TOF Range-Imaging Cameras
by David Stoppa Fabio RemondinoToday the cost of solid-state two-dimensional imagers has dramatically dropped, introducing low cost systems on the market suitable for a variety of applications, including both industrial and consumer products. However, these systems can capture only a two-dimensional projection (2D), or intensity map, of the scene under observation, losing a variable of paramount importance, i.e., the arrival time of the impinging photons. Time-Of-Flight (TOF) Range-Imaging (TOF) is an emerging sensor technology able to deliver, at the same time, depth and intensity maps of the scene under observation. Featuring different sensor resolutions, RIM cameras serve a wide community with a lot of applications like monitoring, architecture, life sciences, robotics, etc. This book will bring together experts from the sensor and metrology side in order to collect the state-of-art researchers in these fields working with RIM cameras. All the aspects in the acquisition and processing chain will be addressed, from recent updates concerning the photo-detectors, to the analysis of the calibration techniques, giving also a perspective onto new applications domains.

TORUS 2 - Toward an Open Resource Using Services: Cloud Computing for Environmental Data
by Dominique LafflyThis book, presented in three volumes, examines "environmental" disciplines in relation to major players in contemporary science: Big Data, artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Today, there is a real sense of urgency regarding the evolution of computer technology, the ever-increasing volume of data, threats to our climate and the sustainable development of our planet. As such, we need to reduce technology just as much as we need to bridge the global socio-economic gap between the North and South; between universal free access to data (open data) and free software (open source). In this book, we pay particular attention to certain environmental subjects, in order to enrich our understanding of cloud computing. These subjects are: erosion; urban air pollution and atmospheric pollution in Southeast Asia; melting permafrost (causing the accelerated release of soil organic carbon in the atmosphere); alert systems of environmental hazards (such as forest fires, prospective modeling of socio-spatial practices and land use); and web fountains of geographical data. Finally, this book asks the question: in order to find a pattern in the data, how do we move from a traditional computing model-based world to pure mathematical research? After thorough examination of this topic, we conclude that this goal is both transdisciplinary and achievable.

TRIZ für Ingenieure: Theorie und Praxis des erfinderischen Problemlösens
by Karen GaddTRIZ, sinngema? ubersetzt als Theorie des erfinderischen Problemlosens, ist eine machtige Methode, um aus dem Erfahrungsschatz fruherer Erkenntnisse aktuelle Probleme zu verstehen und zielgerichtet zu losen, mit denen Ingenieure in ihrer taglichen Arbeit konfrontiert sind, sei es bei der Entwicklung neuer oder bei der Verbesserung bestehender Produkte. Es gibt viele Ansatze zur Analyse von Problemen und zur Definition der Anforderungen an eine Losung; TRIZ vereint diese Ansatze konzeptionell und gibt daruber hinaus, im Gegensatz zu anderen Methoden, Ingenieursteams Werkzeuge an die Hand, mit denen - systematisch - Losungen fur gegebene Fragestellungen gefunden werden konnen. Damit ist TRIZ das Mittel der Wahl, um in Unternehmen und Forschungseinrichtungen Kreativitat und Innovationskraft zu fordern. Dieser leicht zugangliche Praxisfuhrer in die Welt von TRIZ entstand aus der langjahrigen Schulungs- und Beratungserfahrung der Autorin Karen Gadd. Auf einzigartig verstandliche und unterhaltsame Weise, unterstutzt durch speziell fur dieses Buch erstellte Illustrationen und Cartoons, gelingt es Karen Gadd, den Leserinnen und Lesern die TRIZ-Methode nahezubringen, so dass sie diese in der Praxis einsetzen konnen. Dabei werden die abstrakten Ansatze wie die Widerspruchsmatrix, Ressourcen-Checklisten und das Prinzip der Idealitat stets mit konkreten Beispielen und Fallstudien aus der Praxis untermauert.

TRIZ. Theory of Inventive Problem Solving: Level 1
by Vladimir PetrovThis introductory book describes the initial (first) level of studying the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) from the series “TRIZ from A to Z,” and presents the most general methods for solving inventive problems and generating new ideas. Chapter 1 examines traditional technologies for problem solving, based on trial and error. Chapter 2 describes the general concept of TRIZ, while Chapter 3 explains the main notions of “system” approaches, like system thinking, system and its hierarchy, system effect, emergency, synergetic effect and systematicity. In turn, Chapter 4 describes the notion of “ideality” and Chapter 5 addresses the notion of resources, their types, and methods for using them. Chapter 6 acquaints readers with one of the most important aspects of TRIZ: contradiction. Chapter 7 describes the inventive principles, while Chapter 8 includes descriptions of the systems of trends proposed by G. Altshuller and the author. In closing, the author makes recommendations on how to most effectively use TRIZ tools, on how readers can improve their knowledge, skills and habits concerning the use of TRIZ, and on how they can hone their inventive thinking skills. The book also features Appendices that include analyses of selected problems, a list of the main websites related to TRIZ, and lists of examples, problems, illustrations, tables and formulae.

TV Cops: The Contemporary American Television Police Drama
by Jonathan Nichols-PethickThe police drama has been one of the longest running and most popular genres in American television. In TV Cops, Jonathan Nichols-Pethick argues that, perhaps more than any other genre, the police series in all its manifestations—from Hill Street Blues to Miami Vice to The Wire—embodies the full range of the cultural dynamics of television. Exploring the textual, industrial, and social contexts of police shows on American television, this book demonstrates how polices drama play a vital role in the way we understand and engage issues of social order that most of us otherwise experience only in such abstractions as laws and crime statistics. And given the current diffusion and popularity of the form, we might ask a number of questions that deserve serious critical attention: Under what circumstances have stories about the police proliferated in popular culture? What function do these stories serve for both the television industry and its audiences? Why have these stories become so commercially viable for the television industry in particular? How do stories about the police help us understand current social and political debates about crime, about the communities we live in, and about our identities as citizens?
