More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Intelligent Image Processing describes the EyeTap technology that allows non–invasive tapping into the human eye through devices built into eyeglass frames. This isn′t merely about a computer screen inside eyeglasses, but rather the ability to have a shared telepathic experience among viewers. Written by the developer of the EyeTap principle, this work explores the practical application and far–reaching implications this new technology has for human telecommunications.
From the Back Cover
State–of–the–art technology and cutting–edge applications in image processing
Intelligent Image Processing examines the fundamentals of personal imaging and wearable computing with a concentration on the EyeTap technology invented by the author. EyeTap technology comprises eyeglasses or contact lenses that cause the eye itself to function, in effect, as if it were both a camera and a display. Modern embodiments of this invention use a laser system having no moving parts to provide infinite depth of focus from the inside of the eye, out to infinity. The invention eliminates the distinction between cyberspace and the real world, allowing a shared visual experience and shared visual memory among multiple users.
There are a wide range of commercial applications for this technology, including telephones that allow users to see each other′s points of view, and systems that improve the sight of the visually impaired. These systems have been proven for electronic news gathering in hostile environments such as fires, floods, riots, and documenting human rights violations–all giving rise to a new genre of first–person cinematography. The invention blurs the boundary between seeing and recording, and the boundary between computing and thinking. It will radically change the way pictures are taken, memories are shared, and news is documented.
The author approaches the fundamental ideas of wearable computing and personal imaging by providing an historical overview of the subject that takes the reader from his original wearable photographic computer inventions of the 1970s, through to the modern EyeTap system. This fascinating technology promises to change the way we live and the way we communicate, and Intelligent Image Processing provides a detailed, technical, and stimulating guide for those who wish to learn about or contribute to this promising future.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Combined collection of science papers, 2 Dec 2005
By J. Rebhan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Intelligent Image Processing (Adaptive and Learning Systems for Signal Processing, Communications and Control Series) (Hardcover)
After all this book seems to be just a combination of the science papers of Steve Mann. Those papers are great no offense but i had expected the book to be a bit more "readable". It has some additional content compared to the plain papers so its not senseless to buy it, if you have the money for it.
In my version there is an error on page 237 where the projective model is placed under the "non-chirping models" which is not correct. I think for a book THAT expensive errors such as this should not happen.

Better than papers, 5 Feb 2007
By Albert H. Tyson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Intelligent Image Processing (Adaptive and Learning Systems for Signal Processing, Communications and Control Series) (Hardcover)
This book shows the power of combining many small images of the kind usually encountered in portable cheap consumer-end digital cameras. Steve Mann's text is a convenient and complete package containing the content of many of his research papers. As a text, there is added explanation and exercise work to further learning the material.

This book is the WORST book I have read in years..., 7 Nov 2003
By steve mann - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Intelligent Image Processing (Adaptive and Learning Systems for Signal Processing, Communications and Control Series) (Hardcover)
Well, Before reading my comments take a look at the book itself....mannnn, this book sucked. Badly sucked. I just don't know what you were talking about...I hate to say this, but I have no idea how you wrote this....
