"While there are many books that teach the "how-to" of photography, Science for the Curious Photographer is a book for those who also want to understand how photography works. Beginning with an introduction to the history and science of photography, Charles S. Johnson, Jr. addresses questions about the principles of photography, such as why a camera needs a lens, how lenses work, and why modern lenses are so complicated. Addressing the complex aspects...

Continuing in the tradition of the bestselling first edition, this book examines networked surveillance video solutions. It provides the latest details on industry hardware, software, and networking capabilities of the latest cameras and DVRs. It addresses in full detail updated specifications on MPEG-4 and other digital video formats, resolution advantages of analog v. digital, intelligent video capabilities, frame rate control, and indoor/outdoor...

Build practical applications of computer vision using the OpenCV library with Python. This book discusses different facets of computer vision such as image and object detection, tracking and motion analysis and their applications with examples. The author starts with an introduction to computer vision followed by setting up OpenCV from scratch using Python. The next section discusses specialized image processing and segmentation and how images are...

Ginny's eyes play tricks on her, making her see everything double, but when she goes to vision screening at school and discovers that not everyone sees this way, she learns that her double vision can be cured.

"Spotting a face in a crowd is easy. We can do it from almost any angle, up close or far away, in person or in a picture. We do it so often that we take it for granted. But object recognition, the neural process that enables us to find that face, is hard. Your brain is small and slow. It has neither the time nor the capacity to store and recall whole images of everything you see from every possible angle. Rather, brains work by figuring out what is...

Data is the indispensable fuel that drives the decision making of everything from governments, to major corporations, to sports teams. Its value is almost beyond measure. But what if that data is either unavailable or problematic to access? That's where synthetic data comes in. This book will show you how to generate synthetic data and use it to maximum effect. Synthetic Data for Deep Learning begins by tracing the need for and development of synthetic...

After visiting the eye doctor and getting fitted with glasses, Arlo the dog is able to catch the ball thrown by his owner.

This video presents a comprehensive range of visual behaviors, grouped into self-contained Developmental Sequence Clusters, which demonstrate how skills at each level lead to those at the next. Major topics include: reflexive patterns (pupillary reactions, doll's eye responses, and eyelid reflexes), and voluntary movements of localization (visual approach), fixation (visual grasp), ocular pursuit (visual manipulation), and gaze shift (visual release)....

Build deep learning and computer vision systems using Python, TensorFlow, Keras, OpenCV, and more, right within the familiar environment of Microsoft Windows. The book starts with an introduction to tools for deep learning and computer vision tasks followed by instructions to install, configure, and troubleshoot them. Here, you will learn how Python can help you build deep learning models on Windows. Moving forward, you will build a deep learning...

"Though Paige claims, "I can see just fine," her parents grow concerned and decide it's time for Paige to visit the eye doctor. Paige remains defiant until she finds the perfect frames and more importantly, perfect eyesight"--
