Applying tools for data analysis to the rapidly increasing volume of data about the EarthAn ever-increasing volume of Earth data is being gathered. These data are “big” not only in size but also in their complexity, different formats, and varied scientific disciplines. As such, big data are disrupting traditional research. New methods and platforms, such as the cloud, are tackling these new challenges.Big Data Analytics in Earth, Atmospheric, and Ocean Sciences explores new tools for the analysis and display of the rapidly increasing volume of data about the Earth.Volume highlights include: An introduction to the breadth of big earth data analyticsArchitectures developed to support big earth data analyticsDifferent analysis and statistical methods for big earth dataCurrent applications of analytics to Earth science dataChallenges to fully implementing big data analyticsThe American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.Find out more in this Q&A with the editors.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Theoretical Foundations of Computer Vision, held at Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in March 2000.The 20 revised full papers presented have been through two rounds of reviewing, selection, and revision and give a representative assessment of the foundational issues in multiple-image processing. The papers are organized in topical sections on 3D data acquisition and sensor design, multi-image analysis, data fusion in 3D scene description, and applied 3D vision and virtual reality.

This special compendium provides a concise and unified vision of facial image processing. It addresses a collection of state-of-the-art techniques, covering the most important areas for facial biometrics and behavior analysis. These techniques also converge to serve an emerging practical application of interactive distance learning.Readers will get a broad picture of the fundamental science of the field and technical details that make the research interesting. Moreover, the intellectual investigation motivated by the demand of real-life application will make this volume an inspiring read for current and prospective researchers and engineers in the fields of computer vision, machine learning and image processing.
