A comprehensive reference book that addresses the field of machine vision and its significance in cyber-physical systems. It explores the multidisciplinary nature of machine vision, involving electronic and mechatronic devices, Artificial Intelligence algorithms, embedded systems, control systems, robotics, interconnectivity, Data Science, and cloud computing. The book aims to provide advanced students, early career researchers, and established scholars with state-of-the-art knowledge and novel content related to the implementation of machine vision in engineering, scientific knowledge, and technological innovation. The chapters of the book delve into various topics and applications within the realm of machine vision. They cover areas such as camera and inertial measurement unit calibration, technical vision systems for human detection, design and evaluation of support systems using neural networks, UV sensing in contemporary applications, fiber Bragg grating arrays for medical diagnosis, color model creation for terrain recognition by robots, navigation systems for aircraft, object classification in infrared images, feature selection for vehicle/non-vehicle classification, visualization of sedimentation in extreme conditions, quality estimation of tea using machine vision, image dataset augmentation techniques, machine vision for astronomical images, etc. The use of current technology requires measuring essential attributes from objects, health data, dimensions of a surface and weather, to mention some. These are necessary to do breakthrough innovations in a wide range of fields. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) field is one of them. This field is aimed at the research for imitating human abilities, above all, how they learn. AI can be divided into two main branches such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning.

This book offers a comprehensive survey of shared-memory synchronization, with an emphasis on “systems-level” issues. It includes sufficient coverage of architectural details to understand correctness and performance on modern multicore machines, and sufficient coverage of higher-level issues to understand how synchronization is embedded in modern programming languages. The primary intended audience for this book is “systems programmers”—the authors of operating systems, library packages, language run-time systems, concurrent data structures, and server and utility programs. Much of the discussion should also be of interest to application programmers who want to make good use of the synchronization mechanisms available to them, and to computer architects who want to understand the ramifications of their design decisions on systems-level code. This second edition, published roughly a decade after the original, has numerous small improvements throughout—clarifications, bug fixes, and references to newer work. It also incorporates two major updates. First, we have re-worked and clarified the memory model and notation used in our examples. In particular, we now employ explicit load and store operations for all accesses to shared (atomic) variables, and we have adopted the C++ convention of making such accesses fully ordered (sequentially consistent) unless otherwise noted. These conventions necessitated changes to most of our algorithmic pseudocode.

Learn how to build reliable software that deals with payments, money, numbers, transactions, webhooks, dashboards, and exports. "Building Finance Apps with Laravel" is a 90-page guide that teaches you how to build reliable software that deals with money. In this book, I'd like to show you some ideas and tips that you can use in any financial-related applications of features. We're going to rebuild some features of Paddle. Paddle is a finance application. I personally use Paddle to sell my books and SaaS and it's a great service. The main benefit is that you don't have to deal with hundreds or thousands of invoices and VAT ramifications. Paddle handles it for you. They send an invoice to the buyer and apply the right amount of VAT based on the buyer's location. They also handle VAT ramifications. You, as the seller, don't have to deal with any of that stuff. They just send you the money once every month and you have only one invoice. It also provides nice dashboards and reports. In this short book, I'd like to rebuild some of its core features. My experience is that there are lots of (mostly) legacy projects where dealing with money, numbers, and payments is implemented in a horrible way.

"Django Unleashed: Building Web Applications with Python's Framework" is your ultimate guide to mastering web development with Django, Python's powerful and versatile web framework. Whether you're an aspiring web developer or an experienced programmer looking to expand your skill set, this comprehensive book will take you from the fundamentals of Django to building advanced web applications with ease. With a focus on hands-on learning, this book provides you with a step-by-step approach to building web applications. You'll start by setting up your development environment and creating your first Django project. Django is a open-source web framework for building web applications rapidly. It follows the Python programming language and encourages the use of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern, known in Django as the Model-View-Template (MVT) pattern. Django aims to simplify the web development process by providing a robust set of tools and libraries that handle common web development tasks. It emphasizes reusability, modularity, and the “Don’t Repeat Yourself” (DRY) principle. Developers can focus on writing their application’s business logic while Django takes care of much of the underlying infrastructure.
