Sommario/riassunto

Computer vision encompasses the construction of integrated vision systems and the application of vision to problems of real-world importance. The process of creating 3D models is still rather difficult, requiring mechanical measurement of the camera positions or manual alignment of partial 3D views of a scene. However using algorithms, it



is possible to take a collection of stereo-pair images of a scene and then automatically produce a photo-realistic, geometrically accurate digital 3D model.  This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the methods, theories and algorithms of 3D com

Sommario/riassunto

The Malaysian Journey is a most timely publication on Malaysia, as Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad, one of the world's great contemporary leaders, left office in late 2003. The book captures Malaysia's transformation from a former British colony to one of Asia's most developed countries. At the same time, it provides an assessment of the key challenges facing Malaysia. The book, which discusses Malaysia's future, is suitable for policy-makers, business leaders, researchers and students at tertiary institutions, as well as anyone who is interested to know more about one of Southeast Asia's
