and discrete geometry. The TC15 community is thus not closed in its research ?elds but on the contrary is open to interchanges with other groups/communities.
Künstliche Intelligenz heute: Anwendungen aus Wirtschaft, Medizin und Wissenschaft
by Gunnar BruneKünstliche Intelligenz wird schon heute in vielen Unternehmen angewendet. Und es werden immer mehr. Schon bald werden KI-Anwender starke Wettbewerbsvorteile erzielen, weil sie bessere Produkte anbieten, die haltbarer sind, effizienter produziert wurden und wahrscheinlich auch nachhaltiger sein werden. Diese Unternehmen haben also gleich mehrere Vorteile. Aber: Dies sind nur selten deutsche Unternehmen. Und es sind noch seltener deutsche Startups. In diesem Buch spricht Gunnar Brune mit Anwendern, Forschern und Investoren aus Wirtschaft, Medizin und Wissenschaft, um zu zeigen, wie Machine Learning und Künstliche Intelligenz erfolgreich und oft überraschend einfach zum Einsatz kommen (Applied AI). Die Lektüre bietet Informationen, Ansätze und Inspiration für den nutzbringenden Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz heute.
Human Paleoneurology (Springer Series in Bio-/Neuroinformatics #3)
by Emiliano BrunerThe book presents an integrative review of paleoneurology, the study of endocranial morphology in fossil species. The main focus is on showing how computed methods can be used to support advances in evolutionary neuroanatomy, paleoanthropology and archaeology and how they have contributed to creating a completely new perspective in cognitive neuroscience. Moreover, thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, the book addresses students and researchers approaching human paleoneurology from different angles and for different purposes, such as biologists, physicians, anthropologists, archaeologists and computer scientists. The individual chapters, written by international experts, represent authoritative reviews of the most important topics in the field. All the concepts are presented in an easy-to-understand style, making them accessible to university students, newcomers and also to anyone interested in understanding how methods like biomedical imaging, digital anatomy and computed and multivariate morphometrics can be used for analyzing ontogenetic and phylogenetic changes according to the principles of functional morphology, morphological integration and modularity.

Photorealistic Rendering in Computer Graphics: Proceedings of the Second Eurographics Workshop on Rendering (Focus on Computer Graphics)
by Pere Brunet Frederik W. JansenPhotorealistic rendering strives to generate images from computer modeled scenes with an image quality as close to real life as possible. A major issue in rendering is simulation of local and global light reflection in a scene. Both ray tracing and radiosity algorithms capture only some of the possible light reflection phenomena. Recently developed two-pass algorithms combine the ray tracing and radiosity approaches and are able to capture the whole range of light reflection. This book is a collection of papers discussing the latest developments, including a new range of improvements, in stochastic sampling strategies, radiosity form factor calculation, and parallel processing for ray tracing and radiosity. A number of papers on rendering applications in interior design, lighting design, and remote sensing conclude the volume. The contributions are revised versions of papers originally presented at the Second Eurographics Workshop on Rendering, held in Barcelona, Spain, in May 1991. The book fully reflects the state of the art in rendering and presentsa wide variety of novel techniques. It will interest researchers and students in computer graphics, as well as designers who want to apply rendering techniques for realistic simulation in lighting design, interior design, and architecture.
