Machine Vision Handbook

The automation of visual inspection is becoming more and more important in modern industry as a consistent, reliable means of judging the quality of raw materials and manufactured goods . The Machine Vision Handbook equips the reader with the practical details required to engineer integrated mechanical-optical-electronic-software systems. Machine vision is first set in the context of basic information on light, natural vision, colour sensing and optics. The physical apparatus required for mechanized image capture lenses, cameras, scanners and light sources are discussed followed by detailed treatment of various image-processing methods including an introduction to the QT image processing system.

Earthquake Resistant Buildings

Dynamic Analyses, Numerical Computations, Codified Methods, Case Studies and Examples
7 This is the first comprehensive introduction into earthquake resistant design and construction of buildings, providing the reader with a plan of the most important topics starting from the soil analysis to the anchorage of tall buildings 7 Particular attention is paid to vertical movement the most dangerous and destructive motion This concise work provides a general introduction to the design of buildings which must be resistant to the effect of earthquakes. A major part of this design involves the building structure which has a primary role in preventing serious damage or structural collapse. Due to the recent discovery of vertical components, it examines not only the resistance to lateral forces but also analyses the disastrous influence of vertical components.
