Oxfam bookshop carlisle a collection of essays based on the proceedings of the first uk workshop involving workers in parallel architectures and computer visionit is argued that the future of computer vision will lie in the use of massive parallelism and that the advances now being made in vlsi technology may allow such parallelism to be economically feasiblerobots for advanced manufacturing which control their own actions by vision, autonomous guided vehicles which can manoeuvre around the factory or office, and "electronic guide dogs" for the blind are all examples of current goals of vision research projectsthe essays discuss the potential offered by solutions to the problem of understanding natural images by computer and the likely effect on societyhowever, there is a huge gap between such applications and what is possible now, and such images often have to be of highly stylized scenes to make any analysis possiblethe work is intended to be of value to researchers in computer vision, parallel computing, robotics, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and associated subjectsin such "real-time" applications, natural scenes will have to be analyzed and understood in a fraction of a secondit was organized by the british computer society, and held in oxford in , bringing together many of the leading researchers in the uk from both industry and academiasee oxfam website for delivery information read morepages are in very good condition, boards are in very good conditionpen inscription on inside fly-leaf

This book is dedicated to a future vision of the body in architecture, questioning the contemporary relationship between our human flesh and the changing architectural fleshin a time when a pervasive discourse about the impact of digital technologies risks turning the architectural skin ever more disembodied, this book argues for a thick embodied flesh by exploring architectural interfaces that are truly inhabitabledifferent concepts of flesh are investigated, not only concerning the architectural and aesthetic, but also the biological aspectsthrough the analysis and design of a variety of buildings and projects, flesh is proposed as a concept that extends the meaning of skin, one of architecture's most fundamental metaphorsthe latter is materialised in form of synthetic neoplasms, which are proposed as new semi-living entities, rather than more commonly derived from scaled-up analogies between biological systems and larger scale architectural constructsa resurgence of interest in flesh, especially in art, has led to a politics of abjection, completely changing traditional aesthetics, and is now giving light to an alternative discussion about the body in architectureit seeks to challenge a common misunderstanding of skin as a flat and thin surfacehybrid technologies and interdisciplinary work methodologies are thus required, and lead to a revision of our current architectural practicethese 'neoplasmatic' creations are identified as partly designed object and partly living material, in which the line between the natural and the artificial is progressively blurredsee oxfam website for delivery information read moretoday's architecture has failed the body with its long heritage of purity of form and aesthetic of cleanlinessoxfam shop castle street this is an "as new" paperback copy of the edition
