This book presents non-linear image enhancement approaches to mammograms as a robust computer-aided analysis solution for the early detection of breast cancer, and provides a compendium of non-linear mammogram enhancement approaches: from the fundamentals to research challenges, practical implementations, validation, and advances in applications. The book includes a comprehensive discussion on breast cancer, mammography, breast anomalies, and computer-aided analysis of mammograms. It also addresses fundamental concepts of mammogram enhancement and associated challenges, and features a detailed review of various state-of-the-art approaches to the enhancement of mammographic images and emerging research gaps. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for radiologists and medical experts (oncologists), as mammogram visualization can enhance the precision of their diagnostic analyses; and for researchers and engineers, as the analysis of non-linear filters is one of the most challenging research domains in image processing.

Energy Harvesting: Enabling IoT Transformations gives insight into the emergence of energy harvesting technology and its integration with IoT-based applications. The book educates the reader on how energy is harvested from different sources, increasing the effectiveness, efficiency and lifetime of IoT devices. * Discusses the technology and practices involved in energy harvesting for biomedical, agriculture and automobile industries * Compares the performance of IoT-based devices with and without energy harvesting for different applications * Studies the challenges and issues in the implementation of EH-IoT * Includes case studies on energy-harvesting approach for solar, thermal and RF sources * Analyzes the market and business opportunities for entrepreneurs in the field of EH-IoT. This book is primarily aimed at graduates and research scholars in wireless sensor networks. Scientists and R&D workers in industry will also find this book useful.
