Deep Learning: From Algorithmic Essence to Industrial Practice introduces the fundamental theories of deep learning, engineering practices, and their deployment and application in the industry. This book provides a detailed explanation of classic convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, and transformer networks based on self-attention mechanisms, along with their variants, combining code demonstrations. Additionally, this book covers the applications of these models in areas including image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation. This book also considers advancements in deep reinforcement learning and generative adversarial networks making it suitable for graduate and senior undergraduate students with backgrounds in computer science, automation, electronics, communications, mathematics, and physics, as well as professional technical personnel who wish to work or are preparing to transition into the field of artificial intelligenceThe code for book may be accessed by visiting the companion website: https://www.elsevier.com/books-and-journals/book-companion/9780443439544Provides in-depth explanations and practical code examples for the latest deep learning architectures, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and transformersExamines theoretical concepts and the engineering practices required for deploying deep learning models in real-world scenariosCovers the use of distributed systems for training and deploying modelsIncludes detailed case studies and applications of deep learning models in various domains including image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation

The boom in tourism to and within China is quite a recent phenomenon. China is now among the leading international tourist destinations, and demand for domestic tourism is rapidly increasing. This study examines the role of tourism in the local economic development in different areas of China, and identifies the decisive factors in determining the success or failure of tourism-oriented development strategy at the local level. The author juxtaposes case studies of Guilin, a domestic and international tourist destination in a less developed local area, Suzhou, also both a domestic and international destination but in a more mature local economy, and lastly Beidaihe, a mainly domestic tourist destination.

This text deals with one of the oldest problems in computer vision, namely to recover the 3-D geometric and kinematic structures of the world from two images, and to recognise a 3-D object in a cluttered scene from one or several views of this object in a different setting. Several different problems have been unified through the use of a unique geometric concept. On the one hand, the geometrical point of view naturally leads to the consideration of the projective geometric structure which relates two images of the same object, the epipolar structure. On the other hand, the practitioner's point of view allows the reduction of the difficult 2-D search tasks encountered in the fundamental problems to much simpler 1-D search tasks, and, for the theoretically inclined reader, it ties the projective, affine and Euclidean structures of the scene to those of the images.Audience: The authors have managed to avoid projective geometry in their exposition, and to guide the reader through the various aspects of epipolar geometry, stereo vision, motion analysis and object recognition using only the standard tools of linear algebra, thus making this a valuable book for a wide audience of researchers and engineers in image-related fields like vision, image processing, computer graphics, robotics, multi-media, and virtual reality.
