Hexagonal Image Processing provides an introduction to the processing of hexagonally sampled images, includes a survey of the work done in the field, and presents a novel framework for hexagonal image processing (HIP) based on hierarchical aggregates.Digital image processing is currently dominated by the use of square sampling lattices, however, hexagonal sampling lattices can also be used to define digital images. The strengths offered by hexagonal lattices over square lattices are considerable:* higher packing density,* uniform connectivity of points (pixels) in the lattice,* better angular resolution by virtue of having more nearest neighbours, and* superlative representation of curves.The utility of the HIP framework is demonstrated by implementing several basic image processing techniques (for the spatial and frequency domain) and some applications. The HIP framework serves as a tool for comparing processing of images defined on a square vs hexagonal grid, to determine their relative merits and demerits. The theory and algorithms covered are supplemented by attention to practical details such as accommodating hardware that support only images sampled on a square lattice. Including a Foreword written by Professor Narendra Ahuja, an eminent researcher in the field of Image Processing and Computer Vision, the book’s fresh approach to the subject offers insight and workable know-how to both researchers and postgraduates.

Bacteriophages in Dairy Processing


Free Download Andrea Del Lujan Quiberoni, "Bacteriophages in Dairy Processing "
English | ISBN: 1613245173 | 2012 | 307 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Fermented dairy products represent one of the oldest forms of biotechnology practice by mankind. Essential to this process is the growth and development of a highly specialized and specifically selected group of microbes collectively known as Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) that bring about the bioconversion of milk to one of a myriad of unique fermented dairy foods. Today, the economic value of the global dairy industry is estimated in the billions and is dependent on the consistent and reliable activity of LAB. Through the chapters of this book, experts in the field describe the basic biology and genetics of LAB phage providing a basis of understanding for their impact on the dairy fermentation process.
