Web Site Usability: A Designer's Guide is a report that every person involved in Web design, commerce, or online marketing will want to have. This book is, undoubtedly, the most comprehensive data demonstrating how Web sites actually work when users need specific answers. Researched and compiled by User Interface Engineering, the results are written in an easy to understand style, illustrating the need to make Web sites useful, not complicated.* Based on an extensive study of actual users -- not theory, not graphic design principles, and not new tricks to make a "cool" Web sites* Demonstrates how people actually navigate and extract information on Web sites* Offers guidance for evaluating and improving the usability of Web sites

The theory and practice of visualization using the VTK Visualization Toolkit software. This textbook describes techniques for scalar, vector, and tensor field visualization, as well as texture-map based and modeling techniques. The book includes such important algorithms as color mapping, marching cubes, vector warping and coloring, polygon decimation and smoothing, streamline generation, modeling with implicit surfaces, boolean textures, hyperstreamlines, Delaunay triangulation, volume rendering and many more. Extensive descriptions of data structures and API's, and a succinct description of computer graphics for visualization are also covered. Each chapter contains complete references and exercises (the book is used in many college-level visualization and graphics courses), and algorithms are demonstrated using working VTK code (updated for VTK version 4.2 and published by Kitware). The The Visualization Toolkit An Object-Oriented Approach To 3D Graphics 3rd Edition textbook is 496 pages, printed in full color, and comes with the VTK 4.2 CD. The The Visualization Toolkit text is a companion text to the VTK Users's Guide. While The Visualization Toolkit stresses algorithmic and data structure details, the VTK User's Guide stresses how to install, use and program with the software.

THE INSIGHT SEGMENTATION AND REGISTRATION TOOLKIT The creation of the Insight Toolkit (ITK) was sponsored by the US National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health. This toolkit provides an extensive suite of software tools for the analysis of data sets available from NLM's Visible Human Project. The methods implemented in the toolkit are applicable to a variety of clinical data such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, PET, fluoroscopy and microscopy. ITK is a fundamental tool facilitating research in medical image processing and analysis, and a rich resource for the development of medical image applications. ITK supports the processes of image registration and segmentation of multi-dimensional data and is implemented using the software methodologies of generic and extreme programming. The toolkit was initially developed by a group of universities and commercial firms including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, The University of Pennsylvania, The University of Tennessee, GE Global Research, Insightful Corporation, Kitware Inc., The University of Utah, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh University and Columbia University. OPEN SCIENCE: PROVIDING UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO THE METHODS, DATA AND RESULTS OF RESEARCH The Insight Toolkit is an open-source system and extends the principles of open-source software into the domains of science and technology. The fundamental idea that the scientific process should be accessible by the public is extensively practiced in ITK. Thus source code, data and documentation (including the text of this book) are freely available on the web to researchers, commercial firms, teachers and students that make up the medical and image processing communities. This open process is supported by online mailing lists, web pages, and an active community of developers and users.THE FASTEST WAY TO LEARN ITK Based on the principle of teaching by example, this book guides the reader through an extensive set of image processing, registration and segmentation methods implemented with the Insight Toolkit. Each section presents a series of examples with associated souce code applied to particular image processing and analysis tasks. Fundamental concepts including system architecture, smart pointers and memory management, iterators, and data flow are also described in detail. Complete ITK source code, book examples, documentation, hyperlinked manual pages and data are available on the companion CD-ROM. Additional tools including Kitware's CMake build environment and the VolView image/volume visualization system (supporting ITK-based plug-ins) are provided on the CD as well.
