This modern treatment of computer vision focuses on learning and inference in probabilistic models as a unifying theme. It shows how to use training data to learn the relationships between the observed image data and the aspects of the world that we wish to estimate, such as the 3D structure or the object class, and how to exploit these relationships to make new inferences about the world from new image data. With minimal prerequisites, the book starts from the basics of probability and model fitting and works up to real examples that the reader can implement and modify to build useful vision systems. Primarily meant for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, the detailed methodological presentation will also be useful for practitioners of computer vision. • Covers cutting-edge techniques, including graph cuts, machine learning and multiple view geometry • A unified approach shows the common basis for solutions of important computer vision problems, such as camera calibration, f

The Second International Congress of Applied Linguistics, held in Cambridge (8–12 September 1969), provided papers from all over the world to different subjects within the linguistic family. These are: linguistics applied to literary texts, computer analysis of texts, psychology of first and second language learning, speech research, technology of language learning, language teaching and test material and methodology, lexicography, theory of translation, contrastive linguistics, and sociolinguistics. This book is a fascinating and useful work of reference for all concerned with applied linguistics.
