Richard Woods – författare

For courses in Image Processing and Computer Vision.

For years, Image Processing has been the foundational text for the study of digital image processing. The book is suited for students at the college senior and first-year graduate level with prior background in mathematical analysis, vectors, matrices, probability, statistics, linear systems, and computer programming. As in all earlier editions, the focus of this edition of the book is on fundamentals.

The 4th Edition is based on an extensive survey of faculty, students, and independent readers in 5 institutions from 3 countries. Their feedback led to epanded or new coverage of topics such as deep learning and deep neural networks, including convolutional neural nets, the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT), maimally-stable etremal regions (MSERs), graph cuts, k-means clustering and superpiels, active contours (snakes and level sets), and eact histogram matching. Major improvements were made in reorganising the material on image transforms into a more cohesive presentation, and in the discussion of spatial kernels and spatial filtering.

Richard Woods is back! and this time the satirist and social commentator aims his high powered perception at the relationship industry. Without consideration for political correctness, Woods calls out self-help experts whom he perceives as fact challenged, greed driven, and morally suspect and openly questions their qualifications to offer relationship advice in the first place. Never one to mince words, Woods offers perspectives about marriage and monogamy that you wont hear on daytime television.

If youre wondering why certain couples always seem like they are sharing a sexy little secret while most others are trapped in habitually contentious Mars/Venus relationships, UnLearn Vanilla Marriage will tell you things that the self-help industry doesnt want you to know.

This is the definitive book for anyone who needs help repairing the damage that conventional wisdom does to a marriage.- David Harris Harris Media Group Inc.

Rich Woods is one of todays most unapologetic and irreverent writers. His unique commentary style puts social topics under both a microscope and a sledgehammer.- Steve Harwood, Editor, Kasidie Magazine.com

Some of the greatest thinkers of all time were those who thought outside the box, but not many have Richs sense of humor.- Brian Sapient Founder, Rational Responders
