In the last two decades images have replaced written texts; the enormous possibilities of the image language have overcome written language in an ever-more-restricted ambit.An image is better than one thousand words; so it was straightforward to apply visual language in the field of computer science. Nowadays everything that appears on a computer screen is an image, regardless of whether it is a word or a picture. Is it possible to realize an e-learning program without working in terms of images? The answer is undoubtedly no, even if several problems arise in this context: the qualitative and quantitative content of the image we need to use for a specific task; the psychological effect on the user, including the level of attention and the correct perception of the image significance. Most of these problems form the basis of image-understanding techniques.Widespread use of images requires organization of the information in the databank or database, whose dimensions are sometimes so wide as to be too complex to manage; therefore information retrieval techniques arise from this need. The new instruments used in image and\/or remote diagnosis, image transmission, the respect of the law in force and the ever-more-relevant image storage capacity required for this task imply the use of techniques of visual language and information retrieval.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: - Index to Scientific \u0026amp; Technical Proceedings(R) (ISTP(R) \/ ISI Proceedings)- Index to Scientific \u0026amp; Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version \/ ISI Proceedings)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sergio Vitulano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9812385878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789812385871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Sergio Vitulano","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448114688255,"sku":"9789812385871","price":136.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_843ef3d4-9ea0-4e39-b209-f519ed9a882d.jpg?v=1777236994","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/image-sergio-vitulano-9789812385871","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
