Explaining clearly the importance of the relationship between theoretical and practical aspects of policy-making, the book gives a thorough overview of the people and organisations involved in the process. Fully revised and updated for a 7th edition, The public policy process provides: clear exploration, using many illustrations, of how policy is made and implemented. A new chapter on comparative theory and methods. New material on studying advocacy coalitions, policy changes, governance, and evaluation.

The 32 revised full papers and one invited paper presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on digital geometry: curves, straightness, convexity, geometric transformations, metrics, distance transforms and skeletons, segmentation, thinning, skeletonization, image representation, processing, analysis, reconstruction and recognition, digital tomography, image models based on geometry, combinatorics, arithmetics, algebra, mathematical morphology, topology and grammars, as well as digital topology and its applications to image modeling and analysis. 410 0$aImage Processing, Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and Graphics,$x3004-9954 ;$v5852 606 $aComputer vision 606 $aComputer programming 606 $aComputer science 606 $aPattern recognition systems 606 $aComputer graphics 606 $aAlgorithms 606 $aComputer Vision 606 $aProgramming Techniques 606 $aTheory of Computation 606 $aAutomated Pattern Recognition 606 $aComputer Graphics 606 $aAlgorithms 615 0$aComputer vision. 615 0$aComputer programming. 615 0$aComputer science. 615 0$aPattern recognition systems. 615 0$aComputer graphics. 615 0$aAlgorithms. 615 14$aComputer Vision. 615 24$aProgramming Techniques. 615 24$aTheory of Computation. 615 24$aAutomated Pattern Recognition. 615 24$aComputer Graphics. 615 24$aAlgorithms. 676 $a004n/a 686 $aDAT 756f$2stub 686 $aDAT 760f$2stub 686 $aSS 4800$2rvk 701 $aWiederhold$b Petra$01751778 701 $aBarneva$b Reneta P$01749780 712 12$aInternational Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483974503321 996 $aCombinatorial Image Analysis$94186895 997 $aUNINA
