Video Tracking provides a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental aspects of algorithm and application development for the task of estimating, over time, the position of objects of interest seen through cameras. Starting from the general problem definition and a review of existing and emerging video tracking applications, the book discusses popular methods, such as those based on correlation and gradient-descent. Using practical examples, the reader is introduced to the advantages and limitations of deterministic approaches, and is then guided toward more advanced video tracking solutions, such as those based on the Bayes’ recursive framework and on Random Finite Sets. Key features: Discusses the design choices and implementation issues required to turn the underlying mathematical models into a real-world effective tracking systems. Provides block diagrams and simil-code implementation of the algorithms. Reviews methods to evaluate the performance of video trackers – this is identified as a major problem by end-users. The book aims to help researchers and practitioners develop techniques and solutions based on the potential of video tracking applications. The design methodologies discussed throughout the book provide guidelines for developers in the industry working on vision-based applications. The book may also serve as a reference for engineering and computer science graduate students involved in vision, robotics, human-computer interaction, smart environments and virtual reality programmes
Il volume si occupa dell’istituto dell’amministrazione di sostegno, nuova disciplina introdotta nel codice civile con la legge n. 6 del 2004, che ha istituito una nuova figura (quella dell’amministratore di sostegno, appunto) accanto agli altri istituti a tutela delle persone incapaci (interdizione, inabilitazione, incapacità naturale). Secondo quanto previsto dalla legge di riforma, infatti, tutti i soggetti che, a causa di una infermità o di una menomazione fisica o psichica si trovino nell’impossibilità (anche parziale o temporanea) di provvedere ai propri interessi, possono ora essere assistiti da un amministratore di sostegno, appositamente nominato dal giudice. Sono affrontati, tenendo conto della recente normativa e della giurisprudenza formatasi in materia, tutti gli aspetti caratterizzanti questo rivoluzionario istituto, a partire dal procedimento di nomina ad amministratore, per giungere agli effetti, alla responsabilità , fino alle possibili interferenze con altri istituti di diritto privato. STRUTTURA Parte I: L'amministrazione di sostegno. Parte II: Procedimento per la nomina dell’amministratore di sostegno Parte III: Effetti dell’amministrazione Parte IV: Cessazione dell’amministrazione Parte V: Vigilanza sull’amministratore Parte VI: Responsabilità dell’amministratore di sostegno Parte VII: Possibili interferenze tra la carica di amministratore e gli altri istituti a tutela degli incapaci (interdizione, inabilitazione) Parte VIII: Interventi alternativi all’amministrazione di sostegno Parte IX: “Grandi questioni” Il volume ricalca la struttura tipica del Trattato teorico pratico di diritto privato diretto da Guido Alpa e Salvatore Patti; come è proprio di volumi del Trattato, anche questo si chiude con una parte dedicata interamente alle “Grandi questioni”. All’interno è possibile trovare una selezione di casi che rappresentano una summa delle questioni di maggiore interesse, selezionate dall’autore, accompagnate da una soluzione data tenendo conto della normativa in materia e dalla più recente giurisprudenza.
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of competition law and its interpretation in the Italy covers every aspect of the subject – the various forms of restrictive agreements and abuse of dominance prohibited by law and the rules on merger control; tests of illegality; filing obligations; administrative investigation and enforcement procedures; civil remedies and criminal penalties; and raising challenges to administrative decisions. Lawyers who handle transnational commercial transactions will appreciate the explanation of fundamental differences in procedure from one legal system to another, as well as the international aspects of competition law. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes enforcement, with relevant cases analysed where appropriate. An informative introductory chapter provides detailed information on the economic, legal, and historical background, including national and international sources, scope of application, an overview of substantive provisions and main notions, and a comprehensive description of the enforcement system including private enforcement. The book proceeds to a detailed analysis of substantive prohibitions, including cartels and other horizontal agreements, vertical restraints, the various types of abusive conduct by the dominant firms and the appraisal of concentrations, and then goes on to the administrative enforcement of competition law, with a focus on the antitrust authorities’ powers of investigation and the right of defence of suspected companies. This part also covers voluntary merger notifications and clearance decisions, as well as a description of the judicial review of administrative decisions. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in the Italy will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of international and comparative competition law.
«Amendola attribuiva [...] un nuovo è più ampio significato al termine "totalitario" da lui coniato: totalitario non era solo il sistema di dominio politico del fascismo, ma "spirito totalitario" era la pretesa del fascismo di estendere il proprio dominio sulle coscienze degli italiani, obbligandoli a convertirsi alla sua ideologia come una religione politica integralista ed esclusiva ». Un'acuta analisi della nascita del concetto di totalitarismo nell'ambito del primo Gaetano Salvemini Colloquium in Italian History and Culture
This is the first detailed and definitive study of the development and initial success of fascism as it originated in Italy right after the First World War.
Memory of the Argentina Disappearances examines the history of the production, public circulation, and the interpretations and reinterpretations of the Nunca Más report issued by Argentina’s National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons (CONADEP). It was established in 1983 by constitutional president Raúl Alfonsín to investigate the fate of thousands of people who had been disappeared by the state during the seventies. Upon publication in 1984, Nunca Más became a bestseller, was translated into several languages and won greater public importance when the military juntas were brought to trial and the court accepted the report as key evidence. The report’s importance was further enhanced with the adoption of CONADEP and Nunca Más as models for truth commissions established in Latin America, and when it was postulated as a means for conveying an awareness of this past to Argentina’s younger generations. This book contributes to understanding the political processes that led to Nunca Más becoming the way in which Argentines remembered the disappearances and the country’s political violence, and how its meaning is modified by new interpretations. Given the canonical nature of Nunca Más, the book sheds light on the most substantial changes and the continuities in Argentina’s social memory of its recent past.
La Grande Italia traces the history of the myth of the nation in Italy along the curve of its rise and fall throughout the twentieth century. Starting with the festivities for the fiftieth anniversary of the unification of Italy in 1911 and ending with the centennial celebrations of 1961, Emilio Gentile describes a dense sequence of events: from victorious Italian participation in World War I through the rise and triumph of Fascism to Italy's transition to a republic. Gentile's definition of "Italians" encompasses the whole range of political, cultural, and social actors: Liberals and Catholics, Monarchists and Republicans, Fascists and Socialists. La Grande Italia presents a sweeping study of the development of Italian national identity in all its incarnations throughout the twentieth century. This important contribution to the study of modern Italian nationalism and the ambition to achieve a "great Italy" between the unification of Italy and the advent of the Italian Republic will appeal to anyone interested in modern European history, Fascism, and nationalism.
