Aaron Price built Ethos Tech to keep a promise he made at sixteen, standing at his sister's cremation: that no family would ever stand helpless again while the data that could have saved them sat in silos.Five years later, the company is real, the algorithms work, and Damian Harwell — a hedge fund predator with a 22% stake — is about to call the vote that will sell it for parts. The board has turned. Aaron's MIT roommate has turned. His mentor has turned. The shareholder meeting is...

Goddess Kali is the foremost of the ten Mahavidyas. The ignorant often associate her with death, destruction and uncontrollable rage. Among the most extreme ways of her worship is a path that goes through the Shmashan, the cremation ground. I chose that path despite being unprepared by worldly standards and took the deepest plunge in the spiritual ocean. This book is about the experience of my dive.

Teenage, adolescence and youth are phases that are perhaps the most beautiful in any individual's life. Yet, for many, this becomes a period of turbulence, turmoil, confusions and many more such feelings. It does not necessarily have to be so. There is no Correct Approach. It has to be a Personal Approach. Each one has to find his or her own way. We are individuals, born with the right to think and act freely. Yet there are views of Others, which many a time, try and push us in Their paths...

Once a business is connected to the Internet, it is vulnerable to cyberattacks, threats, and vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities now take several forms, including Phishing, Trojans, Botnets, Ransomware, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), Wiper Attacks, Intellectual Property thefts, and others.This book will help and guide the readers through the process of creating and integrating a secure cyber ecosystem into their digital business operations. In addition, it will help readers safeg...

The book provides copyright protection approaches for videos using watermarking. The various watermarking techniques using various transforms such as discrete cosine transform (DCT), discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) for videos are presented. The book also provides video watermarking approach using compressive sensing (CS) theory. The presented watermarking techniques are designed and implemented using color digital videos. The performance of the prese...

This book provides basic theories and implementations using SCILAB open-source software for digital images. The book simplifies image processing theories and well as implementation of image processing algorithms, making it accessible to those with basic knowledge of image processing. This book includes many SCILAB programs at the end of each theory, which help in understanding concepts. The book includes more than sixty SCILAB programs of the image processing theory. In the appendix, reade...

This book shows how machine learning can detect moving objects in a digital video stream. The authors present different background subtraction approaches, foreground segmentation, and object tracking approaches to accomplish this. They also propose an algorithm that considers a multimodal background subtraction approach that can handle a dynamic background and different constraints. The authors show how the proposed algorithm is able to detect and track 2D & 3D objects in monocular sequenc...

This book presents an approach to postmortem human identification using dental image processing based on dental features and characteristics, and provides information on various identification systems based on dental features using image processing operations. The book also provides information on a novel human identification approach that uses Infinite Symmetric Exponential Filter (ISEF) based edge detection and contouring algorithms.Provides complete details on dental i...
