{"product_id":"9781461427056","title":"Information Science and Statistics","description":"\u003ch1\u003eInformation Science and Statistics\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFieguth, Paul\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eImages are all around us! The proliferation of low-cost, high-quality imaging devices has led to an explosion in acquired images. When these images are acquired from a microscope, telescope, satellite, or medical imaging device, there is a statistical image processing task: the inference of something—an artery, a road, a DNA marker, an oil spill—from imagery, possibly noisy, blurry, or incomplete.\nA great many textbooks have been written on image processing. However this book does not so much focus on \u003cem\u003eimages\u003c\/em\u003e, per se, but rather on spatial data sets, with one or more measurements taken over a two or higher dimensional space, and to which standard image-processing algorithms may not apply.\nThere are many important data analysis methods developed in this text for such statistical image problems. Examples abound throughout remote sensing (satellite data mapping, data assimilation, climate-change studies, land use), medical imaging (organ segmentation, anomaly detection), computer vision (image classification, segmentation), and other 2D\/3D problems (biological imaging, porous media).\nThe goal, then, of this text is to address methods for solving multidimensional statistical problems. The text strikes a balance between mathematics and theory on the one hand, versus applications and algorithms on the other, by deliberately developing the basic theory (Part I), the mathematical modeling (Part II), and the algorithmic and numerical methods (Part III) of solving a given problem. The particular emphases of the book include inverse problems, multidimensional modeling, random fields, and hierarchical methods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-12-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461427056\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-7294-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 454\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382419611788,"sku":"9781461427056","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461427056.jpg?v=1779042883","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461427056","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
