In this volume specific cognitive sub-functions are identified and indications of how basic vestibular input contributes to each are described. The broad range of these functions is consistent with the broad spread of vestibular projections throughout the cortex. Combining vestibular signals about the head’s orientation relative to gravity with information about head position relative to the body provides sufficient information to map body position onto the ground surface and underlie the sense of spatial position. But vestibular signals are also fundamental to sensorimotor control and even to high-level bodily perception such as the sense of body ownership and the anchoring of perspective to the body. Clinical observations confirm the essential role of vestibular signals in maintaining a coherent self-representation and suggest some novel rehabilitation strategies. The chapters presented in this volume are previously published in a Special Issue of Multisensory Research , Volume 28, Issue 5-6 (2015). Contributors are: M. Barnett-Cowan, O. Blanke, J. Blouin, G.

"Rather than trying to understand the [Roman] Empire through the lens of modern organizations and institutions, Gargola looks at the idiosyncratic way the elite viewed the geographical world around them and how it fundamentally informed the way they ruled over their dominion. From what geometrical patterns they preferred to how they constructed their hierarchies in space, Gargola brings together a wide body of disparate materials to demonstrate how spatial orientation dictated action"--

This accessible textbook/reference reviews the fundamental concepts and practical issues involved in designing digital surveillance systems that fully exploit the power of intelligent computing techniques. The book presents comprehensive coverage of all aspects of such systems, from camera calibration and data capture, to the secure transmission of surveillance data. In addition to the detection and recognition of objects and biometric features, the text also examines the automated observation of surveillance events, and how this can be enhanced through the use of deep learning methods and supercomputing technology. This updated new edition features extended coverage on face detection, pedestrian detection and privacy preservation for intelligent surveillance. Topics and features: Contains review questions and exercises in every chapter, together with a glossary Describes the essentials of implementing an intelligent surveillance system and analyzing surveillance data, including a range of biometric characteristics Examines the importance of network security and digital forensics in the communication of surveillance data, as well as issues of issues of privacy and ethics Discusses the Viola-Jones object detection method, and the HOG algorithm for pedestrian and human behavior recognition Reviews the use of artificial intelligence for automated monitoring of surveillance events, and decision-making approaches to determine the need for human intervention Presents a case study on a system that triggers an alarm when a vehicle fails to stop at a red light, and identifies the vehicle’s license plate number Investigates the use of cutting-edge supercomputing technologies for digital surveillance, such as FPGA, GPU and parallel computing This concise, classroom-tested textbook is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate-level courses on intelligent surveillance. Researchers interested in entering this area will also find the book suitable as a helpful self-study reference. Dr. Wei Qi Yan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. His other publications include the Springer title Visual Cryptography for Image Processing and Security.

What makes a space Jewish? This wide-ranging volume revisits literal as well as metaphorical spaces in modern German history to examine the ways in which Jewishness has been attributed to them both within and outside of Jewish communities, and what the implications have been across different eras and social contexts. Working from an expansive concept of “the spatial,” these contributions look not only at physical sites but at professional, political, institutional, and imaginative realms, as well as historical Jewish experiences of spacelessness. Together, they encompass spaces as varied as early modern print shops and Weimar cinema, always pointing to the complex intertwining of German and Jewish identity.

This book presents a systematic study of visual pattern discovery, from unsupervised to semi-supervised manner approaches, and from dealing with a single feature to multiple types of features. Furthermore, it discusses the potential applications of discovering visual patterns for visual data analytics, including visual search, object and scene recognition. It is intended as a reference book for advanced undergraduates or postgraduate students who are interested in visual data analytics, enabling them to quickly access the research world and acquire a systematic methodology rather than a few isolated techniques to analyze visual data with large variations. It is also inspiring for researchers working in computer vision and pattern recognition fields. Basic knowledge of linear algebra, computer vision and pattern recognition would be helpful to readers.
