Dynamical Systems, Control, Coding, Computer Vision

"...A valuable reference to graduate students, scientists, and researchers in the area of information and control engineering [that] should also be valuable to the system and control community as an introduction to system-related methods in coding, vision, and control of hybrid systems." --Simulation News Europe
