A propos de cet article

Hardcover, 345 pages, NOT ex-library. Manufacturing fault: missing the title page and all the contents pages (pp iii-x); main text is complete, all the chapters are there (book opens on a half-title page followed directly by page 1; the missing pages haven't been removed, looks like they just have been omitted in the printing process - book is firmly bound and shows no signs of damage). Residue of a removed sticker inside the front board (covered with a blank sticker). Interior is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text. Boards show gentle handling wear, short corner creases, some tiny scuff-marks. Issued without a dust jacket. -- "This book develops the stochastic geometry framework for image analysis purpose. Two main frameworks are described: marked point process and random closed sets models. We derive the main issues for defining an appropriate model. The algorithms for sampling and optimizing the models as well as for estimating parameters are reviewed.

Synopsis

This book develops the stochastic geometry framework for image analysis purpose. Two main frameworks are described: marked point process and random closed sets models. We derive the main issues for defining an appropriate model. The algorithms for sampling and optimizing the models as well as for estimating parameters are reviewed. Numerous applications, covering remote sensing images, biological and medical imaging, are detailed. This book provides all the necessary tools for developing an image analysis application based on modern stochastic modeling.
