Medical Simulation: International Symposium, ISMS 2004, Cambridge, MA, USA, June 17-18, 2004, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)This book contains the written contributions to the International Symposium on Medical Simulation (ISMS 2004) held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA on June 17–18, 2004.
The manuscripts are organized around five thematic sections relating to the multidisciplinary field of medical simulation: soft tissue properties and modeling,... | | Light Field Sampling (Synthesis Lectures on Image, Video, and Multimedia Processing)Light field is one of the most representative image-based rendering techniques that generate novel virtual views from images instead of 3D models. The light field capture and rendering process can be considered as a procedure of sampling the light rays in the space and interpolating those in novel views. As a result, light field can be studied as a... | | Information Science in Theory and PracticeIt is nowadays a commonplace that we are living in an ‘information society’. The practical importance of information to problem solving, decision making, and just plain coping with life is clear to all. The communication of information in society is an immensely variegated and complex phenomenon, and the more understanding of it we can... |
