A Stochastic Grammar of Images
A Stochastic Grammar of Images is the first book to provide a foundational review and perspective of grammatical approaches to computer vision. In its quest for a stochastic and context sensitive grammar of images, it is intended to serve a...
A Signal Processing Perspective of Financial Engineering
Despite the different nature of financial engineering and electrical engineering, both areas are intimately connected on a mathematical level. The foundations of financial engineering lie on the statistical analysis of numerical time series...
A Roadmap for US Robotics – From Internet to Robotics 2020 Edition
Recently the robotics industry celebrated its 60-year anniversary. We have used robots for more than six decades to empower people to do things that are typically dirty, dull and/or dangerous. The industry has progressed significantly over ...
A Review of Point Cloud Registration Algorithms for Mobile Robotics
This monograph addresses the problem of geometric registration and the classical Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm. Though commonly used in several research fields, the focus here is on mobile robotics in which point clouds need to be...
A Review of Personality in Human-Robot Interactions
A Review of Personality in Human-Robot Interactions reviews the literature on personality and embodied physical action (EPA) robots. This monograph investigates the current state of human-robot personality research, discusses the unique rol...
A Primer on Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces
Hilbert space theory is an invaluable mathematical tool in numerous signal processing and systems theory applications. Hilbert spaces satisfying certain additional properties are known as Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces (RKHSs). This prim...
A Prelude to Quantum Field Theory
A concise, beginner-friendly introduction to quantum field theoryQuantum field theory is a powerful framework that extends quantum mechanics in ways that are essential in many modern applications. While it is the fundamental formalism for t...
A Pragmatic Introduction to Secure Multi-Party Computation
Since its introduction by Andrew Yao in the 1980s, multi-party computation has developed from a theoretical curiosity to an important tool for building large-scale privacy-preserving applications. Secure multi-party computation (MPC) enable...
