商品描述

To achieve the complex task of interpreting what we see, our brains rely on statistical regularities and patterns in visual data. Knowledge of these regularities can also be considerably useful in visual computing disciplines, such as computer vision, computer graphics, and image processing. The field of natural image statistics studies the regularities to exploit their potential and better understand human vision. With numerous color figures throughout, Image Statistics in Visual Computing covers all aspects of natural image statistics, from data collection to analysis to applications in computer graphics, computational photography, image processing, and art.

The authors keep the material accessible, providing mathematical definitions where appropriate to help readers understand the transforms that highlight statistical regularities present in images. The book also describes patterns that arise once the images are transformed and gives examples of applications that have successfully used statistical regularities. Numerous references enable readers to easily look up more information about a specific concept or application. A supporting website also offers additional information, including descriptions of various image databases suitable for statistics.

Collecting state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary knowledge in one source, this book explores the relation of natural image statistics to human vision and shows how natural image statistics can be applied to visual computing. It encourages readers in both academic and industrial settings to develop novel insights and applications in all disciplines that relate to visual computing.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

為了達到解讀我們所看到的複雜任務,我們的大腦依賴於視覺資料中的統計規律和模式。對這些規律的了解在視覺計算學科中也非常有用,例如計算機視覺、計算機圖形學和影像處理。自然影像統計學研究這些規律,以利用其潛力並更好地理解人類視覺。《視覺計算中的影像統計》這本書涵蓋了自然影像統計的所有方面,從數據收集到分析,再到在計算機圖形學、計算攝影、影像處理和藝術中的應用。

作者以易於理解的方式呈現材料,並在適當的地方提供數學定義,以幫助讀者理解突顯在影像中存在的統計規律的轉換。該書還描述了在影像轉換後出現的模式,並提供了成功應用統計規律的示例。大量的參考文獻使讀者能夠輕鬆查找有關特定概念或應用的更多信息。支援網站還提供其他信息,包括適用於統計的各種影像數據庫的描述。

這本書將最新的跨學科知識集結在一起,探討了自然影像統計與人類視覺的關係,並展示了如何將自然影像統計應用於視覺計算。它鼓勵學術界和工業界的讀者在所有與視覺計算相關的學科中開發新的見解和應用。
