Product Description: Line drawing interpretation is a challenging area with enormous practical potential. At present, many companies throughout the world invest large amounts of money and human resource in the input of paper drawings into computers. The technology needed to produce an image of a drawing is widely available, but the transformation of these images into more useful forms is an active field of research and development...read more

Product Description: This book reports critical analyses on complexity issues in the continuum setting and on generalization to new examples, which are two basic milestones in learning from examples in connectionist models. The problem of loading the weights of neural networks, which is often framed as continuous optimization, has been the target of many criticisms, since the potential solution of any learning problem is severely limited by the presence of local minimal in the error function...read more

Product Description: Aims of this book are to disseminate wider and in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge about neural networks in measurement, instrumentation and the related industrial applications. It also creates a clear consciousness about the effectiveness of these techniques as well as the measurement and instrumentation application problems in industrial environments...read more

Product Description: The image analysis community has put much effort into developing systems for the automatic reading of various types of documents containing text, graphic information, and pictures. A closely related but much more problematic task is the reading and interpretation of line drawings such as maps, engineering drawings, and diagrams...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
